Education
With CIA at Furman University
Stubb studied in the U.S. at the Furman University 1989-1993. Stubb's brother had been an exchange student in the family of the Furman professor Bill Lavery a well-known CIA employee [Citation Needed], specialized in Russian studies. In his memoirs Stubb explains how he ended up at Furman: "I ended up at Furman, because my brother was an exchange student in a family, where the father Bill Lavery was a professor of Russian history at Furman. I went to see Nixu and get acquainted with the school at the same time"[1] When studying there later, "At the dormitory, I shared a pitiful room with Nick Lavery", the son of Bill Lavery .
CIA recruitment officer "put her claws into him"
Stubb then studied at the College of Europe in Brugge. Stubb tells he got acquainted with an interesting American woman called Valerie Plame. Plame was later exposed as a CIA officer[2]. Her mission at the university, frequented by future leaders, was to do recruitment[3].
Stubb tell how "We made friends with Valerie in study groups, we took same courses. It seems Valerie liked that I had studied in the U.S." Relationship between Stubb and Plame was close. Plame told him she was "an American diplomat". According to Stubb, they maintained contact for years afterwards.[4] "We kept contact after our studies. Yearly she sent letters and postcards", Stubb writes. "When Emilie was born, Valerie sent a nice ceramic photo frame with the name and date of birth of the newborn", Stubb writes. He gives much credit to her employer:
In honor of the CIA, it can be said that it has good agents: immediately she put her claws into a guy who later became Finnish premier[5]
Condoleezza Rice
Later, as a minister, Stubb reported directly to Condoleezza Rice. According to Stubb, they talked on the telephone "as often as a teenage couple that just started dating", Stubb writes (page 139 of the memoirs). Rice even called him three times, while he was running a marathon, Stubb writes in his memoirs. Stubb also remembers to mention what beautiful legs Rice has.[6]
Shooting
In 2015, two young men attacked Stubb’s house in Finland at night while his family was sleeping by shooting at their window.[7] One of the men died before court.[8]
