If he likes Russia so much, why didn't he just stay home?

Because war is cool until the others are winning. I guess.

Scandinavian stuff is like a magnet for nazi idiots. Vikings, runes, groups like Burzum (see Varg Vikernes), white majority in the country, nortern nature, isolation and safety to form clubs or even parties for them. It's like a Disneyland for him.

And after a while, when he was deported, he probably wanted to get back, as in his country nazism is controlled and only useful, submissive strays are safe to be. Becoming too influential or talking against the party line is a punishable offence. At least a couple of big neonazi\alt-right turds got suicided in recent decade for acting up, and I wasn't following them closely. If only it wasn't in history books.

Finland isn't Scandinavian but granted I wouldn't trust a Nazi to know that.

Fits because even Finnish Nazis don't seem to know it.
