Johan Bäckman (born in 1971) is a member of a young generation of revisionist Finnish historians. He received his training in the University of Helsinki in sociology and political history, where he defended his Ph.D. and is now adjunct professor in the sociology of law. He is also adjunct professor in criminology at the University of Turku. He has written about Finnish-Russian relations during the Cold War, war history of Finland and Russia, organized crime in Russia and Estonia, The "Russian Mafia", and terrorism.

Bäckman is the recipient of Literature Price of Marshal Govorov (2003) as a publisher of the book Finland and theSiege of Leningrad 1941-1944 by Russian history professor Nikolay Baryshnikov.

Some of Bäckman's ideas are controversial. In a series of interviews given in Tallinn in August 2008 promoting a book scheduled for publication in September 2008, he claimed that Estonia would not survive for another ten years due to the incoming economic crisis and ethnic tensions, while believing the main problem of the country is that the integration policies are "apartheid" and represents a "criminal discrimination of Russians". Bäckman also claims the "destruction" of the Bronze Soldier monument in April 2007 by the Estonian government was "the end of history of Estonia".

In his book Finland washed by blood of Anna Politkovskaya he proposed theory that Anna Politkovskaya assassination was organized by circles wanted to smear Russian president Vladimir Putin.

He is highly critical of the modern Finnish historiography of World War II. Bäckman challenges the traditional Finnish ideas claiming Finland waged a separate "continuation war" against the aggression of the USSR, not being Hitler's ally. According to Bäckman Finns deliberately asked Hitler to destroy Leningrad and participated in the siege actively. Finland also planned ethnic clensing in Karelia 1941-44 for creating a Fenno-Ugric superpower until the Urals or even the river Jenisei, which he claimed was proven by vast amounts of documents and also several Finnish history books by Helge Seppälä, Osmo Hyytiä and Nikolai Baryshnikov.
