SOLVED! What is that Finnish stringed ukele and the music?

Does anyone know the name of that Finnish ukele-like, stringed instrument being strummed by one of the main Finnish soldiers in front of the Finnish nurses? I couldn't find any reference to it on the Internet.

What is the name of that musical piece the soldier is strumming? It sounds so familiar. It resembles more Russian to me.

The instrument is a mandolin.

The song is called 'Ich spür in mir' from the movie Mazurka (1935)

Thank you. The mandolin looks like a lute or maybe the mandolin IS a form of lute.
