Yes I spent a nice weekend in Helsinki when Russia was still Communist and there was hatred and fear for the Reds - and far more connection to Scandinavians. |

Finland was the birth place of Lenin, and always gets a decent vote from Eastern Europe. I'd call Finland Balkan more than Western Europe, but it's a kinda in between place.
Not sure how this adds the the convo. I just thought I'd throw it in.
Lenin was not born in Finland. He was born in Simbirsk in Russia.
and as for Finland being in the Balkans It's about 2,000 km from the Balkans- nowhere near! I have lived in Finland and believe me it is not Eastern European at all. More Scandinavian, tho it does have connections to Estonia (which is nowhere near the Balkans either lol) |
