新聞Sputnik『From MH370 to Fake Melania: Top 10 Biggest Conspiracy Theories of the 2010s』

モスクワに本社のありますロシアSputnik紙の記事（『From MH370 to Fake Melania: Top 10 Biggest Conspiracy Theories of the 2010s』） です。様々なConspiracy Theories（陰謀説）について記載しております。この中でフィンランドは架空の国家だとする説がありました。それに日本が関わっているとしています。この記事は短いのですが難解で筆者は何度も読み返しました。それでもよく理解できませんでした。文法的には簡単ですが言わんとする核の部分が伝わってきません。ちょっとした謎解きにと原文を載せて頂きました。

Finland doesn’t exist
Since the Flat Earth theory, there hasn’t been a bigger geographical conspiracy that Finland, a legitimate nation of 5.5 million, is just a hoax. It appears that the claim was first floated by a user under the nickname Raregans on Reddit in 2015.

In a thread discussing weird things parents do, Raregans said his parents told him that Japan had invented, with the consent from the Soviet Union, the “landmass” called Finland where the actually is a body of water to fish there without restrictions. He then claimed that the fish was transported through the USSR under the guise of products by Nokia (a Japanese company in disguise) and that the UN was also involved into deceiving the international community.
