Abstract

In my article, I analyse how taistoism, a Finnish communist movement of the 1970s, is reminisced in the play Baikalin lapset (”The Baikal Children”) by Pirkko Saisio. My analysis focuses specifically on the thematics of remembering: how the characters of the play discern their relationship to their past. The play’s dramatic stage unfolds as a complex stage of remembering where several temporal layers are present at once.
