Not surprised about Finland. I've read quite a lot about the "Winter War", the war between Finland and Russia in the early years of WW2. Although terribly outmanned, the Finns made the Ruskies pay big time. They know full well that Russia can't be trusted, and I suspect that's why their number is so high.
In 5 months of war, Finland lost 25,000 troops against the Soviet Union.... Finland 'surrendered' when basically their equipment was worn out, they were out of ammunition.. and all promised help never came, except under the table from Sweden, where up to 25% of the Swedish Army, "crossed the border" and served the Finns....
In those 5 months of war, Russia released its losses in 1989, with the collapse of the Soviet Union.... 1 million plus troops killed....
