Details: Russian-owned property was seized in several regions of Finland. One of the properties is a Russian Federation-owned seaside site in Kirkkonummi. Russian diplomats used it as a recreational place.
According to the land register, this parcel of land in the south of the country contains 17 hectares of land and 3.5 hectares of marine waters. On 24 October, a bailiff seized it.
Another site, visited by television and radio journalists, is in Siuntio. Its area is around 8,000 square metres. A Soviet Union commercial representative office acquired the site in 1973.
The Finnish government also confiscated the Russian Centre for Science and Culture in Helsinki, as well as four other Russian-owned buildings in the Åland Islands, including a residential building, as reported by Helsingin Sanomat.
