"The Great Famine of Finland, also referred to as The Years of Many Deaths by some Finnish historians, killed about a third of the Finnish population in two years.[1] It was Finland's worst demographic catastrophe."

The Finnish Wikipedia tells more on this famine of Finland in 1695-97. According to the Finnish Wikipedia the Swedish government did not supply enough food to the Finns. Poor starving Finns could not buy any food, because the government did not give it for free. Too many people in Finland starved to death because of the government. This famine was in part intentional and thus must be considered as a kind of genocide.

How many times have the Finnish TV Stations, newspapers, history magazines and the rest of the media have dealt with this famine over the years? Hardly ever. They are consistenly silent on this. They de facto deny this famine or its interpretation as a genocide. And this only one hushed historical fact in Finland.
Also related historical events are censored in the media. For example the nationalist and racist ideologies in Northern Europe in the 19th century, because today's Finnish politicians have involved in this as the next link proves. (in Finnish)
