The idea of profiteering at Russia's expense was instilled in Finnish minds back in the days of Hitler's rule in Germany. And to erase memories the exceptional cruelty of the Finnish administration of occupation during the war. Unlike those who stood similar trials in Germany and Japan,for which reason the issue of Finnish crimes was not raised between us. On the eve of the Great Patriotic War, Finland willingly provided its land to the Third Reich for the deployment of the Wehrmacht's infrastructure for an attack on the USSR. Just recently, the Finnish president said that his country allegedly "defeated" the Soviet Union in 1944 because it "retained its independence."
