@@artiefakt4402 you guys never lived in a totalitarian dictatorship, you have no idea what it's like. It will be very interesting to see what you would be like if you "chose" your government like ours. Nobody votes for them, people protests but it gets quickly stamped on. You can't judge if you've never experienced it. I left Russia many years ago because no matter who vote for, nothing changes and the corruption is rotting the country to the core.
@@OlgasBritishFells Did I criticize those who are aware that they live in a dictatorship ? Or those who have had the courage (or the means) to leave their country ? Certainly not... But I laugh at those Russians convinced that their country is the greatest, that their leaders are competent, that the western world envies them and wants to steal their resources. Those people are unable to understand that things do not add up... but I think at some point, the reality is going to bite them right in the backside... like that 'patriot' who might have decided to go to the front, thinking his army would be well equipped with experienced commanders. He's in for a surprise when a KAMAZ will drop him 6 km from the front line after a few hours of military training and with a rusty gun.
@@OlgasBritishFells Good point. But how do we fix this ? Only russians can fix Russia. To close the border, is one way we neighbours can use to say, we do not like your behaviour. You created your own goverment. Only you can create a new goverment. Look to Iran.
Are they the ones who make money off tourists? Can you border cities with Russia that are already going bankrupt? By the way, what about the European right of movement in general? It seems that Europeans signed a declaration on the right of movement, didn't they?
@@ВалерийПономарев-к4х I checked some interviews earlier about this issue: many of those who are making money from tourism want the borders closed. Naturally, there are always some opportunists. With Free movement - if you are talking about EU politics - applies to the EU citizens. But if you talking that ideological movement, it is a group of people who would love to open the borders to everybody (even Russians know that is totally crazy and dangerous idea). And why would Russians even want to come to Finland now? They are basicly in war against the West. And if they do not agree with their OWN leaders, they should be protesting on the streets - specially in the big cities. (Remember, the revolutions start/happen in St.Petersburgh and Moscow, not in some poor rural areas.)
@@ВалерийПономарев-к4х Well, the most of the companies that lived out of Russian tourism are closed already due the covid. The very last ones that kept their hope alive through the covid are now or about to bankrupt. It's sad, but there are always risks in business.

I know it's hard for you to believe, but Putin is a human. And so was Hitler. There's no other intelligent species that could create a government for people, aliens are a myth. So, government is created by people, but not ordinarily ones. It's quite a special kind of person who wants to govern other people (for example, I would personally do everything I can to avoid governing even a small collective of people) and is willing to use unsavoury tactics to obtain and keep that power.

So yeah, Molotov Coctail is literally named after Russian foreign minister. Who knows, maybe Lavrov will get some form of weapon named after himself too.

@@MrGunnar69 a big difference is that they often cynically refer to ukrainians as brothers. A lot of Russians really are sincere and empathetic when referring to ukrainians as brothers. But these people in this video are horrible brothers and sisters to have.

And the Finns, together with Hitler, staged a blockade of Leningrad. This is a heinous war crime. Almost a million people died during the blockade, mostly civilians. Are we still holding grudges?
The people in USSR really believed that the people in the West were not as evil as the soviet propaganda portrayed them, and some naive Russians believe even today Russians can be friends with the Westerners. LOL! Crazy! What a sick world we are living in?
Falcony, if we would keep in our memory all the bad things, that our neighbours and especially the Russians have done to us, that would be an extra burden.

Who will give you the moral or any other right to determine who is more or less free? The fact that you have gay parades marching through the streets does not give you the right to talk about freedom. For many centuries, Russia has proved with its blood that it knows how to fight for freedom (these guys learned: King Gustav III, Hitler, Napoleon, etc.).About the freedom of the Ukrainians, he was directly pleased, until February the European media talked about corruption, restriction of freedom (how Zelensky closed the channels), how objectionable people were imprisoned.

Gay parade, anti government parade, pro government parade, your going to hell parade, whatever the hell you want parade, you can say what you want. Your morals and ideals are decided for you by your government because you either have to be silent or choose to believe it, stay silent long enough it eventually this just becomes a way of thought.

I'm not saying it is or it is not, or it is justified or not that's not the goal here
damn, as a Finn these answers have me conflicted and especially those few "jokes" of Finland becoming part of Russia made me somehow think of all those soldiers of ours, whom gave their life or health to protect this land....unbelievable how the people in Russia are so unaware
Don't take it to heart, I guess it was just dark humor, irony - Russian people have tendency for it, especially in difficult times and especially young people. Youth in Russia mostly understand what's really going on and doesn't approve the government's actions. They're mostly politically apathetic nowadays due to some objective reasons, but not aggressive or hostile, so dark humor is a kind of defense reaction.
It seems like a " cop out". As a way to not be involved with anything. Such a shame that many Russians relinquish their God given freedom so thoughtlessly.
Those "jokes" make me think it's very good you've decided to join NATO. I didn't really see the importance of NATO after the end of the Cold War. Now I see it. I also dislike that "joke" on your behalf now. As a Canadian, it's like them joking about taking us over, we will fight and bleed beside you to prevent it.
I love all people around the world. But I've never saw cold-hearted and indifferent people more than Russians. The lesson learned: you get as much as your intentions.
@@colgatelampinen2501 but in general you can feel indifference,arrogance from them. lack of honesty and integrity. I've survived alone in Russia as a foreign expat , by only having international friend. Couldn't get along with the locals even after 9 years. By the way I speak English. Russian. German. Arabic. French. I have really no hate toward them ,but my advice is ( it's time to change this useless selfish mentality and be open towards other people's and countries)
As a Finn, can I say this: I do not object to Russian people living in or visiting Finland. However the situation is this: there have been facilities related to the military industrial complex sabotaged in the EU. Russian entities have been buying up land and facilities next to critical infrastructure in Finland for decades (no worries, come a conflict, the Finnish government will confiscate all those properties). This is the reason why we cannot allow Russians into our country/the EU anymore. And let me be clear: we will never allow one single Russian soldier on our soil without invitation. And we or the Baltic countries will never be a part of Russia again. Why? Because we are not Russian. Anybody who thinks that the Finns are going to give up our 'happiest country on earth' system to be a part of Russia is a delusional idiot. But as said, our government has said that those with links to Finland will be granted visas. I wish you all the best.
As a Russian, I can say that I do not consider the closure of borders a betrayal. What is happening now is the fault of our government. Our government is a traitor to its people. I used to make plans that someday I would move to Finland, but now it won't happen.And I can't blame Finns for that
@@Whyamisohot19 Nuclear weapons, tactical or strategic, are not a weapon that armies can actually use, because it kills their troops too, not just the enemy. Radiation destroys any benefits thousand-fold that they bring to an acute need in combat. The Russians cannot even run their tanks through plains in Ukraine, but in Finland the terrain is completely different. It's filled with dead ends figuratively speaking. That is, the Finnish defence strategy is not to hold the line, but to invite the Russians into guerrilla war on Finnish soil. All our roads have rails that are designed to hold dynamite at all key points of transit in a difficult terrain. That is, what you know of warfare is pretty simplistic. Ask yourself why has Russia not occupied Georgia etc. by now?
@@samhartford8677 who said they have to even come to your territory? Just nuke you and wait the radiation out.

Like most of the comments here I say the same thing. These young people do not connect Finland closing their borders with the war. They don't know or care about the seriousness of this action, 'we weren't planning to go there it doesn't matter to me'. They will get a shock before long, something will affect them directly.
They just bury their heads in the sand. Most young people in the 21st century know how to use technology to find out what’s really happening. With those people on the video they just pretend not to understand. It’s easier that way. Acknowledging the truth puts them in a difficult position.
@@Chris-mf1rm I completely agree with that. Also, there is a very interesting Russian who has lived in the UK for years, he gives a perspective on how the Russians think. He says that the majority are depoliticized, meaning they leave it up to the government to do what they do because there is nothing they can do about it. We all know what happens to those who stand up and shout. So unless it affects the average person directly, they do and think nothing.

Rather, it has an indirect relationship. Many countries are involved in wars, but visa restrictions are only for russians. Even belarusian tourists are not banned from entering Finland now.

They talk about it like we closed the borders just for fun and don't want russian citizens to travel here on vacations or to see their relatives etc. I'm also a bit confused about "We've been friends for so long" 😅 You mean we've tolerated each other and now Finland just doesn't want to take any risks when Russia's out there attacking a neighbouring country for no good reason.
1:37 Interviewer: "...but it's the decision of the government, not the people." Interviewee: "But who creates the government? People themselves!" EXACTLY. People are responsible for the actions of their governments. When your country attacks another sovereign country, you are responsible. "Apolitical" or not, you are responsible. You are responsible to overthrow your government when it becomes tyrannical. When your friends and relatives are dying for the twisted dreams of a madman.
Just how can you overthrow the government when it suppresses any attempts at rallies? Unfortunately, people will not soon wake up from propaganda, and even if they try to make a revolution, the government will not care
@@papatango5085 sorry that you don't bothered to get your facts right! Finland was province under the Swedish Crown for many centuries. Sweden was at war with zar Russia. In the peace negotiations it was agreed, that Finland would be The Grand Duchy Finland. And the Russian zar would be the Grand Duke of Finland. Commencing 1803. But Finland would keep the same autonomy as under the Swedish Crown. The Finnish Parliament would still be in force. The legislation should continue as before. Unfortunately the zars of Russia tried to Russificate Finland. Didn't stick fully to the agreements regarding Finlands autonomy. Russia was still a country where part of the population were slaves. Until 1861. Serfdom = slavery was forbidden in Sweden and Finland already the year 1335. The russification was not popular in Finland. At the same time as the Russian revolution - a Civil War was taking place in Russia Finnish Socialist, the "Reds" wanted Finland to join the Russian revolution. But most Finns were not interested. Thus a Civil War started in Finland. That as so had nothing to do with the Russian revolution. The "Whites" wanted Finland to be an independent country. "We are not Swedes and will never be Russians. So let us be Finns". The Civil War was a hard time. But the "Whites" did win. And Finlands Parliament declared Finlands independence the 6th of December 1907. The Russian revolutionaries were fighting among themselves. And fighting against Russians that wished Russia to continue as a zar empire. The Bolscheviks that did win granted Finlands independence. There was a referendum where the Finnish people chose to become an independent democracy. Thus Finland became an independent democracy and a first president was elected. Finland started to build up and develope the country's economy. The 30th of November 1939 Stalin attacked Finland. Under the fictive excuse and pretense that Finland was a threat to Leningrad.... Actually Stalin wanted to take over Finland due to the nickel mines in the North of Finland. And due to Finlands Baltic Sea harbors and the Kola peninsula. I and others have written about the Finnish Winterwar 1939 - 1940. And the war with USSR June 1941 - September 1944. After 1944 Finland was at war with Germany. The German troops on Finnish soil were chased away. The final peace negotiations 1947.
Finland was never a friend of aggressors. You don't make friends by bullying people. You might force to do things for you even pretend to be friends but never will be friends in their hearts. You make true friends by kindness and seeing others as equals. By litteling them by calling them tiny and unimportant us not such ways.
@@ВалерийПономарев-к4х It started with Finland getting attacked 1939. There are tons of books on what happens before and after that. I read quite many of them and * cannot repeat what they say here.

Did it occur to you that the USSR was preparing for war and wanted to move the border away from the second largest city? You said "Finland was not friends with the aggressor." So what about the Nazis? Like any war, allowed the Finns to starve the Soviet people along with the Nazis. I mean, take part in genocide? And now you're trying to appear clean? Are you even healthy?
@@ВалерийПономарев-к4х Yes. Woodland for second largest city and quite populated area. Which country would think that would be a good deal? Wasn't friend with nazi before the war started. Not really 1941 either. No Finnish Jews were sent to death camps in Poland. It was only in Stalins twisted mind Finland were nazis. In wars all countries does bad things. So if wanting to starve Soviet people why didn't Finland go beyond Svir line and bombard Leningrad even if Nazis demanded it? Btw friends of Nazis heard Molotov and Ribbentrop pact? If you are healthy could you guess what would happened if Finland agreed to the switch of lands?

Well done. This only confirmed closing the borders was the only reasonable thing to do and I really hope they'll stay closed. The government really is like the people living in the county.
J-P Tarvainen, as a fellow Finn and I agree with You. When the three Baltic countries and Poland closed their borders from the Russian tourists, it was necessary for Finland to do the same thing. We had to show solidarity with other East-European EU countries. Naturally it has not been a pleasant thing to destroy this Russian tourism to Finland, because in 2019 the Russsians were the biggest foreign tourist group in Finland. We had great plans for them in the future and now we just had to berry those plans at least so long as this war in Ukraine will continue.
Oh, yes, interviewing several people and choosing the strangest answers really epitomizes the real state of affairs. And they also say that we have a lot of propaganda. Learn to think.
Does the government reflect the people living in the country? Then why are they all billionaires in the government, while the people live in poverty? Add here the 24/7 propaganda and the lack of fair and free elections. Going to Finland was expensive for most people before. Closing borders is not the best idea in the 21st century. By the way, how is Putin's friend, billionaire Timchenko, doing in Finland? He was stripped of your citizenship, huh?
Did you note the person saying "but Finland will be a part of RuSSia ". The sentiment obviously exist in RuSSia. Definitely a smart move to try joining NATO.
Tore Haaland, it is clear, that in Russia there are some people, who want all former Soviet parts and also Finland, Eastern Poland and North-Eastern Romania to be joined to Russia. But this goup with nationalitic nostalgy ideology is pretty small. The vast majority of the Russians have no negative thoughts about Finland, and so they are a bit confused, that Finland stopped the tourism from Russia.
@@vesakaitera2831 obviously it is enough people in that mindset to launch an invasion of Ukraine. And if RuSSian people are confused about why borders are closed, they need a solid dose of reality injected.

If any country, let alone many countries, would close their borders from people of my country to enter their country, I would take it as a serious failure of my country's foreign policy and I would start to demand the government to be changed. You could have asked them do they understand why the borders were closed.
This would require criticizing one's own government's actions. This simply isn't done in Russia. Which is why everything is going to hell in a handbasket. No one is ever responsible for anything.
@@henriikkak2091 Correction: it's the communist mindset. When nobody owns anything, no one will take responsibility. In a culture where ambitions are smothered and killed there is no future. That's the reason why the Russian army is crumbling as well, nobody cares, nobody wants to take responsibility.
Man, I realize that the political climate is such that it's very convenient to bring up all the dark moments from history, but let's remain reasonable.

Imagine what we humans could achieve if we would focus all the money and time on the problems that we face, not creating more problems and new ways to murder each other. 😞
85 percent of Finns want to stop issuing tourist visas to Russians until "Russia's war of aggression in Europe has ended". 4 percent are absolutely against ending the issuance of tourist visas. Ps. Transit of Russians through Finland to countries outside the Schengen area is possible with tourist visas that were issued before entry restrictions were imposed.
I am Russian, I agree with you. But unfortunately, in order for the majority of Russians to wake up, a catastrophe must occur in Russia, Russians must lose a lot, and loved ones, and to understand who all this is because of. There is no other way. Although the Russians are already starting to wake up.
"We´ve been friends for so long", I guess they have been friends all these years since Russia took 11% of Finlands territory, including their second largest city, and that Finland had to pay huge sums in reparations to the aggressor Russia.
@@maijukorkea-aho7841 if we are talking about this, then at that time the Russians and the Finns were definitely not friends - after the Finns attacked Russia several times in 1918-1920, trying to annex East Karelia and the Kola Peninsula. In 1939 they made the wrong choice - and ultimately lost, losing Vyborg forever. What is the point in 2021 talking about it? In Russia, no one dreams of returning Finland that once belonged to us, this is stupid.
@@verygoodcow I only pointed out that it was Viipuri, not the SPb, that was lost to Russia. And I agree that Finns and Russians were not friends back then. Disgusting discussion even to try create hatred towards each other by blaming people after all these years about the things that were done by people hundred years ago. Our histories have obviously been written differently, so no point on arguying who attacked and what is the truth. Only reasonable thing to do would be to get familiar with these different versions of history without judging who is correct, and by doing so understand each others better. I want to believe that Finns have no desires to have war with Russia or take back the lands that were lost during the wars. The current situation is just sad, and I found it really scary to read all these provocative comments...
As a Frenchman, i think the Russian people ( in the interview) are very relaxed, and easy going about what's going on despite the facts that: . All the West is closing, Russia is becoming a pariah country ; an Iron Curtain is on his way for the next décades; Russia lose 65 000 soldiers in less than one year , and counting; a major war is thriving in Ukrain; the totalitarian USSR is coming back : and they take it casually, " neutrally"...." Non Political" " Non political":: i'v learn this word and concept with the russian people only. Incomprehensible🤨 but also fascinating: in France we use to talk and critic, casually, about policies and politics litteraly before becoming teens....
There is a Russian saying: _Nasilno mil ne budesh_ (love can't be forced), which explains their attitude. As always, it is not Russians who down the Iron Curtain
@@olbrue Thanks for the sentence 👍 I used to think that the Russian society was ready for démocracy and political awaraness but i have changed my mind since the Invasion, and the new insights on civil society. It's not all about Putin and his cronies unfortunately....the problem goes far deeper....Putin is the embodiment of the opinions of many of his fellow citizens ( I should say " His subjects")
@@pierrekiroule2827 What Russian en masse have to think? Putin states - we have to strike beforehand because they will definitely assault soon. The "West" responds with such an absurd level of Russophobia, actions which violate all solemn principles of Western society - non-discrimination, private property, supremacy of law, so the only conclusion that may be made by a Russian - there is no law for Russians in the West, its actions are hatred-driven and hostile. Putin is a rather cautious man and he tried his best to achieve amicable settlement but there was no interest on the Western end. Mostly because the West does not care for Ukrainians but for its own supremacy
Main problem is that after mobilization started in Russia there has been tens of thousands russians coming to Finland claiming asylum. Next problem is that many russians that came to Finland are young men. And many of those men started buying knives and boots as soon as they got here. Just a few concerns.
2:11 LMAO good luck with that. Getting humiliated twice within century by small nation would not look good on resume. Plus I don't think Finnish forests need another layer of buried Russians in them.
Finnland fought several times against Russia and lost every time! Finnland lost the winter war too! Finnland lost 11% of it's territory in the winter war and was forced to capitulate to the soviet union! Does that sound like Finnland won the winter war? I don't think so! If Russia and Finnland go to war again there might not be anything left of Finnland next time! The Finns are finished fools because every time they fall for a war with Russia they loose more and more territory and they still don't learn their lesson! Russia gave Finnland their independence and the soviet union let them go from the russian empire but the Finns are so ungrateful that they always alie with the enemies of Russia even with nazi scum, yet since their independence every time they go to war with Russia they inevitably lose every time! So yes it's very possible for Russia to reconquer Finnland!
@@Melsedey855 Even when attacking unprovoked with an invasion force several times larger than what Finland had, Russia was unable to establish occupation. A monumental military failure which Russia is now about to repeat against Ukraine. Though Ukraine has much larger population than Finland, they are still smaller than Russia and still humiliating them. It seems Russia has not learned anything. You speak of the possibility of taking over Finland, but you forgot that to do so, Russia would need an army. There's not going to be much of it left once Ukraine is done with them. It's quite embarrassing when you start wars against smaller nations and still fail. Maybe just call it quits at that point.
@@ruojautuma1 from the beginning of the special military operation there were 4-5 less russian troops than there were and currently are Ukrainian troops and even with such a ratio the russians were able to occupy a fifth of Ukraine and inflict heavy damage on Ukrainian troops! The number of Ukrainian troops dying in this war is more than 10 times the number of russians! Yet there is four or five times fewer russians! For Ukraine such a loss of troops is unsustainable! Especially against an army that is several times smaller! And let's not forget that nato is helping Ukraine with money, weapons and most importantly nato mercenaries! And nato mercenaries are being slaughtered by the russians in this war too!
@@Melsedey855 You might want to check your numbers from sources other than Kremlin propaganda.. What are you doing on youtube anyway? Shouldn't you be preparing to move to your designated mobilization center? Your country needs you! Your professional army was already defeated and now they need more cannon fodder. Just another sign that everything is going well and all according to the plan amirite? Russia is so desperate the only thing they got going now is bombing civilians and other such terrorist tactics. Buying weapons from fellow terrorist nations like Iran since their own production can't keep up. All that while their people back home are living in poverty and misery amidst crumbling soviet era infrastructure. Failure to reform and modernize after collapse of soviet union is gradually turning Russia to another North Korea. Isolated rogue nation which nobody takes seriously.
As a finn, I've always felt neutral about Russia. I know history, but I think it's important that we have good relations with all our neighbouring countries in the present. You can't judge all citizens by what their leaders do, and in certain countries the citizens don't have much say in it either. The sanctions have always hurt us more than they hurt Russia. They've got all they need over there but we've lost business partners over these sanctions. Finland has always been pretty eager to hop into every single decision EU makes, while we were doing a whole lot better before joining the EU. The most ridiculous thing that our government has come up with lately is building a fence on the border. Remember who we used to laugh at when they were planning on building a wall?
I will surprise you, but 75-80% vote for Putin, support the government, and the EU bureaucrats decide for you, for whom you did not even vote.Who has democracy?

Таким образом всем русским приходится ответить за преступления Путина и каждый русский виноват в зверствах русской армии на Украине. Для этого границы закрыты. Мы не хотим пускать военных преступников в нашу страну. Вот тебе бабушка Юрьев день!

No wonder they seem so turned off or detached..
When some asked about Finland closing their border, they said that Finland will soon be part of Russia., and yet they wonder why the border is closed?!
I can attest as an italian who's never been to Finland or met any Finns that NO, finns don't see russians as friends, never have, Russia took everything it could from Finland and payed dearly doing so. Finns defended their country from Russia and even when neutral maintained a huge garrison for defense against Russia. Any finn feel free to correct me.

You can't judge if you've never experienced it. I left Russia many years ago because no matter who vote for, nothing changes and the corruption is rotting the country to the core.
@@OlgasBritishFells Did I criticize those who are aware that they live in a dictatorship ? Or those who have had the courage (or the means) to leave their country ? Certainly not...
But I laugh at those Russians convinced that their country is the greatest, that their leaders are competent, that the western world envies them and wants to steal their resources.
Those people are unable to understand that things do not add up... but I think at some point, the reality is going to bite them right in the backside... like that 'patriot' who might have decided to go to the front, thinking his army would be well equipped with experienced commanders. He's in for a surprise when a KAMAZ will drop him 6 km from the front line after a few hours of military training and with a rusty gun.
@@OlgasBritishFells Good point. But how do we fix this ? Only russians can fix Russia. To close the border, is one way we neighbours can use to say, we do not like your behaviour. You created your own goverment. Only you can create a new goverment. Look to Iran.

@@ВалерийПономарев-к4х I checked some interviews earlier about this issue: many of those who are making money from tourism want the borders closed. Naturally, there are always some opportunists. With Free movement - if you are talking about EU politics - applies to the EU citizens. But if you talking that ideological movement, it is a group of people who would love to open the borders to everybody (even Russians know that is totally crazy and dangerous idea).
And why would Russians even want to come to Finland now? They are basicly in war against the West. And if they do not agree with their OWN leaders, they should be protesting on the streets - specially in the big cities. (Remember, the revolutions start/happen in St.Petersburgh and Moscow, not in some poor rural areas.)

I know it's hard for you to believe, but Putin is a human. And so was Hitler. There's no other intelligent species that could create a government for people, aliens are a myth.
So, government is created by people, but not ordinarily ones. It's quite a special kind of person who wants to govern other people (for example, I would personally do everything I can to avoid governing even a small collective of people) and is willing to use unsavoury tactics to obtain and keep that power.

Don't take it to heart, I guess it was just dark humor, irony - Russian people have tendency for it, especially in difficult times and especially young people. Youth in Russia mostly understand what's really going on and doesn't approve the government's actions. They're mostly politically apathetic nowadays due to some objective reasons, but not aggressive or hostile, so dark humor is a kind of defense reaction.

1:37 - "but who creates the government? People themselves" Oof, yah, that door swings both ways, Auntie.
Lol 🎯
As a Finn, can I say this: I do not object to Russian people living in or visiting Finland.
However the situation is this: there have been facilities related to the military industrial complex sabotaged in the EU. Russian entities have been buying up land and facilities next to critical infrastructure in Finland for decades (no worries, come a conflict, the Finnish government will confiscate all those properties). This is the reason why we cannot allow Russians into our country/the EU anymore.
And let me be clear: we will never allow one single Russian soldier on our soil without invitation. And we or the Baltic countries will never be a part of Russia again. Why? Because we are not Russian. Anybody who thinks that the Finns are going to give up our 'happiest country on earth' system to be a part of Russia is a delusional idiot.
But as said, our government has said that those with links to Finland will be granted visas. I wish you all the best.
As a Russian, I can say that I do not consider the closure of borders a betrayal. What is happening now is the fault of our government. Our government is a traitor to its people. I used to make plans that someday I would move to Finland, but now it won't happen.And I can't blame Finns for that

@@Whyamisohot19 Nuclear weapons, tactical or strategic, are not a weapon that armies can actually use, because it kills their troops too, not just the enemy. Radiation destroys any benefits thousand-fold that they bring to an acute need in combat.
The Russians cannot even run their tanks through plains in Ukraine, but in Finland the terrain is completely different. It's filled with dead ends figuratively speaking. That is, the Finnish defence strategy is not to hold the line, but to invite the Russians into guerrilla war on Finnish soil. All our roads have rails that are designed to hold dynamite at all key points of transit in a difficult terrain.
That is, what you know of warfare is pretty simplistic. Ask yourself why has Russia not occupied Georgia etc. by now?
@@samhartford8677 who said they have to even come to your territory? Just nuke you and wait the radiation out. I’m not even Russian mate, but don’t cope like that, just because of Ukraine war, I’m pretty sure everyone knows Russia is not trying, if the Soviet Union which was the us equal really wanted to send everything they had at Finland they could’ve taken it easily, they used minimal effort and deemed it not worth it, if it was worth it they would’ve taken it pretty quickly, don’t forget their the same ones who got to Berlin first and killed most of the nazis, if you weren’t so fucking arrogant, we wouldn’t even need to argue this mate, if you can’t even match or close to match the us in influence or military why do you think you would’ve been successful in defending the Soviet Union, especially if they would’ve really wanted to take your land, remember the British ended leaving many of their owned countries abroad’s, doesn’t mean those countries could beat the uk, it was a matter of ‘not worth it’.

You didn t know the White war between Finland and Russia ? Finland was à part offrir Russia in the part.
@@papatango5085 sorry that you don't bothered to get your facts right!
Finland was province under the Swedish Crown for many centuries. Sweden was at war with zar Russia. In the peace negotiations it was agreed, that Finland would be The Grand Duchy Finland. And the Russian zar would be the Grand Duke of Finland. Commencing 1803.
But Finland would keep the same autonomy as under the Swedish Crown. The Finnish Parliament would still be in force. The legislation should continue as before.
Unfortunately the zars of Russia tried to Russificate Finland. Didn't stick fully to the agreements regarding Finlands autonomy.
Russia was still a country where part of the population were slaves. Until 1861.
Serfdom = slavery was forbidden in Sweden and Finland already the year 1335.
The russification was not popular in Finland.
At the same time as the Russian revolution - a Civil War was taking place in Russia Finnish Socialist, the "Reds" wanted Finland to join the Russian revolution.
But most Finns were not interested. Thus a Civil War started in Finland. That as so had nothing to do with the Russian revolution. The "Whites" wanted Finland to be an independent country. "We are not Swedes and will never be Russians. So let us be Finns".
The Civil War was a hard time. But the "Whites" did win. And Finlands Parliament declared Finlands independence the 6th of December 1907.
The Russian revolutionaries were fighting among themselves. And fighting against Russians that wished Russia to continue as a zar empire. The Bolscheviks that did win granted Finlands independence. There was a referendum where the Finnish people chose to become an independent democracy.
Thus Finland became an independent democracy and a first president was elected.
Finland started to build up and develope the country's economy.
The 30th of November 1939 Stalin attacked Finland. Under the fictive excuse and pretense that Finland was a threat to Leningrad.... Actually Stalin wanted to take over Finland due to the nickel mines in the North of Finland. And due to Finlands Baltic Sea harbors and the Kola peninsula.
I and others have written about the Finnish Winterwar 1939 - 1940. And the war with USSR June 1941 - September 1944. After 1944 Finland was at war with Germany. The German troops on Finnish soil were chased away.
The final peace negotiations 1947.
And it's a young woman saying that. Scary
Finland was never a friend of aggressors. You don't make friends by bullying people. You might force to do things for you even pretend to be friends but never will be friends in their hearts. You make true friends by kindness and seeing others as equals. By litteling them by calling them tiny and unimportant us not such ways.
Remind me again what the Finns did during World War II? Or don't they teach you more than basic grammar in the West?
@@ВалерийПономарев-к4х It started with Finland getting attacked 1939. There are tons of books on what happens before and after that. I read quite many of them and * cannot repeat what they say here. Perhaps you only read the one from Soviet school saying Finland attacked in Mainila. Btw my mothers family is from Karelian Isthmus and she was born in a refugee camp summer of 1940.
@@mikatimonen5449 Have you been told in these "scholarly writings" that the USSR was offering more territory to be exchanged for Karelia? Did it occur to you that the USSR was preparing for war and wanted to move the border away from the second largest city? You said "Finland was not friends with the aggressor." So what about the Nazis? Like any war, allowed the Finns to starve the Soviet people along with the Nazis. I mean, take part in genocide? And now you're trying to appear clean? Are you even healthy?
@@ВалерийПономарев-к4х Yes. Woodland for second largest city and quite populated area. Which country would think that would be a good deal? Wasn't friend with nazi before the war started. Not really 1941 either. No Finnish Jews were sent to death camps in Poland. It was only in Stalins twisted mind Finland were nazis.
In wars all countries does bad things. So if wanting to starve Soviet people why didn't Finland go beyond Svir line and bombard Leningrad even if Nazis demanded it?
Btw friends of Nazis heard Molotov and Ribbentrop pact?
If you are healthy could you guess what would happened if Finland agreed to the switch of lands? Think Red Army behind Mannerheim line without any losses and Finland was wide open to be liberated from facsists and capitalist. Just taking back what once yours. Wouldn't it itch in your hands if you were Stalin?

Well done. This only confirmed closing the borders was the only reasonable thing to do and I really hope they'll stay closed. The government really is like the people living in the county.
J-P Tarvainen, as a fellow Finn and I agree with You. When the three Baltic countries and Poland closed their borders from the Russian tourists, it was necessary for Finland to do the same thing. We had to show solidarity with other East-European EU countries. Naturally it has not been a pleasant thing to destroy this Russian tourism to Finland, because in 2019 the Russsians were the biggest foreign tourist group in Finland. We had great plans for them in the future and now we just had to berry those plans at least so long as this war in Ukraine will continue.
Oh, yes, interviewing several people and choosing the strangest answers really epitomizes the real state of affairs. And they also say that we have a lot of propaganda. Learn to think.
Does the government reflect the people living in the country? Then why are they all billionaires in the government, while the people live in poverty? Add here the 24/7 propaganda and the lack of fair and free elections.
Going to Finland was expensive for most people before.
Closing borders is not the best idea in the 21st century.

Excacactly that "joke" is why NATO got so many members the moment RuSSia lost its grip over them. The same joke is behind the war in ukraine. I am not sure that i appreciate RuSSian jokes.
If any country, let alone many countries, would close their borders from people of my country to enter their country, I would take it as a serious failure of my country's foreign policy and I would start to demand the government to be changed. You could have asked them do they understand why the borders were closed.

All the West is closing, Russia is becoming a pariah country ; an Iron Curtain is on his way for the next décades; Russia lose 65 000 soldiers in less than one year , and counting; a major war is thriving in Ukrain; the totalitarian USSR is coming back : and they take it casually, " neutrally"...." Non Political" " Non political":: i'v learn this word and concept with the russian people only.
Incomprehensible🤨 but also fascinating: in France we use to talk and critic, casually, about policies and politics litteraly before becoming teens....
There is a Russian saying: _Nasilno mil ne budesh_ (love can't be forced), which explains their attitude. As always, it is not Russians who down the Iron Curtain
@@olbrue Thanks for the sentence 👍 I used to think that the Russian society was ready for démocracy and political awaraness but i have changed my mind since the Invasion, and the new insights on civil society. It's not all about Putin and his cronies unfortunately....the problem goes far deeper....Putin is the embodiment of the opinions of many of his fellow citizens ( I should say " His subjects")
@@olbrue Aarhh, thas not true, this entire crisis is solely Russias fault.
> USSR is coming back
Gee, we wish
@@pierrekiroule2827 What Russian en masse have to think? Putin states - we have to strike beforehand because they will definitely assault soon. The "West" responds with such an absurd level of Russophobia, actions which violate all solemn principles of Western society - non-discrimination, private property, supremacy of law, so the only conclusion that may be made by a Russian - there is no law for Russians in the West, its actions are hatred-driven and hostile. Putin is a rather cautious man and he tried his best to achieve amicable settlement but there was no interest on the Western end. Mostly because the West does not care for Ukrainians but for its own supremacy
It's better for them to stay where they are.

Russia should be invaded for a change to teach them some humility.
hahaha.What's your name Napoleon? Hitler? Well, try, but I'll give you some advice, it's better to attack in the summer

Like frogs in slowly boiling water. Pathetic. Iranians see finally waking up. But Russians, so slow, going backwards so fast. Not impressive.
You have sawdust in your head. The whole East and the whole Asia are against the USA and the EU.
@Richard Schiffman Its not easy.

Main problem is that after mobilization started in Russia there has been tens of thousands russians coming to Finland claiming asylum. Next problem is that many russians that came to Finland are young men. And many of those men started buying knives and boots as soon as they got here. Just a few concerns.
Лучше всего стать пушечным мясом, чтобы диктатор купил еще одну яхту👍
2:11 LMAO good luck with that. Getting humiliated twice within century by small nation would not look good on resume. Plus I don't think Finnish forests need another layer of buried Russians in them.
Finnland fought several times against Russia and lost every time! Finnland lost the winter war too! Finnland lost 11% of it's territory in the winter war and was forced to capitulate to the soviet union! Does that sound like Finnland won the winter war? I don't think so! If Russia and Finnland go to war again there might not be anything left of Finnland next time! The Finns are finished fools because every time they fall for a war with Russia they loose more and more territory and they still don't learn their lesson! Russia gave Finnland their independence and the soviet union let them go from the russian empire but the Finns are so ungrateful that they always alie with the enemies of Russia even with nazi scum, yet since their independence every time they go to war with Russia they inevitably lose every time! So yes it's very possible for Russia to reconquer Finnland!
@@Melsedey855 Even when attacking unprovoked with an invasion force several times larger than what Finland had, Russia was unable to establish occupation. A monumental military failure which Russia is now about to repeat against Ukraine. Though Ukraine has much larger population than Finland, they are still smaller than Russia and still humiliating them. It seems Russia has not learned anything. You speak of the possibility of taking over Finland, but you forgot that to do so, Russia would need an army. There's not going to be much of it left once Ukraine is done with them. It's quite embarrassing when you start wars against smaller nations and still fail. Maybe just call it quits at that point.
@@ruojautuma1 from the beginning of the special military operation there were 4-5 less russian troops than there were and currently are Ukrainian troops and even with such a ratio the russians were able to occupy a fifth of Ukraine and inflict heavy damage on Ukrainian troops! The number of Ukrainian troops dying in this war is more than 10 times the number of russians! Yet there is four or five times fewer russians! For Ukraine such a loss of troops is unsustainable! Especially against an army that is several times smaller! And let's not forget that nato is helping Ukraine with money, weapons and most importantly nato mercenaries! And nato mercenaries are being slaughtered by the russians in this war too!
@@Melsedey855 You might want to check your numbers from sources other than Kremlin propaganda.. What are you doing on youtube anyway? Shouldn't you be preparing to move to your designated mobilization center? Your country needs you! Your professional army was already defeated and now they need more cannon fodder. Just another sign that everything is going well and all according to the plan amirite?
Russia is so desperate the only thing they got going now is bombing civilians and other such terrorist tactics. Buying weapons from fellow terrorist nations like Iran since their own production can't keep up. All that while their people back home are living in poverty and misery amidst crumbling soviet era infrastructure. Failure to reform and modernize after collapse of soviet union is gradually turning Russia to another North Korea. Isolated rogue nation which nobody takes seriously.
@@Melsedey855 "NATO mercenaries"... The only mercenaries fighting on Ukrainian soil are to my knowledge the Wagner group.
As a finn, I've always felt neutral about Russia. I know history, but I think it's important that we have good relations with all our neighbouring countries in the present.
You can't judge all citizens by what their leaders do, and in certain countries the citizens don't have much say in it either.
The sanctions have always hurt us more than they hurt Russia. They've got all they need over there but we've lost business partners over these sanctions. Finland has always been pretty eager to hop into every single decision EU makes, while we were doing a whole lot better before joining the EU.
The most ridiculous thing that our government has come up with lately is building a fence on the border. Remember who we used to laugh at when they were planning on building a wall?
Sad that young russians don't want to visit their grandparents that lay 6 feet deep in Finnish soil.
А зачем ? Большинство из них вывезены и похоронены. И не в финской земле, а в русской.
"But Finland Will Be A part Of Russia Soon" Ayo Wtf imma go Conscript Now💀
XD
Interesting how a Russian woman says it’s the people that choose their government!!!
Finland should have closed the border long ago...
I think that lady who said "Who creates the government" is missing the elephant in the room!
Self-reflection. Some of these people should really do that.
"Finland will be part of Russia".
Deep, insightfull self-reflection.
"Finland will become a part of Russia" Hahaha joke of the year😂😂😂 Please try, then we finally have a good reason to take Karelia back.
Lol 🤣
Did she just say the people create the government? In Russia?
I will surprise you, but 75-80% vote for Putin, support the government, and the EU bureaucrats decide for you, for whom you did not even vote.Who has democracy?
Мозг людей её возраста промыт)
@@ИгорьЖильцов-д8х Is it part of democracy to abolish and silence the opposition like in Russia?
We dont miss Russians better they stay they side now and for aver!!!!
Sorry for those people in interview, I don't want other to think that all the Russians are the same
Ну мы по вам тоже как-то не скучаем)

Calm down, no one remembers about you at all. Except that a few.. Few people really like you.

"it's not the people it's the government , right?
"but who elects the government, the people right?".
so..... you are telling me that the entire world should hate on all Russians because you elected the man who's causing all of this? can't she see the fallacy of her theory?
Many of the rest of the world already hate Russians, with the justification exactly like you say, so you are more correct than you think you are.
@@TranscenGopher i doubt that many people hate on regular Russians because of the government. But the ones in this interview surely are infuriating.
@@sasharama5485 Eventually they would hate Russians. Like the video when a man said to a Russian with "z" sticker on a truck. Sticker now Tanks tomorrow.
@@sasharama5485 I'm not saying people hate on Russians because of the government. There's a media campaign to get angry clicks from people that makes everyone hate the ordinary Russians.
@@phatrix123 i hope someday they'll wake up and see that all this hate is exactly what their leader wants to keep them back and isolate Russia from the free world.
Funny how people comparing Finland and Russia with “People choose their own government”. Comparing Democracy to dictatorship… 😂😂😂 Cattle…
Russia, China, North Korea, Nicaragua, Cuba Venezuela are the most saddest places to live. Even more than most of african countries
You should visit China maybe.... I have been there 3X (2013 the latest). Cuba? many Canadians go on vacations there.
То, что меня , как финна, сильно удивляет это тот факт, что эти люди, значит, русские сами избрали Путина в президенты и их президент начал войну против соседней страны Украины. Таким образом всем русским приходится ответить за преступления Путина и каждый русский виноват в зверствах русской армии на Украине. Для этого границы закрыты. Мы не хотим пускать военных преступников в нашу страну. Вот тебе бабушка Юрьев день!
Чел, никто и никогда не избирал Путина. Он сам себя назначал президентом последние 15 лет. Здесь нет честных выборов как в Европе, странной правят сливки общества ( миллионеры), которые уже давно получили гражданство в Европе. И спокойно живут и наслаждаются всеми благами и по сей день, лучше бы вы вводили санкции против таких людей, которые имеют прямое отношение к власти. А не против обычных русских, большая часть которых никогда и не была за пределами России
@@nicecoocky Уважаемый сударь, не надо никаких объяснений. Русский народ избрал психопата Путина в президенты и таким образом несёт ответственность коллективно за его преступления. А когда мы увидим массовые демонстрации на улицах и когда бунт? Пока Путин сидит в Кремле, ты сидишь на диване за чашкой чая и зверства на Украине продолжаются и ты военный преступник и входа в свободный и демократический мир нет.
@@adolfhuovinen2848 тебе ясно сказали, что народ не избрал Путина и не будет избирать в следующие сроки
@@adolfhuovinen2848 далеко Запад ушёл от фашистов, разделяя нации на "военных преступников" и тех, что принадлежат к "демократическому миру"? Россия сейчас - отвратительный монстр, действия которого заслуживают осуждения. Только и Россия, и Запад занимаются стигматизацией, натравливая людей друг на друга. И Запад в этом отношении не ушёл дальше России, оправдывая своё расчеловечивание принадлежностью к "демократическому и свободному миру", в котором "варварам" делать нечего. В страшные времена мы живём.
@@Alishka_Calm А странно, по финскому ТВ показывали, как люди сходили в избирательные участки и голосовали. Кто эти люди были? Не русские? Можно сделать один и единственный вывод: русский народ захотел Путина и избрал его в президенты. А как вы реагировали и реагируете? Сидите спокойно на диване и пьёте чай с малиной? Или выходите на улицы на демонстрации?
It's so sad, that people from Moscow are called "Russian". Although it is capital, the real Russia is not in there. I live in Udmurtia, and I was hurt to hear what people were saying in this video. I wish they asked me, but I'm not in Moscow
what a depressing state of affairs , in 2022, the youth of a big european country is either apolitical, doesnt care, doesnt want to answer , doesnt know, gives in to dumb patriotism of oh yeah i dont care we are better , or more shockingly some of them even proudly or normally say they have never even lived or visited another country :O ... when most of europes youth for the past decades has traveled and done erasmus , or interrail, or worked and done volunteer work, or internships in many countries, the russians just... dont. No wonder they seem so turned off or detached..
When some asked about Finland closing their border, they said that Finland will soon be part of Russia., and yet they wonder why the border is closed?!
These people believe that Russia and Finland were friends????
I think that ordinary people are still friends
I can attest as an italian who's never been to Finland or met any Finns that NO, finns don't see russians as friends, never have, Russia took everything it could from Finland and payed dearly doing so. Finns defended their country from Russia and even when neutral maintained a huge garrison for defense against Russia.
Any finn feel free to correct me.
We have here in Finland couple of hundred thousands russians already. 6 feet under. Listen to your maniac dictator and we make.more space for next ones...
What a bunch of zombies. Maybe they will take an interest in politics when the body bags start arriving.
Already happening.
No reaction. No pulse.
You can see a clear difference how the old & the young respond to the question.
Yeah
2:11 i got triggered
Self-confrimation why closing borders is a sane safety-measure.
Same. The absolute gall. Their boyfriends will come home in bodybags if they try. The whole video reeks of russian entitlement, propagandized zombies, delusion and sticking their heads in the sand like ostriches.
I got triggered too. Making jokes about invading Finland while killing and raping the people of Ukraine? WTF? Vittumitäpaskaa!
she's been sarcastic
@@AlexiCult You don't think it's a bit tone deaf to joke about that under the circumstances?
And since I cannot be sure whether you know what the situation is, here's a short recap:
150,000 soldiers dead in Ukraine. An entire city leveled down. Untold number of civilian casualties.
Does that make you feel anything? No?
