ationalist AND expansionist?? Hmmm As opposed to Finns, who are just nationalist or ??
Well Finnish nationalism in 19th century was created by the russification attemps and led to independence. There arent strong nationalistic political partys/movements in Finland today.

Russia actually doesn't need Europe - it's big and self sufficient country, as opposed to so many nations that make up Europe.
Actually Russia is pretty vulnerable to world market prices, 80% of its exports are natural riches. And it has to import a lot of products.

I can smell that behind your poll (and judging by your comments in the past) is just one thing: you hope Russia breaks up and Korelia becomes part of Finland. And the hell with the rest of the country, and its people.
More like hell whit its leaders and wake up and smell the coffee to the people.
