What is the relation between those two countries?

>>79283778
cordial relations

>>79283778
We try to keep good relations with them while thinking they are an almost failed state.

>>79283778
Russia is an artificial buffer state made by Finland so they dont border North Korea

>>79283778
>there is literally only one country between Finland and Mongolia

Only Finland and Japan has defeated Russia.

Well ours was only a mental victory.

>>79286233
so both are shitholes with economies going down the toilet

Maybe Finns will finally stop being so fucking arrogant and pompous towards Southern Euros now that they too are becoming Africa-tier.

we have defeated Russia aswell

Nokia and paper business were really important for us. Nokia fucked up by not going the smart phone route. Paper business is obviously going down the toilet because of everything being digital these days.
We are starting to grow again but pretty slowly.

Nokia sounds similar to Blackberry

Blackberry DOMINATED the market in the late 90's, every single fucking businessman had a shitty blackberry. Then they got complacent, didn't improve anything at all, and now are extremely irrelevant compared to the Android-iOS duopoly.

>>79286638
Yup. Nokia was too arrogant because they were the big dog and thought they could go on without innovating. iPhones became the norm and still they didn't think it was the way to go. Androids came and still they didn't follow. Windows phones were a fail and here we are.

>>79286551
in our country, Nokia is still associated with the highest quality

>>79286942
Well they are almost indestructible but most people here want smart phones with touch screens.

Finland's international relations in general have always baffled me. They aren't part of NATO, they were never part of the USSR, and they neither completely fit in with Scandinavia or the other Baltic states or Russia.

It's kind of like Belgium in that sense that it's just a weird amalgamation of all its neighbors, except you can easily say Belgium is predominantly most similar to the Netherlands, while Finland maintains a near perfect equilibrium of influencing cultures.

I think most of it is because of Kekkonen.
We tried to keep good relations with USSR after WW2. We still try to and no Soviet or Russian leader has seen us as a threat.

If Nokia releases something like this and for the same price, it will be immediately sold out
Just because it's NOKIA

>>79287188
Well Nokia really isn't anymore.

>>79287188
are Chink phones popular in ex-ussr countries?

>>79283778
What if Finland isn't real and when you took a plane to Finland they just let you off at random Russian airport and tell you it's Helsinki.

>>79287174
Yes, but the other Baltic states and Poland never wanted to be part of the USSR either. I'm curious as to how Finland managed to avoid getting eaten up by the Soviets despite never aligning with the Allies.

They are incredibly popular

>>79287451
Well they would speak Russian there. St Petersburg looks kinda like Helsinki I guess

>>79287505
War fatigue probably? We had already defended against them.

>>79287505
Because Winter War and the fact that we didn't fight against the Allies besides USSR. Had they annexed us or puppeted it still would have drawn the attention of the US and UK, as we were the only democratic/non-fascist country that had collaborated with the Nazis, and the sympathy of Winter War would have led the US to demand the SU to withdraw from Finland and that would have led to a crisis. Stalin had somw pretty good advisors despite being a paranoid dumbass

>>79288691
Considering Trotsky and a few other officials under Stalin absolutely were plotting to usurp him, Hitler betrayed the non-aggression pact with the Soviets, and Churchill feverishly despised Commies, I'd say his paranoia was well-founded in most cases.
