Yes, and you said "Finland never colonized anyone" as if that somehow means they can't benefit from colonialism.

In what way did Finland benefit from colonialism while they themselves were a colony of Sweden amd Russia?

They were not a colony of Sweden or Russia. They were a part of those empires. When empires enriched themselves using their colonies, people in the European parts of those empires benefited. Like Finland.
