YYA is the rare medical occurrence where the individual’s body ages along a normal chronological timeline but the brain ages in reverse from adult to child.
Parents never know that their newborn has YYA at first because most people’s brains at this age is baby like.
For most its not for about a year that YYA is diagnosed.
Finland and Globalization(Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
In 1948, Finland signed the Agreement of Friendship, Cooperation, and Mutual Assistance (or YYA Treaty) with the Soviet Union.
The YYA Treaty created a buffer zone for the Soviets that they were comfortable with.
Once Finland’s domestic situation had improved, and their relations with Russia had stabilized, Finland began to increase their political latitude by pursuing a policy of “active neutrality.” The Finnish government began to take on a bridge-building role in the global community.
ISCII [1991, Annex-A], identifies YYA with Devanagari ya, and introduces Devanagari ya with an underdot to represent YA.
In those three languages (the Eastern Indian languages, say), it is YYA that is pronounced like Devanagari ya, while YA (when alone) is pronounced like Devanagari ja.

Communists were not included in the new minority cabinet led by Fagerholm, and there was no communist participation in Finland's government again until 1966.
As leader of the Social Democrats, he was prime minister from 1948 to 1950, despite fierce Communist opposition and accusations by the Soviet Union that he intended to undermine the Finnish-Soviet YYA Treaty by taking Finland into NATO.
Even Finland's growing integration into the world economy, as demonstrated by its joining the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT) in 1949, was viewed with similar suspicion.
The "YYA Treaty" (Finno-Soviet Pact of Friendship, Cooperation, and Mutual Assistance) gave the Soviet Union some leverage in Finnish domestic politics.
Many politicians, like President Kekkonen (1956–81), used their relations with the Kremlin to solve party controversies, which meant that the Soviet Union got even more influence; other people worked single-mindedly to oppose the communists.

Starting in 2005, WAVES also includes the ONA Communique newsletter and will include the YYA newsletter when one is produced.

There is no current version of the YYA newsletter online.
The YYA Treaty, extended in 1955, 1970 and 1983, required Finland to repel any attack on the USSR through Finnish territory but otherwise the country maintained a policy of strict neutrality.
In 1944, it agreed to a separate armistice and was forced to cede 12% of its total area and make huge war reparations.
The war reparations to the USSR amounted to 5% of the Gross Domestic Product in 1945-8 but were paid off in 1952.
It will not be important what piece of land you own, but which elements of commerce you control.
During the earlier years, Lange remembers having as a Christian experienced political persecution, when he was accused of opposing the friendship (YYA) treaty between Finland and the former atheistic Soviet Union.
While praying and seeking God's help to these situations, he was reminded by the Bible that God powerfully helps those who are at His service whole-heartedly.
Some leading Finnish communists proclaimed that the "Czechoslovakian model" was to be Finland's future as well.
This ends in the signing of the Treaty of Friendship, Co-operation and Mutual Assistance ('YYA' is the Finnish acronym) with the Soviet Union in 1948.
In it, Finland among other things commits itself to defend its territory against Germany or any other country allied with Germany that might use Finland as a way to attack Soviet Union.

To which I could only reply: “Yes, we Estonians have no experience with the Russians”.
What divides us most is the period from WWII until the end of the Cold War (and the YYA Treaty on Friendship, Cooperation and Mutual Assistance that coloured that era).
The Finns fought the Soviets, were abandoned by the West, and reached an accommodation with their Eastern neighbour that allowed Finland to prosper.
