Abstract
This information is from a secret memorandum dated 25 April 1967 and sent to the Communist Party of the Soviet Union from the Soviet Embassy in Helsinki.
The bourgeois press of Finland, and Helsingin Sanomat in particular, have readily offered their pages to serve the anti-Soviet provocations of the embassy of the People’s Republic of China.

In this connection, Teo Mertanen, editor in chief of Helsingin Sanomat stated to Ambassador Andrei Kovalev that he understood the motives behind the Soviet protest. 1
