STUK.fi [www.stuk.fi] the Finish radiation emergency authority says that it can't yet explain the result, but that it may be an indication that something has happened. They are quick to add it's NOT believed the Cesium came from a nuclear reactor like the Leningrad nuclear plant [wikipedia.org].

The levels are 10 times higher in Helsinki then what they measured after the Fukushima disaster. However, the levels are just one millionth compared to when people would need to protect themselves. The winds [nullschool.net] were eastern and southeastern when the measurement was made in Finland.
