A nuclear-powered return to #Finlandisation?

Finns worry Russia’s partnership on a nuclear plant could lead to regional subservience.

Russia could help build Finland’s next nuclear reactor, following the government’s decision to move forward with a Finnish-Russian group’s proposal.

The Fennovoima group is run by a state-owned Russian company and 40 Finish firms. Finns are angry about the government’s decision, especially those opposed to increasing any Russian influence in the country. 

Using #Fennovoima, Twitter users expressed their disapproval of the potential new plant.
