Summary/Abstract: The series Lähivõrdlusi. Lähivertailuja (‘Close Comparisons’, LV) has again reached a milestone: in 2020, we celebrate the 35th anniversary of the first edited volume with this title, and the 30th LV volume is issued. Over the years, the series has become an important forum for Finno-Ugric applied linguistics. This volume contains reminiscences on the first years of “Close Comparisons”, by emeritus professor Heikki Paunonen and by one of the early activists of this cooperation, Dr. Hannu Remes.
