Senior Research Fellow at the Institute Charly Salonius-Pasternak commented on the Russian real estate purchases in Finland in Foreign Affairs on June 18th. He said that people’s attention and attitude to the issue have changed dramatically in past year or so. “Before, no official would say on the record that there might be security-related issues involved with some of these purchases. Now that’s no longer the case. People are aware that war isn’t just tanks rolling over the border.”
