📝 Summary

The authorities of Finland are trying to rewrite the history of the country. This was stated in an interview with "Russia 1" by the former director of the closed Lenin Museum in Tampere, Aimo Minkkinen.

He said that after the institution closed, he had to rescue the historical documents and books left there. "I took the photos and books because they said they would destroy them. <...> [Finnish authorities] are either rejecting the past or [want to] rewrite it in a new way," Minkkinen said. The former museum director also preserved Lenin's decree on granting Finland state independence. Lenin's Museum in the city of Tampere closed on November 3, 2024. Now, the Museum of Eastern Relations Nootti operates in its place. For more information, watch the "Vesti" program on the "Russia" TV channel.
