While the city centre of Helsinki is beautiful and interesting it is the history of the Russian Empire more than Finland. Come see a different part of the city, one that is authentically Finnish! Finland has been sandwiched between two of the great powers of Europe for hundreds of years traded and occupied and from the birth of the Grand Duchy of Finland the independent Republic of Finalnd emerges through the fires of civil war and the savagery of the Eastern Front. Come hear the story of Russian Military Officers and Swedish Royalty, from the assaination of Russian Statesman to the ghosts of the sanatorium. Through revolution against an Empire, the invasion of the Soviet Union and a flirt with dictatorship modern Finland emerges as a unique republic in the modern world.
