I, tsuhna

I was raised to despise the Soviets; it was the big bad eastern wolf that would as soon as you turned your back come over and make our capitalistic Finland to a communist hell. All the Finns knew what an awful life the Soviets had, and we have always felt us superior to our eastern enemy. Just as much as we always have felt inferior to the rest of the world.

But I just learned that the Russians in fact call us Finns for “tsuhna”. Tsuhna are people who are intellectually inferior, living in woods in their smoke cottages, and their only occupation being churning the butter.

Well folks, having no one to feel superior to anymore, I better get back to my butter churn.
