Difficult for Americans, sure. Ask the average US high school graduate
where Finland is on a world map, and they point to anywhere between
Africa and the Middle East. (This is not my guess, I read this
somewhere.) I think it must be beyond the scope of even scholars (in
your country) to deal with countries changing their names - which
happens all the time, by the way, not only to former USSR republics.
;-P
IOW, political comments have nothing to do in this list.
