Re: Russia (seems like we're doing countries)

Yeah, many people around me seem to think that the Finns have a sort of a national trauma over the Finnish war and the whole Soviet deal. Because for a long time they were under a threat of invasion, but, unlike the countries such as Estonia and Latvia, they never actually ~got~ invaded. And now it's an unfinished business, a collective nightmare that never came true but is still somewhere out there (like a monster under a bed).

It was a real fear during the Cold War, yeah, and it can be seen in Finnish politics during the period (we were bending over backwards to please USSR). But it's not very common these days, except maybe among the older folk, mostly people seem to fear that we get swallowed by EU.
If we're talking about national traumas the Civil War was more of a one than Winter/Continuation War. Finns are proud of Winter War, which can get a bit awkward if one mentions that we fought that with the Germans.
