Finn here. This was really nice and heartwarming. I know plenty of Russians who are such nice people. Few months ago I was graduating from my university and I met a fellow student from Russia. It was awkward at first but she was super nice, beautiful as heck and smart fellow engineering student like myself. I didn't want to harass her too much so I did not ask her number, but I kind of wish I did. My father died February 2022, but back when he was healthy, he travelled to Russia many times. He had even found a letter-friend Russian family during his travels and they send each other gifts all the time. When I learnt to speak, read and write some Russian, reading trough the letters the genuine warmth and friendship they had was heartwarming to read about. I still wonder how the family is doing all these years since then. The best I can wish for is for the world to find peace and move on from the past. Let's make a better tomorrow for all of us. Not as adversaries and distrust in our hearts, but as humans with shared interest in shared prosperity for all us around the globe.

As a Russian who grew up in Murmansk, city next to the borders of Finland and Norway, I really love these countries. My father was a sailor and worked quite often with the Norwegians, often visited Tromsø. He always spoke well of them both as persons and as professionals. As a child, I also visited Norway and Finland. It seems that at that time there was some kind of simplified visa regime for Murmansk residents and riding there regularly was not a problem. In Finland, we have been to Saariselka, Rovaniemi, Oulu and Helsinki. I remember especially well the trips to Rovaniemi and Helsinki. Rovaniemi gave the impression of a nice small town, somewhat similar to my hometown Murmansk but smaller, much more well-maintained and without a port. We went there during Christmas season and obviously visited the residence of Joulupukki, there really was a festive atmosphere and everyone around seemed very friendly. Yeah, I know that it is their job to be friendly with tourists, but dunno, it seemed sincere. It also seems that it was the then when I tasted pipparkakur for the first time. Since then, every New year and Christmas, we went to the Finnish goods store and bought these cookies. Over time, I began to notice that this has become a kind of tradition not only in our family but also in the families of my many friends. A lot of people from my circle generally fell in love with all sorts of sweet and not-so-sweet things from Finland/Norway, like salmiakki, Marabou and Fazer chocolates, Sørlandsis ice cream. All of it was much tastier than Russian analogues. Helsinki reminded me of St. Petersburg with its architecture, but with completely different mood. Helsinki is not a boring place as many think. It's just more for vibes, not for parties, for me at least. Like walking around in a some cloudy day in October, visiting churches, libraries, embankments, chilling with a cup of coffee. In Norway I've been to Kirkeness and Tromsø. The people there were really chill and friendly. The centre of Tromsø, the Arctic Cathedral, the montains, the see, hot-dogs and sandwiches in Circle-K, all of these is something beautiful. Hope one day I'll get to Ålesund and Oslo. Also, my school cooperated with school in Tromsø so we often hosted guests from Norway, had some events tied to Norway and every year in March students from Tromsø came for a week to our school and our students went to Tromsø. You could choose to learn Norwegian from 7th till 9th grade. We even had additional Russian-Norwegian 12th grade where kids from both countries studied together. My friend moved to Oslo after 12th grade and now studies at the uni there. It was a common practice before the war as I know. It hurts me that today all of those ties are being torn. I love these countries and I want our peoples to be friends and partners. So sending love and wishing peace to all my nordic bros, you guys are great upd : could anybody recommend some Finnish/Norwegian music???

I'm going to use my 'as a Finn' card to comment your sober and touching lament that you've written in exceptionally good English. After all, Finland and Norway both invested a lot of taxpayers' money in the bilateral development starting in the 1990's, from sewage treatment in St. Petersburg to school supplies in Karelia and Kola. Even food and clothing were supplied to locals in distress. There were new exchange programmes and all kinds of grassroot-level facilitation, and the target was to create the cultural and economic ties between people, companies and local administrations, some of which you described having experienced first-hand. Come to this day, Russia has permanently closed the Finnish consulates in Murmansk and Petroskoi, closed the ties between local administrations, confiscated Finnish-owned companies and even demolished some of the Finnish war memorials, in the nationalistic hubris of rewriting history and turning Finland into an enemy in the new narrative. These developments will evidently start to show in street interviews too, as time passes. So, don't lose your good memories, fight against the tide.

Olen myös kiinnostunut Venäjästä, varsinkin sen historiasta, venäjän kielestä, venäläisistä, maantieteestä, venäläisestä musiikista ja kulttuurista. Se on minun toiseksi lempimaa Suomen jälkeen. Muut lempimaat ovat Valko-Venäjä (valkovenäjän kielen takia, jota osaan hyvin vähän), Ukraina (ukrainan kieli, jota osaan viidenneksi eniten) ja Yhdysvallat (niillä on parhaat elokuvat ja pelit).

Funny thing about languages. I took a year of Russian in high school back in California nearly sixty years ago, and Russians invariably praise my Russian, which is obviously anything but fluent. Many people do not notice from my Finnish that I am a foreigner, but whenever a Finn wants to offend me, he starts in on my Finnish speech. In the public sauna once a man was bragging about the Finnish school system. I remarked that part of the success might come from the pupils, who are calmer than in other countries and are more likely to hear what the teacher is saying. It turned out he was a teacher and that remark offended him. So he said, "You think you speak Finnish so well, but I can say that just because you have a big vocabulary, pronounce it well, and do not make grammar mistakes, does not mean you speak Finnish well." I do not know where he got the idea I thought I spoke Finnish well. On the other hand, I do not understand his criteria for judging what fluent speech is. But you are right. It is never too late to learn Russian better.

Its interesting to me as I live near the border, many Russians live in my town permanently, even my landlord is a Russian guy and I have friends there. Tourism was a big deal here before covid and then the war fucked it all up and what people in the video are saying is perfectly reflecting the attitude I've seen and heard in real life. Russians love Finland and for a good reason too, I've visited Russia and the contrast is like night and day with so many things. One girl in Viipuri once asked me "Don't you realise you live in paradise on earth?" She also told me she would love to move to Finland but she can't currently afford it. Living standard absolute is like paradise compared a whole lot of Russia so she was correct. And safety. This video was really nice to watch, made me smile a whole lot. ^_^

There really is a lot more hope for the younger Russians. Most older Russians seem to be loyal Putin supporters, even if it means sending their sons to the death. It seems possibly half of the young Russians are more willing to see the mess that Putin has put them in.

As Russian who against war with Ukraine(I want that Ukraine will winn) I feel disappointment in the Europeans, because many themselves turn into Nazis like Solovyev, and begin to hate all Russians, including even those who are against the war, like me. I believe that this is still Putin's war, not the people's, because before starting the war, Putin got rid of any independent media, introduced censorship, etc., and after that for 20 years imposed on the citizens of the Russian Federation that "the whole world is against them". The Russians who support the war are mostly propaganda-washed, not Imperials. And propaganda from the beginning of the invasion of Ukraine said that allegedly Ukraine itself threatened Russia.

Because it is believed that Estonians, Latvians, Lithuanians and Poles treat Russians badly. There are several reasons for this. In the Baltic States there is a culture of abolishing everything Russian (demolishing monuments, for example), probably because of the government. In Russian propaganda, it is emphasized very strongly that the Baltic States do not like us. People hear this, and also hear that in Poland, for example, the Nazis and they hate Russians. At the same time, relations with Finland and the Finns were not bad until 2022, we often went to Finland (I'm from St. Petersburg). Finland probably has less in common, because Finland was not part of the USSR and it did not have time to dislike Russia so much. Although, in 1939 there was a Russian-Finnish war. My great-grandfather died there.

@@Gata_Scheglova There were two wars, the Winter War (1939-1940) and the Continuation War (1941-1944), although I know that your history books tell quite differently about what happened... By the way, based on some polls, Finns are actually more anti-Russia (or anti-Putin) than any other nationalities... More so than even Estonians, Latvians and Lithuanians. Or Poles. At least in relation to the war and things surrounding it.

As someone born in Finland since my parents moved here in 1994 and who lived in Finland for their whole life but from a Russian family, it's great to see Russians acknowledge the Finnish culture. It's been great here. It's just sad that because of the current situation Finns don't really like those with Russian surnames or double citizenship, like me. Work applications get denied, long time friends turning their back and Finns from the internet people wishing my family and me the most horrible death and threatening they would beat me to death if they ever saw my face IRL. Just because of the surname. I want the early 2000s back. Important to point out though that it's mainly the older generation.

I'd say it depends! :D I am another Pietari man who visited Suomi many times and even lived there for a few months. People say expensive but they forget about what they get. High quality drinking water straight from the faucet, walking and cycling infrastructure, social security: if I understand it correctly, it's quite difficult to be on the street without a roof over your head, state may pay your rent for a social apartment that doesn't mean bad. It will have sauna at the ground floor, free laundry, bicycle parking and other things, and I'm not talking about nature. It's clean, beautiful and available everywhere. Student life seems so cool too. You go to any Prisma grocery and can buy a set of studded tires and clipless Shimano pedals for your bicycle and it will be MUCH cheaper than anywhere in Russia. Damn, I miss RIISIPIIRAKKA!

Well I definitely didn't expect this. It actually made me smile, I was expecting something quite a bit harsher but I am glad these people had good things to say. I shouldn't be surprised really, up until recently the tourism we had coming from Russia was really high, probably highest out of all single countries in the world. So of course people have fond memories and a positive picture about Finland, otherwise they wouldn't want to travel here.. Still.. Russian government has been very hostile (not "war-like" hostile but way worse than ever before) towards us for a while now so I do wonder how it affects the majority of the people and their view. FYI. I think she meant the old lead singer of Nightwish, Tarja Turunen. Current singer (who is in the picture) is not Finnish, although the band is.
