I read this piece by you, Maura, immediately after reading an article in the NYRB about Finland's changing relationship with Russia: https://www.nybooks.com/articles/2023/03/09/finlands-turn-to-the-west-gordon-f-sander/?utm_source=nybooks&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=email-share There are accounts of several journalists from Finland that are congruent with your description of your Russian journalist friend. For example, "The revelation of the atrocities the Russians committed as they withdrew from Kyiv in the spring was also decisive, according to Alec Neihum, a Finnish journalist: 'After the discovery of the horrors of Bucha, the scales fell from a lot of eyes.' On May 17 the Finnish parliament voted overwhelmingly, 188–8, to endorse the president and prime minister’s recommendation of applying to NATO." I hope, Maura, you will find time to read the article from the NYRB.
