Hello Jari,
No... I mean nothing of the sort, I am referring to Urho Kekkonen adroit
use of Finland's need to make reparation payments to the USSR to develop th=
e
Finish economy and his recognition generally that the relationship could be
exploited (transit and trade) generally, to Finland's advantage.
Best,
Jeff
Dear Jeff,
as a Finn by nationality (and being somewhat of an expert in its
economic history), I am extremely puzzled by this:
11) =C2=B3The Workers Paradise:=C2=B2 How the USSR created the conditions for
Finland=C2=B9s Prosperity
If you are referring to the older research tradition that suggests that
Stalin industrialized Finland, then you might want to change this. The
newer research does not support such a conclusion. Do explain what this
topic entails...
