> my long-dead grandfather served in an anti-aircraft unit of the Finnish Army during WW2, defending against the attacks of the Soviet Union. Perhaps this is enough to qualify as a “Nazi” in Russia these days.
Ah, the famous "we did nuffin'" totally not white-washing Finns.
From the same article on the Wikipedia:
>> Finland was one of Germany's most important allies in the attack on the Soviet Union, allowing German troops to be based in Finland before the attack and joining in the attack on the USSR almost immediately.
And for the author who obviously has an... interesting lapse in the knowledge of the history of his own country: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Siege_of_Leningrad
It's also quite interesting what the author do knows about HN but specifically registered here 6 days ago. What for?

  I wonder, why on earth would Finland have any hostility towards the USSR in 1941? It beggars belief!

    Finland did send hundreds of people to be murdered in Nazi concentration camps.

    No, it did not. Unless you count the Soviet POWs who were murdered in Stalin's gulags.

    No, Finland handed both jewish and non-jewish Soviet POWs to Germany. Hundreds of people sent from Finland to Germany died in the camps. Finland also deported multiple jewish refugees to Germany, these people were neither Soviets nor POWs.

    Yes, sure, Finland had it's own complicated reasons for behaving the way it did. There's however no serious dispute about whether or not Finnish collaboration in the holocaust happened.

  OTOH, after trying to conquer Finland in 1939-1940 Russians definitely have no moral right to judge Finns.

  Could it be that Germany was the only nation willing to help Finland fight the Soviets?
  From Wikipedia
  > Interim peace > ... > Defensive arrangements were attempted with Sweden and the United Kingdom, but the political and military situation in the context of the Second World War rendered these efforts fruitless. Finland then turned to Nazi Germany for military aid.

This is the blog of a guy who for whatever reason is trying to dox the owner of archive.today
It's a shame the DDoS isn't working.
OTOH, this all looks so silly it might as well be the archive.today operator trying to push fake dox on themselves.
