Historical evidence supports the claim that Poland experienced much more severe and rapid Russification and structural dismantling than Finland, particularly following Poland's failed nineteenth-century uprisings.

The analysis

Papers [3], [4], and [6] collectively outline the aggressive structural dismantling, abolition of local institutions, and complete administrative integration (such as renaming Poland the Vistula Country) that followed the January Uprising. While Finland also experienced periods of increased centralization and restrictions on autonomy (such as the 1890 Manifesto), its baseline autonomous status and legal traditions were preserved far more robustly than those of Poland, which was heavily punished with direct bureaucratic takeover and depolonization. Thus, the comparative claim is well-supported by the historical literature provided.
