Can anyone really believe in all these lies so naively?)
At the same time, everyone forgot that it was the Russian Empire that saved the Finns and all of Finland from Swedish slavery... The Swedes, having seized Finnish lands, actually made them slaves...
Here's a little bit of the truth of this world... which was forgotten by some ungrateful traitors who swore allegiance for being given sovereignty.
on September 17, 1809, let's remember? According to the terms of the Friedrichsham Peace Treaty, which ended the Russo-Swedish War of 1808-1809, Finland became part of the Russian Empire.
The Finns not only retained all their rights and privileges, but also gained autonomy for the first time in history with the proclamation of the Grand Duchy of Finland in September 1809. Moreover, two years later, the tsar handed over to them the territory of western Karelia, the so—called "Old Finland", which was ceded to Russia following the war of 1741-1743. (It is for her that countries will fight in the 20th century). Thus, by becoming part of Russia, the Finns came as close as possible to creating their first national state, which happened in 1917.
