Reading yesterday about the meeting of Russia and Nordic leaders was like reading a political thriller and expecting the Presidents to start some war of words over some GPS disturbance. Sweden's Löfven is also meeting Putin after Sweden's avoided diplomacy with Russia for many years. A clear sign of a thaw between Sweden and Russia.
Today, as for Finland and Russia, it seems they couldn't get more positive... two guys making jokes:
Finnish President said that he hopes Finnish "vodkatourists" in Russia behave well and Putin smiles and says that they behave well now that they learned to eat while drinking. Putin also hopes Russian "vodkatourists" likewise behave in Finland.
The whole meeting seems historic and positive, but the world seems more interested in Russia lifting a ban on yoga in prison or releasing Beluga whales... if they talk about Russia at all.
