Sweden has pursued a policy of neutrality for 200 years - while Helsinki's non-alignment is fueled by fears over the security of its long 830-mile border with Russia.
But now that frontier could soon belong to Nato - just 250 miles from St Petersburg.
In Moscow today, President Putin claimed that Russia had no problem with either country joining Nato, but he warned that the "expansion of military infrastructure into this territory would certainly provoke our response... we shall see what threats are created for us”.
