Kagal (Finnish resistance movement)

In the history of Finland, the Kagal was a resistance movement that existed before the 1905 Russian Revolution and founded under the period of Russian oppression, in resistance to the oppressive government of Governor-General Nikolai Bobrikov which actively conducted Russification of Finland. The name (Finnish: Kagaali) comes via Russian (hence the -g- for an original -h-) from qahal (Hebrew for 'congregation, assembly').
