metadata.value: This article analyzes the reasons that prompted the Soviet Union to pressure the Finnish government
  refuse from participation in the Marshall plan. Special attention is paid to the distinct positions of Finnish President
  J. K. Paasikivi and the government of Finland headed by M. Pekkala. Business circles perceived the Marshall plan
  positively, because it was seen as providing an additional impetus to European integration and to growth of the
  European economy. President Paasikivi considered it primarily to be a basis for overcoming the strong influence
  of the Soviet Union. However, the government ignored the opinion of the majority faction of Parliament, being
  afraid of Moscow’s negative reaction of Moscow; therefore, ratification of the peace treaty by the Soviet side
  could be delayed, and calculations to facilitate reparation payments were unrealizable. Finland’s forced refusal
  to participate in the Marshall Plan was the first serious obstacle to participating in the process of European integration
  that was gradually gaining momentum. Having gained this from the Finnish government, the Soviet side
  actually assumed certain obligations that partially compensated Finland for economic losses, but fulfilling the
  volume of these for for political goals became a significant burden over time.
