is this a Finnish thing by any chance? i only ask because I have some very good Finnish friends and it looks a bit like the kind of thing they write! Incidentally i have also had a skinful as I write this (although I still like Finnish people sober!)

If you enter the term into a translator it comes back as Fortress Night.

I may be wrong here, but trying to put two an two together it sounds like the Finns celebrate this as an independence day from the Russians.
Similiar to us Yanks celebrating our independence from England; with food, fireworks, and drink.

They (The Finns) made their stand in the town of Lappeenranta.
Some history:

Lappeenrannan linnoitus on alun perin ruotsalainen linnoitusjärjestelmä, jota ovat laajentaneet myös venäläiset.
Linnoituksen rakentaminen alkoi Lappeenrannan kaupungin perustamisen jälkeen 1649

Translated means

Lappeenranta fortress was originally a Swedish fortress system, which also have extended the Russians.
Construction began on the fortress of Lappeenranta city after the creation in 1649.

Google Translate Will take you to a wiki page on Lappeenrannan

sveikas! (A Lithuanian toast. My heritage, it means "to your health")

Lappeenranta is under the "A" pin, and Russia is to the right of the white line.
