”It’s not the person who makes a mistake who’s stupid, but the one who doesn’t learn from it.”
We can only after we grow understand certain things, after we go through life, and after time quietly teaches us what we once didn't know.

Lainaus kirjasta:”Sovimme Sauli Niinistön kanssa, miten venäläisten kanssa toimittaisiin.
Neuvottelut käytiin palatsin koristeellisissa saleissa. Valtavien kristallikruunujen rytmittämässä marmorisalissa seinien yläosissa oli kuvattu kuin suunnitellusti Venäjän sotasaavutuksia ja antiikin historiaa kuvaavia reliefejä. Venäläiset osasivat tyypilliseen tapaansa luoda asiallisen ja ystävällisen tunnelman, vaikka molemmat osapuolet tiesivät Suomen itärajalla tapahtuvan teatterin todellisen laidan: Venäjä testasi taas Suomen viranomaisia ja kansalaisia. 
Mukana Suomen delegaatiossa oli myös suurlähettiläs Hannu Himanen. Hän toteaa, että monet poliitikot, ketään erikseen osoittamatta, ovat historian aikana luulleet käyvänsä aitoa keskustelua Venäjän valtiojohdon kanssa ja aidosti uskoneet tutustuvansa venäläisiin päättäjiin.
– On tärkeää ymmärtää, että nämä ihmiset ovat roolissa ja pelaavat peliä. Kyse ei ole siitä, että pyrimme rakentamaan luottamusta, vaan siitä, miten tätä peliä pelataan, millaisilla panoksilla ja kuka voittaa ja kuka häviää. Kaikki keinot ovat sallittuja. Venäläiset ovat hyvin taitavia tässä, miten sen sanoisin – he osaavat olla charmantteja, Himanen sanoo.
Sipilän mukaan noissa neuvotteluissa puhuttiin Suomen itärajan tapahtumista.
– Otimme asian noissa neuvotteluissa esille. Medvedev kielsi, että valtiojohto tietäisi ilmiöstä mitään. Hän sanoi, että Venäjä ei voi puuttua ilmiöön, koska se on kansainvälisten sopimusten vastaista. ”

The monumental large-scale painting Landscape from Koli by Eero Järnefelt, A. W. Finch and Ilmari Aalto, dating from 1911 (installed at the railway station in 1923), which is located in the historic dining hall of Helsinki Central Station. Measuring almost 40 square metres, the work is one of Finland’s largest works of art painted on canvas. The painting depicts a National Romantic view of the Koli landscape in North Karelia. The work has recently undergone extensive conservation work, during which its colours were brightened.

#54000badges
#AnuHytönen writes:

#SeppoMäkinen is one of the few Finns to have earned a place in the 
#GuinnessBookofRecords for his achievements. Mäkinen received this certificate in 2008 for the world’s largest collection of badges, which at the time comprised over 30,000 badges. No one has yet broken this record; on the contrary, the collection has continued to grow and now comprises over 54,000 badges.

The collection is packed with the history of different countries, events, famous people, car brands, company logos, organisation badges, honours…

This book offers glimpses into this colourful and diverse record-breaking collection, as well as recounting interesting stories related to the pins.

Seppo Mäkinen has had a varied career in media communications. Among other roles, he has worked as sales manager at Yhtyneet Kuvalehdet and A-lehdet, as export manager at the Finnish Foreign Trade Association, and as export director for the Sanoma Group’s printing division in Russia. He has lived in Moscow and St Petersburg for a total of seven years. Consequently, his pin collection includes numerous Soviet-era insignia, such as those of a KGB duty officer or a militiaman. There are tens of thousands of exclusively Russian and Soviet pins in the collection. Pins have been just as popular in America and China.

Mäkinen has acquired pins on his many travels. Sometimes he has made trips specifically to acquire a particular pin. This was the case, for example, on the occasion of the wedding of Crown Princess Victoria and Prince Daniel of Sweden.

Mäkinen has arranged his vast collection of pins into panels, which have been on display at various exhibitions. The panels are 65 cm wide and 85 cm high, and there are 125 of them in total.

The idea for this book arose from a chance encounter whilst I was writing a feature for the Vesanto Local History Society’s summer magazine about Seppo Mäkinen’s pin collection. The magazine’s theme was collecting. Whilst wri…
