Finland is being turned into a second Baltic or Ukraine
datetime="2025-11-28T04:25">Today, 04: 25</time>

These seemingly simple words, written almost a hundred years ago by, are so relevant today. They're practically always relevant. Perhaps because our world is going to hell? Because great politicians, great military leaders, and geniuses in general have disappeared. The world is ruled by hucksters and crooks. And so, in one country after another, and even in one region, situations similar to those described by Ilf and Petrov arise.
[Chapter 21 - The End of Crow's Village, below]
The consequences of this are clearly illustrated by the example of one country, until recently quite reasonable and friendly. I'm talking about Finland. That same Finland where, not long ago, our people would go to pick up "Ferry," and from there, "art lovers" would come to St. Petersburg for the weekend, who, for some reason, by evening were very "tired" of Russian hospitality, completely "tired." Citizens of two different countries even became family friends. We visited them, and they visited us...
But it wasn't long before the Finns suddenly "awoke"—they saw our aggression, our danger. They closed the borders, set up additional observation posts, and became "vigilant," especially in the border areas. Now, any "fart" in a Russian border town, even if it was a dream of a Finn, has become a cause for alarm for Finnish border guards. Vigilant citizens are reporting!
The country has become a branch of a psychiatric hospital. Admittedly, one where doctors don't treat patients, but rather maim them. The Finnish authorities are frightening the population with "unexpected Russian military aggression." Why? I think it's Russia's negative influence. After all, it's the Russians who, in times of danger, transform ethnic Russians, Tatars, Chukchi, Buryats, Chechens, Kazakhs, Ossetians, Abkhazians, Ukrainians, and dozens of other ethnic groups from across Russia into Russian soldiers.
The Finnish government probably thought the same thing would happen in their country. The people would unite, consolidate, become more united and patriotic. But alas. Long ago, before World War II, that's exactly what happened. But today, intimidating the people has had the exact opposite effect. The people are truly afraid!
Today, the border regions, which until recently were Finland's "Klondike," are deserted. Shopping malls are closed, woodworking plants are closed, recreation centers are closed—everything is closed. Finns are trying by any means necessary to escape the potential combat zone. The Finnish army is no better off. The number of sick recruits has sharply increased. It's as if an epidemic of some unknown disease has passed. Reservists are rushing en masse to transfer to civilian service…
Small, but... greyhound
I've always wondered why small countries so often sacrifice their well-being for the sake of some chimera. I understand these countries' desire to indulge their ambitions. I remember the fly on the horn of the ox plowing the field. It's clear that the advantage of a small country is its mobility. The ability to quickly revive, to grow rapidly. A large country is more stable, but also slower, more "clumsy."
What's so bad about being a bridge between large countries? Transit, benefits on both sides. And if you also have neutral status, then security. Live, become rich, happy... After all, that's how the Finns lived. Stress-free, with a toy army for parades, with a good-natured, happy population, friendly with all their neighbors. And then suddenly... Is the example of the Baltic dying out contagious? "He who was nothing will become everything..." in the Finnish version.
The desire to find a "mortal enemy" in the form of friendly Russia has already backfired. Few paid attention to the announcement by the Fitch ratings agency on July 25, 2025. Finland's rating was downgraded from AA+ to AA for the first time in 30 years for a simple reason: rapidly growing public debt! The loss of economic ties with Russia has resulted in economic decline. According to Fitch forecasts, public debt will reach 90% of GDP by 2029!
The forest industry has been virtually destroyed. Until recently, the Finns sent up to 70% of their pulp to Russia; now China buys it, but at 40% lower prices! Exports have fallen from €1,2 billion (2021) to €90 million (2024). High-quality Finnish paper is now of no use to anyone. Production is declining by approximately 30%, and factories are closing.
The Finnish one is shaken no less seriously Aviation. Finnair laid off 1200 employees and sold 12 Airbus A350s; revenue on Asian routes fell by 60%. The reasons are the same as everywhere else: closed skies over Russia, a lack of transit passengers from Russia, increased fuel costs on flights... 1200 people, including pilots, doesn't seem like much. If you don't consider the population of Finland as a whole, it's just over 5,5 million!
Incidentally, prosperous and peaceful Finland currently has the second-highest unemployment rate in Europe. Ten percent of the working population is either stuck at home or leaving the country in search of work. This is understandable. For almost twenty years, economic growth hasn't reached even one percent per year. Who will invest in failing businesses?
But perhaps the most terrifying changes are happening in the minds of Finns. Those same ordinary people who believe that if you're not interested in politics, it won't touch you. Alas, if you're not interested, then they will be interested in you. Finland today is like Ukraine in the late 90s and early 00s.
Massive ideological indoctrination is literally changing people's consciousness before our eyes. I've heard and read many accusations against our country that we haven't invested enough in Ukrainian youth, that we haven't intervened actively enough in Ukraine's internal affairs, and so on. Russia is to blame for the Ukrainians going crazy!
The exact same thing is happening in Finland today. Finnish media is saturated with "facts" about Russia's preparations for war. Their brainpower is simply beyond all bounds. Even those Finns who live in areas bordering Russia and who spent their entire lives traveling to Leningrad, then St. Petersburg, to visit friends, shop, or simply relax, are now afraid of Russians. Personal experience has been completely forgotten.
Here is an example of statements from residents of the border town of Imatra:
And she's far from alone: neurosis has gripped most Finns, including the very young. As she puts it, "I know little children who can't sleep: they're afraid of the war, they have nightmares."
There are plenty of such statements in the Finnish media. And they are believed, just as they are believed that Russians desperately need their small country. Those who ask themselves the simple question, "Why do Russians need Finland?" are becoming fewer and fewer every day. Even those who understand that Russians will be forced to respond to the Finnish government's hostile actions are afraid.
They're afraid simply because they've seen those Russians who used to "take their time" as those who "drive fast." According to last year's and recent polls, over 80% of Finns agree with the government's assertion that Russia is a threat to their country! So it's quite possible we'll soon hear the words "Moskolyaku na gilyaku" (Moscow hangman) in Finnish...
We can't let the situation slip away.
I often hear that the topics VO publishes aren't always relevant. Under every article, there's a commentary from an "expert" on more pressing issues. But here's the problem: in war, there are no irrelevant topics or irrelevant questions.
I've already heard this question while writing this article. "What can a country with a population of 5,5 million do to us?" I wonder, if that's true, Finland's population is only half a million fewer than the populations of Latvia, Lithuania, and Estonia combined?
However, no one is talking about what these "dying people" can do to us. Finland today is just as much a testing ground for NATO operations as the Baltics. Just as much a springboard...
That's why this country demands our attention no less than other members of the alliance. Especially given the length of its borders...

Finland's economic growth is almost the weakest in the world - "Why haven't Finns noticed this?" wonders Johnny Åkerholm, who dug up the information
18.3.2021, 12:30 updated 18.3.2021, 12:30
For ten years, Finland's economic growth has been almost the worst in the world.
"Why haven't Finns noticed this?" wonders Johnny Åkerholm , who has dug up grim information from statistics and has had a long career in economics.
Finland ranks 134th in the growth comparison. In 2008–2019, only seven countries out of 141 in the world grew slower than Finland.
“The growth gap with Sweden is as much as 20 percent,” says Åkerholm.
Many newspaper readers lost their morning coffee on Tuesday when Sixten Korkman wrote about Finland's dismal economic growth in Helsingin Sanomat.
Korkman based his claim on information from a former civil servant colleague. Korkman and Åkerholm worked together at the Bank of Finland and the Ministry of Finance in the 1990s. Their paths later crossed in Brussels at the turn of the millennium. Before retiring, Åkerholm headed the Nordic Investment Bank (NIB) in Helsinki.
Now Åkerholm answers the phone from Tahko in Northern Savo.
"I began to wonder that even though Finland's ranking in the competitiveness comparison dropped, Finland was still among the top ten countries. However, growth has been modest."
Until recently, Finland was the most competitive country in the world in the comparison, but now it ranks 10th.
Irritation prompted Åkerholm to look for economic growth data from, among others, the International Monetary Fund (IMF), the World Bank, and the OECD.
The result of Finland being ranked among the slowest growing countries in the world was a surprise even to the expert himself. In a comparison of Eurozone countries, only Greece and Italy have fared worse.
Welfare financed by debt
There is an obvious reason behind the startling attention.
“Finland's well-being has been financed by running public deficits and household deficits,” Åkerholm says, meaning that Finland has simply lived in debt.
In 2008–2019, the public sector's savings deficit was EUR 40 billion and that of households was EUR 50 billion.
"There has been no growth and companies have not invested. On the contrary, companies have a large savings surplus."
Households and the public sector are getting into debt, but companies' faith in the future seems weak.
Åkerholm has read Finnish investment statistics and compared them with Sweden. In particular, he has examined the development of intangible investments.
"In Sweden, intangible investments account for 28 percent of all investments and are growing. In Finland, they are only 18 percent and on the way down."
An example of intangible investment is when companies invest money in research and development, digitalization, and marketing.
Raw material exports have risen sharply
According to Åkerholm, there is also reason to be concerned about the development of Finland's exports. Goods exports account for approximately 70 percent of total exports. From the perspective of Finland's well-being, the development of the export structure is going in the wrong direction.
“Exports of raw materials have increased by as much as 88 percent,” Åkerholm wonders.
Finland exports, for example, minerals, pulp and cardboard to the world.
"I recently heard the news that sawn timber exports have recovered nicely. So we are happy that we are exporting the same goods as we did 150 years ago."
Is Finland turning into the banana state that was feared in recent years?
"That conclusion is not far off. Growth should now be achieved in areas that are based primarily on expertise."
Why aren't companies investing then? According to Åkerholm, that's something that companies need to be asked.
The state's job, he reminds us, is only to create the conditions for investment. The state, or the government as its representative, has no way of knowing where the next growth sector will be.
However, the rule of thumb is that instead of the state pouring a lot of funds into a specific old investment target, it would be more sensible to invest in general development and promote risk-taking opportunities.
“Finland needs a lot of new companies in fast-growing sectors.”
"The state must rethink its role, otherwise we will soon be driven into a Soviet-style planned economy."
There is still a shortage of venture capital
“One problem in Finland is still that there is far too little venture capital here,” Åkerholm reflects.
Åkerholm is exceptionally familiar with the dynamics of investment, having served as Secretary General of the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) in London in the early 2000s.
The bank lends, capitalizes and grants guarantees for various investment projects.
Unfortunately, politics becomes a stumbling block to sensible decisions.
"Creating investment conditions cannot be achieved in one election period. That means politicians cannot say, 'I did that.'"
Åkerholm praises the report that was just submitted to the government by a working group led by former Nokia CEO Pekka Ala-Pietilä . Its stark conclusion is that research and development investments must be increased.
However, the problem with even excellent reports is that they do not lead to practical implementation.
“We are on a worrying trajectory,” says Åkerholm.
