Ilta-Sanomat carries material from a new book that suggests Russia used a shooting in Imatra to advance its propaganda goals.
The book is titled Valehtelua, vakoilua ja valtiollista vaikuttamista (Lies, espionage and state-backed influencing) and written by Jouni Mölsä and Markku Mantila.
Mölsä served as head of communications for President Sauli Niinistö, so had a front row seat in watching this unfold.
The 2016 shooting saw three women shot by a man in the eastern Finland town, not far from the Russian border.
Soon afterwards troll accounts on social media began posting false claims that the women had been Russian and the perpetrator had worked for Finland's Defence Forces.
Those false claims had to be debunked by Finnish officials, but were likely aimed at Russians inside and outside the country.
The authors ask whether the Imatra operation was part of attempts to persuade Russians that they were under attack outside Russia, offering them a reason to assist Russians outside the country with money and weapons.

Good advice?
Business daily Kauppalehti leads with a piece on ministerial advisors, focusing on their number and salaries.
The paper checks on Prime Minister Petteri Orpo's (NCP) claim that the preceding government led by Sanna Marin (SDP) had spent too much money on too many advisors.
KL finds that the Orpo administration has managed to reduce the numbers. It has a total of 58 advisors, including 47 special advisors and 11 state secretaries.
Marin's coalition government, on the other hand, had a total of 79 advisors composed of 65 special advisors and 14 state secretaries.
The state secretaries all get 10,971 euros per month with the exception of Orpo's right hand man Risto Artjoki, who receives 14,278 euros per month.
Special advisor salaries range from just under 5,000 euros per month to just under 9,000 euros per month.
Espoo's women's swimming sessions a hit
Helsingin Sanomat goes to a swimming pool in Espoo that has started to offer women-only sessions on Sundays.
The paper finds plenty of happy swimmers queueing up outside, with staff estimating that between 120 and 150 people turn up each week for the sessions.
They are the first sessions held by the municipality of Espoo, but there are sessions offered in the Helsinki suburb of Jakomäki and at Vantaa's Korso swimming hall.
HS interviewed swimmers who said the sessions were fun, and they would immediately sign up for swimming tuition if that were an option.
Some of the swimmers were of immigrant background, but HS also interviewed a white Finn who said she had not swum for ten years because she did not want to wear a swimsuit during the normal swimming sessions.
The current run of Sunday swimming for women is a trial running until the end of November. It could continue, with that decision to be made next month.
