Finland is one of those countries that would rather not discuss WWII. After the Winter War they allied with Germany for the Continuation War against the Soviets and then made a separate peace with the Soviets and entered into the half-hearted Lapland War as the Germans retreated to Norway. After WWII the relationship with the Soviets was complicated until 1991. They're feeling more secure these days and are anti-Russian.
