Finally I have been able to find concrete way to start fulfilling my mission to build strong network of trust between Russia and Finland. I have been fortunate enough to be offered some responsibilities in my work place related to business in St. Petersburg and since then I have been traveling to this wonderful city weekly bases. How happy I am!
I have started to realize the fact that the biggest burden to create friendly ties between Fins and Russians is not at all in the Russian side. The problem is the completely unnecessary negative attitude and almost hostility of Fins towards Russian people. And absolutely without any reason. I have been able to create more close and warm friendship in one month with Russian people than I do in two years in Finland. Russian people are really warm hearted, friendly and generous people.
But now, I am in the very beginning of my new journey. Please do join it with me! I will keep you updated about it!

Tatu, you put it that Fins are negative towards Russians "absolutely without any reason". I'm not really sure but don't you think that underlying reasons are in the history of our countries? As it often happens with neighbors, we were several times at war with each other - during the Swedish rule (i.e. Birger's invasion to Novgorod in 1249, Livonian Wars in XVI-XVII centuries, Great Northern War), then Finland was almost for a century a part of Russia - as a Grand Duchy of Finland. And then followed wars with Soviet Union in 1939-1940, and the World War II.
I think, there are the roots of negative attitude. Why did I mention these old quarrels? I believe if we understand the reasons we behaved that way in the past, we may try to understand each other better, to respect our differences and the common that we do have.
And I'm so glad you make efforts to establish friendship with Russians. :)
See you soon,
Dennis
Hi Tatu,
I found you by using my husband's linkedin. (i don't have an account so.) Tonight we were watching Olympic opening ceremony and saw athletes from your country and my husband asked how you are doing...
Actually I saw you the other day on SGI HQ's monthly video with Pr. Ikeda. You went to the training course in Japan back in May (or June?), didn't you?
Anyway, great to know that you are having connections with russia&Russian people though work too! Congratulations!!!!
