The compilation «Sen kun vaan» («No problem») by Johannes Hidman in Finnish includes a story of the same name and some other stories.
The main character of the story is Jussi Tukhanen, a descendant of Finnish immigrants from America, whose family came to Soviet Karelia to build socialism. However, their hopes for a happy life were crushed by reality. Kurt Petrovich, a friend of Jussi's parents, was with him all his life, and only at the end of the story, you can find out who Kurre was for Jussi.
