Kollaa kestää (Finnish for "Kollaa will hold") is an expression of perseverance and resolve in the face of impending difficulty or crisis.
The phrase originated in the Second World War. During the Battle of Kollaa, Major General Hägglund asked, "Will Kollaa hold?" (Kestääkö Kollaa?), to which Lieutenant Aarne Juutilainen replied, "Kollaa will hold" (Kollaa kestää), "unless the orders are to run away."
The Finnish punk band Kollaa Kestää uses the name.
