A surprising number of places in Finland have been named after Vladimir Lenin, perhaps the most well-known (including the Lenin Park in Helsinki) is the Lenin Museum in Tampere, which is known to be the only one of its kind in the Western world. Under Lenin's leadership, Soviet Russia recognized Finland's independence on 31 December 1917 (officially approved on 4 January 1918 by the All-Russian Central Executive Committee), so that is probably the reason why Lenin's name has become worth mentioning in Finland.
I didn't know Finland is supposed to have other famous beaches than that of Kalajoki. It seems like "toripolliisi" even has an English wikipedia page. Very short, but it basically contains most of the information the Finnish one does. It means market square police. "Polliisi" with two letter L is local dialect. The statue honours police officers who in the past had the duty of looking after the market square.
Fun game and pretty easy for a Finn. It's often impossible to get perfect score on this kind of maps containing a lot of photospheres, but that's not the point. The point is to have fun. In the beginning you asked about the will of defending home country. We have a neighbor who has attacked us over 20 times in the past 1000 years and we have been at war with them over 100 years in total. They also occupied our country for 108 years. That may have something to do with it :) The statue on the second round is a very famous landmark of the city. You should memorize it because it very likely will appear in some other game some day. You asked about what we are going to eat for dinner on the Independence Day. In my house we will have beef steak today. We don't have any specific traditional food for the day in Finland like eg. you always eat turkey on Thanksgiving.
Toripolliisi is directly translated "The market square police". It is dedicated to the actual market square police officers who kept the order on the square and the immediate vicinity from 1939 to 1979.
Toripolliisi (The Bobby at the Market Place in English) is a bronze sculpture located at the market square in Oulu, Finland. It was made by sculptor Kaarlo Mikkonen in 1987. The sculpture measures 220×150×112 centimetres (86.6×59×44 inches), and it was named in honour of the bobbies that once patrolled the market place. The sculpture was funded with the help of a public fund raising started in 1985, and it was revealed in September 1987. If anyone's interested.
You were momentarily on the track in Oulu there! This was and easy one for a Finn, especially since I have travelled around the country a lot. Some photospheres were a bit inaccurate but managed 24 982 pts.
The olympics were 1952 and Linnanmäki or at least the wooden rollercoaster was built for it or at least just before it in 1951, conveniently. It is still good and in pretty much in original condition although the wooden beams have been changed one by one even multiple times during maintenance over the years of course, but they have not redesigned it in any way. Still my favourite attraction or "ride" in Linnanmäki.
Welp wasn't familiar with the second round either xD Ended up guessing Kuopio, cause I knew there was a kauppahalli there. Rest of the game was easy tho, only the last round had to double check, cause there were two beaches it could've been, Kalajoki or Yyteri. Luckily the cape in the distance made it easy to figure out which of the two it was, tho still didn't manage to pinpoint it due to lack of landmarks. The drone shot in round 4 was also definitely misplaced, so lost a good chunk of points there. @2:00 The top comment shown on that post explains it pretty well. The instability of Russia. @13:25 Yes that is named after the Lenin that you're thinking of. The initiative was made by a member of the Finnish communist party (which is nowadays defunct) in 1970, to honor the 100th birthday of Lenin. Lenin had a significant role in our independence (tho his motive was a twisted), and he did also live on Finnish soil on multiple occasions in the early 1900s. Lenininpuisto is not the only commemorative token in Finland for him, there are a handful of other statues and plaques as well. Doesn't justify any of his later terrors tho, which is why earlier this year it was decided that the park will be renamed some time in the near future. @17:56 At least our family doesn't have any specific traditional food that we eat on Independence day. Usually just something slightly more fancy than the usual weekday or Sunday dinner.
During the summer there are good beaches also in Rovaniemi and Oulu. I bring this up because I understood, possibly, that you intend to go to one or both of them. So they already have beaches.
Hyvää itsenäisyyspäivää!
The last one was 50/50 if it is Yyteri or Kalajoki. Both have big sandy beaches.

the unfinished hotel in oulu is a real eyesore haha
5:38 There is a military parade on independence day in finland ever year in different town. This year it was in oulu, by that stadium.

Yyteri is also very famous beach
@@tompsu9536 Yeah, it's more about my own ignorance since I was never much of a beachgoer.
1952 were the Helsinki Olympics.

What crazy things happened in the market squares to need to keep the order?
