Abstract

After having been a part of the Swedish Monarchy for 600 years, in 1809 Finland became part of the Russian Empire. With this, it took its piace in the so-called transitory periphery, which developed for centuries under the auspices of the Stockholm (western) centre and Saint Petersburg, the symbol of the eastern centre. The Russian protectorate meant economical backwardness, but it did not set back Finland in its development; what is more, in a bit more than 100 years, modernisation helped Finland to join the developed world after having been among the poorest regions. Although eastern effects and eastern characteristics could be observed in this development, on the whole it followed the western, Scandinavian pattern. When in 1995 Finland joined the EU, the Finnish arrived where they had always believed to belong.
