Yes, Finnish is not spelt the same than Russian. For all the rest, nope. Finns are not Skandinavians and their language is finno-ugric. Close to Estonian, actually, and with grammatical similarities to Hungarian.

It´s rather interesting that during the WWII, Germany and Finland were allied to fight Russia.

But to me, I strongly support that Finnish is a Germanic language branch. That not the same to Russian.

I´m Chinese. And as Jonne knows Chinese, please explain what is your impression on Chinese and study on it?
it's not a germanic language, but finno-ugric
Welll i really like chinese writing system, it's logical and complicated, hehe.. the other reason why i like it is the tones and the easiness of the grammar.. it feels like a 'holiday' compared to arabic lol. just with the grammar part though.
