The Finnish embassy in Moscow conducted a study examining Russian attitudes toward Finland and the Finnish state. The investigation found that a significant number of Russians are unfamiliar with prominent Finnish politicians. “The most famous Finn is still the actor who is known to about 20 percent of Russians,” reported Ilta-Sanomat.

Finnish president Sauli Niinistö and Russian president Vladimir Putin have been subjects of interest in the study.

  2. What factors contribute to this lack of awareness among Russians regarding Finnish political figures?
