From Eric Dickens:

As you will have read in David's posting "Putin-Jugend in Helsinki",
about the Finnish seminar marking the 60th anniversary of the Estonian
Deportations of 1949, one author invited will be the prize-winning
author Sofi Oksanen. The seminar will take place in Helsinki on 23rd
March 2009.

A pathetically timid 'demonstration' against Sofi Oksanen's book was held in
the main building of
Helsingin Sanomat (biggest daily in Scandinavia). It was organized by Johan
Bäckman, the Kremlin's notorious Finnish *agent provocateur*. He had managed
to bring along 20-25 'Nasis' from St. Petersburg, few of whom were less than
45 years old. So much for 'Jugend'.

I went there an hour ago to take (1) a look and (2) a few photos. You can
watch the pictures here:
