Hey Guys,

Just need to put a quick scenario to y'all. Let's say at some point from 1843-1845 there's a war in Europe between a Grand Coalition (including Britain, Prussia, Austria and Sweden-Norway) possibly allied with the US, against Russia.

Now the reasons for this are a little obscure and everything, but my point is that let's say Russia loses. During the war numerous Russian lands have been occupied by the Grand Coalition. Specifically in one part the Åland Islands and FInland have been occupied, this is the second war against Russia in the space of a few years. The first one was quick and simple, this one isn't and is much bloodier.

But my main questions are, who in Finland at the time could be a good revolutionary to overthrow the Russians? Could he be influential in gaining anti-Russian support? And lastly What would be the best tactic for the Swedish-Norwegians to take in Finland to capture it? Also how well would the people of Finland work with the Swedish-Norwegian troops? Let's say the troops are relatively well disciplined and all that, IOTL when the Russians took Finland over at first they rebelled (or at least in a small area they did). Would they welcome the Swedish-Norwegians here or not?
