| | Report submitted for the 1998 Gulf of Finland Annual Assessment |
| | These examples show a high vulnerability of the Gulf of Finland to the invasions of potentially harmful alien species. | | | Besides Dreissena and Cercopagis, a number of other alien species have been recently found in the Gulf of Finland waters, whose impact on the Gulf of Finland ecosystems can be significant: a Ponto-Caspian hydroid Cordylophora caspia, North-American polychaete Marenzelleria viridis, New Zealand snail Potamopyrgus antipodarum, Baikalian amphipod Gmelinoides fasciatus, American barnacle Balanus improvisus. | | | Two alien species identified at the BMB WG 30 NEMO meetings as "hot" or "black list" species, whose impact on Baltic Sea ecosystems seems to be very important, are now established in the Gulf of Finland. |

| | Fascist groups twice attempted coups in Finland during the 1930s but although these were both put down, the government agreed to pass anti-communist laws. | | | The Soviet Government yesterday rejected the United States' offer of its good offices in settling the dispute; the Soviet Government did not think they were needed. | | | Though according to foreign reports the Red forces this morning launched their promised "help for the Finnish people" against their democratic Government - led by Socialists, the Kremlin's particular detestation - the Russian people remained ignorant until late tonight of the fact that their Government had involved them in actual warfare with their tiny neighbour. |
