Finlandization is absolutely a thing, it's even mentioned OP's Fine Article on Finnair Flight 915 ;) National-level Finnish politicians still weigh their statements on matters such as the imperialist endeavors of our beloved eastern neighbor. Other institutions are gradually becoming less self-censored. Someone better informed, or just older than my 30-or-so years can probably be more precise and offer more and better examples. But I have the sense that internationally renowned journalist Jessikka Aro's reporting on Russian disinfo ops wouldn't have been encouraged, yet translated to English and Russian by Finnish state-owned broadcaster Yle before, say, 2005 https://kioski.yle.fi/omat/jessikka-aros-prize-winning-stories-on-russian-propaganda https://kioski.yle.fi/omat/jessikka-aros-prize-winning-stori...
