Finland has had only marginal far-right parties with ties to the networks Russia cultivated in Europe after 2014. This section covers two small nationalist parties named in those networks: the Blue and White Front (Sinivalkoinen rintama), registered in 2010 and removed from the party register in 2015, and a minor Finnish independence party. Other Finnish groups invited in 2015 to join the Rodina party’s World National-Conservative Movement included the neo-Nazi Nordic Resistance Movement’s Finnish branch (Kansallinen Vastarinta) and Suomen Sisu.
