In Finland, "laukkuryssä" (Finnish for "bag Russian", Swedish: påsaryssar) were travelling salesmen who went around Finland and northern Sweden from the middle 19th century to the early 20th century. Despite the name, "laukkuryssäs" were not ethnically Russian, but instead Karelian peasants. Their trade was called a "bag trade", after the large leathern backpacks they carried.
