The figures from Ylistaro are not known exactly, but they must have been about 50 percent. In the "mental atmosphere" after the Second World War, the traditional narratives were often considered exaggerated. According to latest researches the situation seems to have been even worse. Many scholars (Vilkuna, Keski-Sarja, Ylikangas) are talking about genocide or holocaust. The human losses did not end at this, for after the battle the situation turned to hell for the civil population. The Russian soldiers were allowed to "do whatever they wanted to". Almost all the women were raped, people were killed and tortured for no reason, houses were burnt, and robbing of possessions and cattle was widespread. The command on Peter the Great was not to occupy but to make the region impossible for living. In that sense, a huge number of young children were captured and taken as slaves to Russia. Just a few percent of them managed to come back home. People fled to distant cottages or saunas that were earlier built for tar burner workers. At least fifteen stone bases are still to be found in the woods of Isokyrö. So it is no wonder that people in this area have for a long time had some doubts and mistrust concerning Russians. The saying: "A Russian is a Russian even if fried in butter", was based on these terrible collective memories. A contemporary Swedish historian, Jonas Nordin from the University of Stockholm stated in 2000, the Finnish part of the kingdom was not properly defended. Many of the Swedish authorities considered, as crown prince Adolf Fredrik in 1746, Finland as their storeroom and wall against Russia. This review of the battle is revised to respond the knowledge of today as found for example in the book "The Folk of Hard Tribulations", "Kovien kokemusten kansaa" by Kalervo Mielty in 2013, which is based on thorough investigation of all the available studies and local tradition of today. Similar views as presented above were also represented by professors Heikki Yli-Kangas, Kustaa H. J. Vilkuna and Ville Sarkamo in Napue-seminar, spring 2014. These views will come up in a film document (containing reviews of Yli-Kangas, Vilkuna, Knaapi, Mielty, Loukola), 23 November 2014. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XjFglWuwn6g
