During the cold war, there was the USSR&#8217;s influence on Finland&#8217;s policies. The treaty shielded it from being attacked or incorporated into the USSR as the Baltic and eastern European states had been. It enabled Finland to pursue a path of democracy and capitalism while remaining neutral in the conflict between the great powers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-verse\" style=\"font-size: 18px; text-align: justify;\">The 1948 Treaty formed the basis of Finland-Russia relations until 1992, when Finland signed a new agreement with post-Soviet Russia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:25px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Ukraine and Finlandization<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-verse\" style=\"font-size: 18px; text-align: justify;\">Ukraine, a former Soviet republic, has shifted increasingly toward the West, both economically and politically, while resisting Russian influence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-verse\" style=\"font-size: 18px; text-align: justify;\">In 2008, NATO said it planned eventually for Ukraine to join, a popular idea within the country. However, it has never actually applied for membership, and NATO officials say it would not happen any time soon. &#8220;Finlandization&#8221; would allow Moscow a heavy hand in Ukrainian affairs. It goes against what Ukraine has been striving for, joining NATO and the E.U.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/details>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:24px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bostonglobe.com\/2022\/03\/18\/opinion\/finlandization-ukraine\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Boston Globe<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The French President had earlier suggested that Finlandization could be a viable option for Ukraine&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":8629,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","portfolio-category":[428,437,426],"class_list":["post-8631","portfolio","type-portfolio","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","portfolio-category-428","portfolio-category-march-2022","portfolio-category-newsfeed"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.3 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>What is &#039;Finlandization&#039;?
