I was thinking about these things myself. Why would a mammoth be up near Finland? But then I realised that that's where they lived! They were wooly mammoths, adapted for the colder climates. Finland is cold and snowy in some places, but not everywhere.
From Encarta:

Those that lived in cold climates had a shaggy covering of long, thick hair. These animals moved northward as the glaciers of the Ice Age receded.

This particular mammoth could well have still had its final meal preserved. Here's a hypothetical situation: the mammoth ate plants the day before, wondered into the snowy wastes and died. Snow covered him over and they he lay preserved for years. Hypothetical, but I think plausable.
Someone correct me if I'm mistaken somewhere.
