I cannot attest to that: I have been to Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania and they all look very similar to each other in terms of culture, architecture and mentality. The only difference I noticed is that Latvia used to be the most Russian friendly, and the other 2 - the least.
Now they all hate Russians for reasons beyond my understanding - Soviet Russia saved them all from German Nazi genocide - they all were doomed to disappear as nations as per Hitler plan. Then USSR invested heavily in them building factories, power stations, infrastructure etc. And in the end all we got is hate. Thank you.
Why didn't you mention how Russia murdered or relocated to Siberia most of their smart people?

Why would I repeat someone's lie? Keep hating us though, we only get stronger because of that, and we learn our lessons - never give help anyone in Western Europe, you will never get same back.

Putin told you that it didn't happen? Nice propaganda machine he has.

Actually it's the other way around, I still admire how well real facts are hidden and "revised" in western societies and how smooth orchestration goes when western press starts another campaign to brain wash its "free" people.
Putin need to learn a lot from that.
But I do admit that brain washing is common from both ends of this endless stupid east vs west war.

-cold weather (at least nine months out of the year)
-rain and gray (yes it is cloudy quite often, even during summer) they have a joke in sweden that says "this year summer was on tuesday"
-you have to understand and adapt to scandinavian style socialism (nanny state type deal), my friend for example couldn't take the fact you can only buy so much alcohol in sweden and you need a Bolaget, she had to drive like 20 minutes to buy a beer from the place where she was authorized to buy it.
- you have to like peace and quiet and nature (a lot of people claim they do but get depressed after a month in the middle of nowhere)
- yes
- not necessarily. It's often sunnier here than in central Europe and doesn't rain that much at all
- yes, except in Denmark. Systemet, or ALKO as it is called in Finland has like a million shops. I don't see why this is a problem, except that they are closed on Sundays
- we have cities you know. You don't have to live in the middle of nowhere.
But you might also like:
- safety
- everything functions
- high standard of living
- nice and genuine people
- nature
- something else
Maybe you don't like it, but most people do.
Here's a picture for you:
And for the others: GTFO this thread with your putin-propaganda. Nobody is interested.

such a beautiful picture of finland ariete, I'll be able to get a tan, eat some delicious salmon, talk with some lovely finland people and eat karelianpirukas!
She has an Australian accent. I saw nothing on the web site that stated where they were from.
Yes I saw something saying she was from Sweden. She has dyed blond hair, look at the eyebrows, and a full teeth job. She has probably moved to Australia.

Yes, it doesn't always have to be necessary chaotic. Sitting on by a calm lake like that in sunset, light out for 17 hours, some grilled salmon or perch, and muurinpohja-pancakes with whipped cream and fresh strawberries for dessert. Pristine.
Of course you are able to get a tan here.
Now when it's dark and 8 degrees it's time for theatres or clubbing.
Here's the pancake like so:
