Russia and Finland lived in peace for a long, long time. I don’t know whether Finland still feels hurt over the territories unjustly captured from them by the USSR Finland, like Ukraine has spent much of history under domination of another country, in Finland's case Russia and Sweden at different times. When you were in Helsinki, you must have noticed the bi-lingual Swedish-Finnish traffic signs. It is surprising that the culture and language survived. I suppose the hostile geography helped. I worked on projects with 2 different employers for Nokia and have been to Finland about 25 times between 1996-1998, and one week in 2008. The Finns I knew accepted the relationship with USSR/Russia, but didn't like it. They were much more aligned to the West than to Russia. I only know about the border movement because multiple Finns told me about it.
