Well done, Finland! (3:09)
Dear Finland,
The 6th of December is your day of celebration. During your 102 years of independence you have developed into an exemplary country in many respects. It is customary to praise the celebrant but as a Finn, giving praise is sometimes difficult. That’s why we searched around the world for examples on your successes.

Suomen 100 vuotta Virtasten silmin – näin köyhästä maatalousmaasta tuli moderni hyvinvointivaltio (20:42)
Video englanniksi selostettuna. Virtasen suvun kautta kerrotaan Suomen historiasta 1900-luvun alusta nykypäivään. Se on kertomus siitä, miten köyhästä maatalousmaasta tuli moderni hyvinvointivaltio.
