Investigations into a Nazi terror cell in the sleepy town of Kankaanpää drew headlines two weeks ago, but little was really known about the five men detained by police.
Officers told the world they were suspected of weapons crimes and planning a terror strike, and were enthralled in a far-right ideology.
Iltalehti went to Kankaanpää, located near Pori in the south-western region of Satakunta, to find out more about the Nazis' environment.
The town is no stranger to far-right activity. When an asylum reception centre opened in 2015, one of the buildings was burned to the ground. That police investigation is still ongoing, and the reception centre has long since closed.
IL reports that Facebook groups set up around the same time shared information about the movements of asylum seekers in the town.
The same groups said they would be willing to establish street patrols if they felt it necessary.
The suspects in this latest terror plot were a familiar sight in Kankaanpää nightlife, reports Iltalehti, but their everyday life was probably pretty similar to Nazis in larger cities.
"Most of their activities are the same regardless of the location: distributing propaganda," said Tommi Kotonen of Jyväskylä University. "Stickers can be stuck, and they train among themselves."
Iltalehti reports that pictures of Adolf Hitler have been placed around the town, along with stickers from the banned Nordic resistance Movement.

Helsingin Sanomat has a lot of politics on Thursday. The paper's monthly poll is out, showing a continued lead for the National Coalition Party, with the SDP in second spot and the Finns Party in third.
HS also publishes its election compass ahead of the county council elections due on 22 January 2022.
The goal of the compass is to allow voters to differentiate between the candidates, by giving them a set of statements they can agree or disagree with and analysing how each candidate's answers stack up in relation to the voter's.
The compass then offers a list of candidates and parties that hold opinions most similar to the voter who also filled in the compass.
The HS election compass is only available in Finnish, but Yle's will be published in English too.
Ilta-Sanomat takes a look at the recently-elevated profile of Krista Kiuru (SDP), the Minister of Family Affairs and Social Services who has been prominent in announcing and pushing for tougher lines on Covid mitigation measures.
Last Friday she fronted a ministry effort to beef up testing, urging people to do more rapid tests to track the spread of Covid and isolate when necessary.
Since then she has been the one to announce tighter restrictions on international arrivals, and her statements have been increasingly at odds with those of the National Institute for Health and welfare, THL.
This bigger role in fronting Covid policy seems to have come at the expense of Prime Minister Sanna Marin, her Social Democratic Party comrade who has hit the headlines for less strict interpretations of Covid rules and seems to have taken a back seat on Covid policy herself.
Ilta-Sanomat carries anonymous quotes from MPs and government sources on the situation. One SDP MP says this is the leadership that has been lacking, while others suggest it is a return to normal: Kiuru is taking the lead as the minister responsible for Covid policy.
Sources elsewhere in the government suggest that Marin is taking a back seat because she finds it difficult to admit she may have made a mistake in advocating a broad reopening of society.
Either way, taking the lead on Covid remains a poisoned chalice, and with Kiuru happy to take difficult and unpopular decisions, it's unlikely anyone else will want to take her role soon.
