English page contradicts the finnish page. Finnish page seems to be of better quality. The statement about the lottery seems counter-intuitive and seems to have a "red viewpoint". In the finnish article it is mentioned that about 10% of the prisoners were shot, but they were identified one by one and then shot in groups of 5. Red propaganda after the event referred to lotteries.'

Also article on "decimation" notes this finnish incident, so it might be incorrect.

It has nothing to do with decimation. Decimaton is red myth. In reality, people who were were identified as war criminals or red leaders, were shot.
