Nomenclature
The regime was also known by the colloquial name of the Terijoki Government (Finnish: Terijoen hallitus, Swedish: Terijokiregeringen), as Terijoki was the first town to be captured by the Soviet Red Army. The government is also occasionally called in Finnish historiography as the Kuusinen Government (Finnish: Kuusisen hallitus Swedish: Kuusinen regering). Officially the government had the name of the Finnish People's Government (Finnish: Suomen kansanhallitus Swedish: Finlands folkregering).
