 FAST-FIN-1 (TRENPP2C) Finnish Institutions Papers
According to statistics on alcohol consumption in Europe between the years 1906 and 1910, Finland was in a class of its own — at the bottom of the list.
Finns were consuming only 1.5 litres of pure alcohol per person annually, as opposed to the 2.4 litres consumed in Norway and 4.3 litres in Sweden — and the 5.0 to 22.9 litres per person in other European countries.
According to this idea, it was customary for Finns to drink large amounts in one go in order to get drunk and then behave in an exceptionally uncivilized, violent manner.

AIA already reported that the list, named after former SUPO director Seppo Tiitinen, is believed to contain the names of 18 people in Finland who are thought to have awakened the interest of Stasi operatives.
Finnish President Tarja Halonen does not want to take a stand on the issue of releasing the Stasi list, as the Security Police is not the President's police force", and non-interference by the President is "a principle of the rule of law", the paper writes.
The files contain information on how some of the private fortunes were accumulated at the end of 1980s, as communism was about to end in Poland – though some documents may date from the times of Leszek Miller’s government in the late 1990s to early 2000s.
