At the same time its good to remember that Finland also did everything during Cold War to appease Soviets....thus the term "Finlandization" And Im saying this as a Finn, we just have to be honest with our history and during Cold War Finn political leaders did everything possible to have as good ties with Soviet Union as it was possible, except joining Warsaw Pact...and thus we didnt join EU until in 1995 and it took monumental shift in security situation for us to join NATO...thats how hard struck the "Finlandization" was here. You could ofc say Finland played it smart back then during Cold War, and even more so after Soviet Union fell apart by keeping our defense forces not only in good shape but impoving them beyond what was possible during Cold War, but either way the good thing to remember that during Cold War days Finland would have done nothing to aid country invaded by Soviet Union because we would have done everything possible to appease them.

The question I've asked myself is, "Could Russia become a reasonable neighbor even if Putin wasn't in power?" And I can't honestly say that it would be any different. If it wasn't Putin, some other Russian strongman would take his place. I'm not saying that all Russians are like this, but the Russian government has done its best to drive any opposition out of the country. Generations of Russians who might have been able to reshape Russia have left the country, been imprisoned or murdered. Even the war in Ukraine with thousands of their own sons dying, from reactions I've seen they're either too scared to say anything or completely apathetic. As long as Russian culture stays unchanged they'll continue to have this type of leadership.

Helsinki alone has an underground facility that can house over 900k people. Bridges are built with a place for mines so they can be destroyed quickly and easily.

Once? If only. We Finns have been invaded dozens of times by those cunts. We have known for many centuries, that "the enemy will always come from the East". And then the Finnish joke usually goes: "Unless it somehow makes a cunning flanking manoeuvre and comes from the West."

As a Finn, I feel very disappointed and sad because of the horrible war started by Russia. When the Soviet Union collapsed in the 90s, I was hopeful about the future. Trade and other normal interactions with Russia increased. Some years ago, I started studying Russian and I'm still doing it. My intention was to travel to different parts of Russia. But now - a lot has to happen before that.

By the official English definitions, Finland doesn't really have "cities" at all. Just some larger and smaller "towns", and a ton of "villages".

I really enjoyed my trip to Finland. What a huge blunder Putin made starting this war and alienating a great, peaceful neighbor. The Finns are right to be wary of Russia now and prepare for living next to a country that has always been ruled by despots whether czars, Stalin or Putin. This makes Russia somewhat unpredictable as a neighbor.

Native russian speaker from Ukraine here, soviet Ukraine to be exact. I grew up mostly in the US, had Latvian and Ukrainians diaspora friends who's parents held very unkind views of Russians. Honestly, I always viewed that as a bit of hysterics. Even up to the actual invasion in 02/22, I thought western hysterics were fueling this talk of invasion. And then...the invasion happened. And with this invasion, as my aunt's town took missile and drone strikes, as the Russians had their convey so close to Kyiv before they were repelled, I started watching man-on-the-street interviews in Russia on KZread channels like 1420. Now granted, obviously these are not interviews of ALL Russians, but still I was shocked by the broad slice of population presented, showing either utter apathy or flat out venom. This just turned my stomach is all I could say. I've now witnessed how bad they are as a society, and I cannot unsee it.

The anti-Russian sentiment in Finland is apparently rearing its head after having been on the decline during the last few decades. But there's a reason for it: Russia has attacked the lands that are now Finland so many times over the centuries. The centralized power in Moscow has also attacked numerous peoples - in fact, probably all of them - around and within its borders for over half a millennium, ever since Ivan the Terrible rose to power. The list of these attacks is long, and the attacks are always brutal. They almost always follow the same strategy: Russia makes up an excuse to send in the troops (for example, to "protect" certain people or to fight against "terrorists") or creates a false flag attack, then Russia executes thousands of civilians, deports the same amount, razes the cities to the ground, and finally erases the culture. This is what Russia has done almost too many times to count, and this is what they are now attempting to do in Ukraine. As a result, people around Russia have gotten used to not trusting Russians. Now because of the invasion of Ukraine, the emotional reactions to Russia's historical behaviour are returning to the surface. Russians have to stop the whining "why does the world hate us?" when they have done it to themselves. They could play nice, they could evolve to become a rule-abiding country which wants good. Nothing's stopping them. But instead they steadfastly and gleefully hold on to their imperial, colonial oppressor mentality. For generations Finnish people have taught their children to "never trust a Russian" and used an expression which roughly translates to "a Russian is a Russian no matter what you do to try to change them for the better", meaning Russians are deceptive, it's in their nature, and nothing will change that. Shame that they have to think that way, for sure, but it's an understandable attitude for those who are neighbours of Russia.

Hey there. Finn here. We've had a pretty tense relationship with Russia at the best of times since the end of the Continuation War in 1944, and ther fact that we have had to balance our relationship with the Kremlin and the West for almost 80 years means that we have some incredibly unique insight into the mind of Russia. We Finns have always been wary of Russians and now that Russia has invaded another sovereign, neighbouring country, which we all recognise could have just as easily been Finland, we've had our worst fears confirmed.
