Halonen ütles, et Soome lähenemine Euroopa integratsioonile tuleneb paljuski 60 aasta tagustest kogemustest. President meenutas, et pärast Euroopa mõjusfäärideks jagamist Nõukogude Liidu ja Saksamaa vahel, tuli Soomel võidelda Punaarmee vastu, et säilitada oma iseseisvus. Me pidime tegema seda üksi, ilma märkimisväärse välise abita. Viis aastat hiljem, suvel 1944 õnnestus meil jälle peatada Punaarmee katsed Soomet vallutada [...] Meie jaoks tähendas maailmasõda eraldi sõda Nõukogude Liidu vastu ja me ei pidanud jääma tänu võlgu teistele.1 Kaks päeva hiljem avaldas Venemaa välisministeerium oma kodulehel teate pealkirjaga: Venemaa välisministeeriumi informatsiooni ja ajakirjanduse osakonna kommentaarid seoses meedias ilmunud küsimustega, mis puudutavad Soome presidendi T. Haloneni poolt Teise maailmasõja olemuse tõlgendamist.2 Keegi küsija, kelle nime ei pidanud Venemaa välisministeerium vajalikuks märkida, viitas Haloneni kõnele ja palus välisministeeriumil seda kommenteerida – sest Euroopa ajalooga kursis olevate inimeste jaoks olevat selline lähenemine pehmelt öeldes üllatav. Samuti ilma nimeta vastuses öeldi, et niisugune ajalootõlgendus on tõepoolest Soomes levimas eriti viimase kümne aasta jooksul, kuid et vaevalt on põhjust viia üle terve maailma ajalooõpikutesse sisse korrektiive kustutamaks mälestust sellest, et Teise maailmasõja aastatel kuulus Soome hitlerliku Saksamaa liitlaste hulka, sõdis tema poolel, ja seega kannab ka oma osa vastutusest selle sõja eest. Kommentaaris soovitati lugeda 1947. aasta Pariisi rahulepingu preambulat selleks, et veenduda, mis on ajalooline tõde, mainitud leping olevat 1 Helsingin Sanomat. International Edition. 7.03.2005. http://www.hs.fi/english/article/1101978754422; http://www.hs.fi/english/print/1101978754542 loetud 26.04.2013. 2 Министерство иностранных дел Российской Федерации. http://www.mid.ru/bdomp/Brp_4.nsf/arh/EC2527949C2E95BDC3256FB9005F21FD?OpenDocument loetud 26.04.2013. 4 muuhulgas garanteerinud sõjajärgses Soomes inimõiguste ja vabaduste taastamise, mis pani aluse demokraatlikule ühiskonnale. Venemaa välisministeeriumi anonüümsel kommentaatoril on õigus vähemalt ühes asjas: 10. veebruaril 1947 kirjutati tõepoolest Pariisis alla rahuleping ühelt poolt Soome ja teiselt poolt Nõukogude Liidu, Ukraina NSV, Valgevene NSV, Ühendkuningriigi, Kanada, Austraalia, Uus-Meremaa, Lõuna-Aafrika Liidu, India ja Tšehhoslovakkia vahel. Samal päeval sõlmiti sarnased lepingud ka Itaalia, Rumeenia, Bulgaaria ja Ungariga.3 Käesoleva töö autor uuris mainitud rahulepingule vahetult eelnevaid ja järgnevaid sündmusi 2011. aastal kaitstud bakalaureusetöös.4 Praeguses töös huvitab autorit eelkõige see, mismoodi sattus Soome sõtta Inglismaaga.

Sumida, In Defence of Naval Supremacy (London: Routledge, 1993), N. Lambert, Sir John Fisher’s Naval Revolution (Columbia, SC: South Carolina University Press, 1999). Certainly, it was a cost-saving measure. But whether Britain employed a Dreadnought fleet or ‘flotilla defence’, it became clear between 1906 and 1912 that most of the Fleet would be needed in Home Waters if war with Germany erupted.

Pr[_ IL_ FOREWORD Tile Noise Control Act of 1972 requires that the Administrator of The Enviromnental Protection Agency (EPA) develop and publish criteriawith respect to noise. These criteria are to "reflect tile scientific kno'_ledge most useful in indicating tile kind and extent of all identi- fiableeffects of noise on the public health and welfarewhich may be expected from differing quantities and qualities of noise." This document meets that re(luirement. The terms "criteria and standards" are generallyused interchangeably in the scientific communities concerned with noise and its control. However, in accordance with the intent of the U,S.Congress, criteria for environmental pollutants are to reflect an honest appraisal of availableknowledge relating to health and welfare effects of pollutants, (in this case, noise), The criteria are descriptions of cause and eft'eet relationships. Standards and regulations must take into account not only the health and welfareconsiderations described in the criteria, but also,as called for in the NoiseControl Act of 1972, technology, and cost of control.
