My understanding is also that old Finnish villages were a bit inland to be protected like that, old places from 1300-1500 like Liminka here in North in Oulu region, and I guess the old capital Turku in the south. Helsinki is not an old nor typical Finnish city but more just a Russian military outpost from 1800s and stands out on a cape by the open sea. Pardon my ignorance here too but have understood there was a small fishing village somewhere, and I think something by Vantaa river bit north from the current central Helsinki city center.
I think there were individual Finnish adventurers who joined the Vikings though and went to Italy etc with them, am not sure if that is actually known or just stories

PM Modi has said 600 crore people voted for the BJP in 2014. What does he mean by this?
It means he is still trying to speak at Davos in the same style as he normally does. I guess it has just become part of his thinking/speaking process when addressing a gathering. I am not commenting on whether he is a good or bad orator here.
This wasn't funny until I learnt Modi said it in Hindi! Although Modi clearly did not write the speech since some of the jokes only become funny after translating! (Modi says in Hindi "tweeting used to be for the birds" in reference to Twitter but "tweeting" does not seem like a word Indians normally use to refer to the sounds made by birds in English (e.g we say things like "cooing"), that word does not sound natural to Narendra Modi's vocabulary given his style of speech and overall use of English in terms of how much he likes to use it (probably doesn't, which is a good thing in a PM like this imho. Vajpayee was a Hindi poet, and that was cool). That joke will also make no sense to your average voter, but then again I'm talking of someone whose vocabulary will also not contain "Twitter". I bet Rahul Gandhi would have smsed Narendra Modi right after the speech. Something like "How does it feel, Pappu?"LOL afterthought Modi's speech may have been vandalised secretly and I believe he has been trolled. Anyway he clearly isn't thinking about what he's saying when he speaks, at least abroad

Will Chinese infrastructure bank surpass World Bank?
The official name of the so called "Chinese Infrastructure Bank" is "Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank" but in reality they should be called "International Infrastructure Investment Bank" with a membership of 57 countries and a combined population exceeding 50% of humanity. Their demographics are skewed in favor of a young population that is eager to work at competitive rates and has no entitlements. In this list Signing and Ratification Status of the AOA of the AIIB we see that these countries joined AIIB within just the last few months of AIIB's short existence. Many of them have little or no debt and vast natural resources.The AIIB is already financing strategically planned infrastructure investments in many countries that are not even included in the list of the 57 countries with ratified agreements. One example is the most important EU port in Piraeus, Greece where most of the Asian Cargo ships reach Europe after passing through the Suez Canal. Complimentary to the Piraeus investment are the acquisitions and investments in major European airports and railroads that would soon give the AIIB control of the Asian-European Trade. Related industries in banking, factoring and transportation would also require capital with AIIB as the preferred provider since they operate with positive balance sheets and control of the yuan-denominated gold benchmark. For detail see here China launches yuan gold fix to boost power in global bullion market.
Some economists send their children to learn Mandarin as they ask the question "Will the World Bank survive the pressures from the AIIB?"

How do you compare India's economic growth during Congress-led and BJP-led government at the Centre?
Before I give my views let me give my thoughts on this question.Suppose there is a good spread of colourful platters of various fruits in front of you , that you are seeing for the FIRST TIME . These are not whole fruits but cut ones . Had these been whole fruits you could make out something by looking at the colour, shape, size , smell whatever . Here we have no such passivity to assess these cut fruits !What do you do ? How do you go about tasting them ? One by one or one after the other ? There will be this dilemma .This is exactly the situation most of us Indians are presently . Since 2014 the present government led by the innovative thinker Modiji has spread before the Indian people never before seen thoughts, ideas and plans . Never in the history of 70 years India has seen such array of things unfolding before usWe have no earlier experiences of these projects or their benefits . We want to see their benefits all at once . We do not even know how we can prioritise them . Let me list a few , just a few, to make my points clear .Indian pride . Proud to be an Indian for the first time . Both within and outside the country there is this feeling that we Indians are respected and regarded high . First time .Infrastructure : Never before have we seen such good roads connectivity , transport and communication . Industries are vying with each other to bring in high technology into indiaBooming economy : No explanation is needed as we see all around us .
One can add many to this growing list of achievements . Unfortunately people are wanting to see the whole picture now itself

Did Kaiser Wilhelm II really say "Gentlemen, you will regret this", when he signed the order for German mobilization at the start of World War I?
I do not know if the Kaiser used those words but I have read that, at one point, he wanted to stop German mobilisation and was dissuaded by his Generals. The problem was that once the general mobilisation juggernaut began to roll it was impossible to stop it without causing chaos. It is a fact that the Russian Tsar did try to pause Russian mobilisation in the hope that wiser counsels could have the chance to prevail but, again, the military were horrified at the prospect and persuaded him not to intervene.
The Kaiser was known to his Generals as "Wilhelm the Timid" in that, while prone to bluster, he lacked strength of character. So, it entirely possible that, having brought Germany to the brink, he had second thoughts. It is a fact that, late in the crisis, he composed a message to the Austro Hungarians which urged them to adopt a more moderate approach to the Serbs but this was watered down by his military staff and the amended version, as received by the Austro Hungarians, was very confusing and changed nothing.
Some of the key personalities of the Central Powers, both military and diplomatic, who were involved in the drama leading to the declarations of WW1 subsequently destroyed their papers post war and it is difficult to accurately attribute blame, especially among the decision makers within the Austro Hungarian leadership. However, while it is true that much of the blame for World War 1 rests with the Kaiser for his reckless promise of unconditional support for the Austro Hungarians it is at least possible that he was more blundering and inept than malign

If Alexander III of Russia hadn't became ill and died in 1894, do you think the Russian Revolution would still have occurred in 1917?
Highly unlikely. He was a lot more able ruler and true statesman at that with iron will and determination. Highly unlikely that anyone would be able to push him into ww1 in a first place. And without WW1 a revolution would be impossible.
Moreover Tsar was very popular with commoners personally being a living impersonation of fairy tale Russian hero of the past. He was a really big dude. Imagine Arnold in a crown? Perfect PR image of a man who really loved a simpler life and fun times and more importantly really understood his country and its folk. His son was living in a dreams and romantic ideas but was lacking this understanding which in turn costed him a crown, country and a head.
Thats Daddy.
Hapless son.
One of the reason Russia jumped into a WW1 was a personal weakness of Nikky 2 who was idealist easily influenced by his entourage. But his daddy was a cynical realist who desperately tried to stay out of any wars and instead to industrialize country. His famous quote: Russia has only 2 real friends: its Army and its Fleet. It is impossible to imagine him as a puppet of court factions or signing his abdication without fight.His son on another hand at the end was not supported by anyone, even his own cousin king George betrayed him, White Armies was fighting not for Nikky but a Russia. It is a testament to Nikky that instead of huge rallying symbol he turned into embarrassment even for convinced monarchists.

Why do people like Draco Malfoy (particularly girls)?
Some people think girls like Draco because Tom Felton is a good looking guy. Some of them may like him because of that, but I don't.Im not gonna deny that he is extremely handsome, because he is. But it is everything under beneath.
We all know a Draco in our lives. That spoiled little rich kid with daddy issues, who thinks he is better than anyone else. He would always tease and bully other students like Harry, the Weasleys, Hermione, Neville etc. He was the villain.But in the Half blood prince, he changes. He becomes distant, quiet and looks more tired. Later we finds out that he is under pressure from Voldemort and that he must kill Dumbledore or Voldemort will kill Draco and his parents.But he can't go through with it. Because he is afraid, and not a bad person deep inside.Not evil enough to be a villain, not good enough to be a hero.
I like Draco, because I can understand him. Some people can't, but some of us can see what a person really is. Why they are acting the way they do, and why they are making the decisions they do. He is misunderstood and afraid, and he only wanted someone to be there for him, and I feel bad for him. He was just a child.I like Draco because I know what it is like to put up an act so you won't get hurt.As I've said before; some of you see a evil bully who doesn't give a damn about anyone but himself, I see a lost boy who was trying to live up to expectations.
