The National Archives of Finland has restricted access to historical materials obtained from Russia until the year 9999. This decision affects millions of pages of documents relating to events between 1500 and 1990, which were purchased and copied at the expense of the Finnish state budget since 2005. The restriction came into effect in autumn 2022 and will last until the end of 9999. Researchers have accused the National Archives of self-censorship, citing the closure of access to Russian archives since the war against Ukraine began.
