countries like Finland and Canada are also more tolerant of women, gays, and people of other races.

As a Finn, may I just say: rotflmao.

More tolerant doesn't mean exceptionally tolerant. The party which most definitely has issues with all of the above is the second largest in the parliament, and they just had very successful municipal elections, where they almost came in third, increasing their share of votes by a lot.

Also, we had the same dude as president from 1956 to 1981, and he at one point bullied the parliament to pass a special law which skipped the presidential election and extended his term. That's not something democracies are supposed to do.

Edit. Being gay was illegal until 1974 and classified as mental illness until 1981, and marital rape was legal until 1994.

Edit 2. And I remember the 1990s, when there were lots and lots of roving bands of local skinheads loving everywhere looking for brown people to assault in the towns outside the capital area. A group of them were beaten black and blue at our local market by an ex-CCCP basketball player for assaulting the only black man in town, who was also a basketball player.
