Revamped Finnish museum says 'Good Bye, Lenin!'
The Finnish Lenin Museum in Tampere has been rebranded as 'Nootti' to focus on Finnish-Russian political relations, moving away from its original dedication to Vladimir Lenin. The museum, located in a historically significant building, aims to provide a comprehensive view of the evolving ties between Finland and Russia, from Finland's independence in 1917 to the present. The rebranding has sparked conspiracy theories in Russia, suggesting it was influenced by the West. The museum seeks to counteract Russian historical narratives used as propaganda, especially in light of recent tensions, including Finland's NATO membership and border issues with Russia.
