Edit: it's not a Texas-level situation though. Pretty sure the origins of the Winter War, the proposed land trades etc were all explained in high school
Don't remember much about the concentration camps, though that might be on my part
Teenage me "whatever, the Russians started it :vivian-shrug: "
Finnish culture loves their mythologised WW2 narratives and their veterans though which might stick in your mind more than history lessons
Also, the civil war discussion is tainted by this too. The reds were horrible looters and ill-disciplined raiders and the magnificent whites were pure and noble heroes.

My family fought for the Reds, and some died as POWs on White-run camps so they've always at least sympathised with the Red side
