Kontula Library

I am an Ingrian Finn who moved from Estonia to Finland, and I started work at Kontula Library in 1996. During my first year I was speaking Russian to a Russian customer. The customer's jaw literally dropped open.

Today, Russian customers know to approach me directly. There is a well-spread rumour among the Russians living in Kontula that there is that blond working in the library who speaks Russian. Milla
