The anti-Soviet sentiment in Reboly was still strong, and in 1921, after the Red Army re-took Reboly and Porosozero, local pro-Finnish activists formed a short-lived resistance movement known as the Metsäsissit (literally Forest Guerillas).
Den anti-sovjetiske stemning i Repola var stadig stærk, og i 1921 efter, at Den Røde Hær havde besat Repola og Porosozero igen, oprettede lokale pro-finske aktivister en kortvarig modstandsbevægelse kendt som Metsäsissit (oversat skovguerillaer).
