Finland had the https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Winter_War https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Winter_War with Russia and lost territory.
Anyone know what the sentiment in Finland is over the territory loss is, given the current situation? I don't know a ton about it, but it seems very similar to what Russia is doing with Ukraine.
- euroderf 5y agoIt's pretty much accepted as gone. There is romanticization of Karelia in folk culture, but the country as a whole has moved on. Disclaimer: I'm not Finnish, just an ex-pat living there. Amusing side note: some years ago a Finnish politician suggested trading the Åland Islands to Russia in trade for Karelia. It created quite a brouhaha :)
