For what it's worth, I'm a historian specializing in the 20th century. One of my relatives served in the Waffen-SS. https://www.politico.eu/article/fight-against-ussr-nazi-waffen-ss-trooper-yaroslav-hunka-world-war-ii-soviet-union-germany/ 

 The students have occupied the University of Helsinki in protest against the extreme right government. Today the university threatened to clear out the protesting students because of an event where the President was scheduled to speak.

As an alumnus of the university, I joined the occupation and put in my day's work from the university lobby. We also shouted at the president a lot.

They did not clear us out.
