1. Why russians? We actually neighbors (40 minutes from my home to Finland), we like them and we prefer to be friends with them.
2. Everybody can be smart after the case :) I'm sure now the'll design something more safe.

How true is this? Every Finnish person I've ever met has mistrusted and feared Russia.
What I CAN see is the glee on the Russian discussion boards whenever an incident like that is mentioned in the news. It's either that or outright denial blaming the Finns (British, Estonians, etc.) for making these claims up out of "russophobia".
You said you are OK with event, which can cause a war, and you dislike Putin.
I'd be quite interested in their perspective on world politics. My impression is that Russia has a lot of propaganda and filtering of the media, and I assume it has a different character from the propaganda and filtering of the media in western countries (... where it happens just as well, but in a more decentralized, money-oriented fashion).
To clarify: I'm not fan of Trump, but I glad to see such reaction.
They frequently bring up how they beat the Germans and the Russians in WW2. And how Finnish vodka is the best. And how it sucks that the world's most popular sauna heater is made in Sweden, because Finnish sauna heaters are superior.
Of course after Trump, the general feeling about US is pretty close what we think about Russia...
That said, no reason not to be careful after what has happened in Ukraine etc we should of course be careful: Russia can wipe out half of Norway just by turning around while they sleep.
That's why we try to be friends and we continue to be part of NATO
The civil war may or may not have been part of the plan, but the primary Russian goal was to secure their supply route to the Black Sea naval port.
A port that Ukraine had been happily leasing to the Russians since the dismantling of the USSR.
There are no such reason for Russia to enter Norway. They already have Murmansk as a naval port, and they export way more oil and natural gas than Norway.
Yes, but this is the kind of basic issue that everyone designing any sort of networked system should be aware of. The network is not reliable, and if you assume it is you're just setting yourself up for failure.
