There is no USSR anymore, so there is no associations with it. According to your logic, Finland must be associated with Nazi Germany and 3rd Reich because you were aliens during WWII. I'm I correct?
As about Russia... Finland like Russian Federation was a part of Russian Empire before the revolution of 1917. That's your history and we can't change it.

Your education sucks, man. North/South is the thing defined by latitude, while East/West is the thing defined by longitude. So you are at the East and North
at the same time, like Turkey which (partially) is at the East and South of Europe. BTW, if you look at the map, you will see that Russian territory expands even much more Northern than Finland.
