In the autumn of 1921, Ólafur Friðriksson came back home from Moscow where he had attended the 9th Congress of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union. With him he had a boy whom he intended to adopt. When the 15- year-old was diagnosed with glaucoma, an eye disease which was feared could be contagious the authorities decided to deport him.
This was seen as a political act by Ólafur and other socialists who barricaded themselves in Ólafur’s home at Suðurgata. When the police attempted to apply force, they were beaten back. For the next few days it seemed anything could happen. Both sides began to arm themselves and the stage was set for a bloody showdown. What happened next would determine the fate of Iceland in the 20th Century.

Hosted by historians and The Reykjavík Grapevine founders Valur Gunnarsson and Jón Trausti Sigurðarson
