Reporting on the latest figures from Statistics Finland, the daily Ilta-Sanomat tells readers that a record number of approximately 6,000 people immigrated from Russia to Finland in 2022.
In comparison, when the Soviet Union drew its last breath in 1991, around 5,500 people from the entire USSR moved to Finland.
