SUOMI RAJANA TAKANA: SORTAVALA

[@henjuhasa9311]

Thanks for the video! My grandfather’s family lived in Ruskeala Sortavala and had to evacuate due to the war.

[@RalfFinne]

Really nice video. I am quite amazed that you are interrested in the finnish language and the history of Karelia. It IS interresting how these towns have changed over the past 80 years

[@Vika-tm6qm]

I was born in a village near there. In Vidlitsa, but moved to Sortavala when I was a kid before being adopted into the US. Thank you for doing this!

[@JakeLindqvist]

Olipas mukava nähdä miltä Sortavalassa näyttää. Kaunis paikka. Muutenin hieno konsepti sinulla. Kohdassa 4:38 vilahtaa myös mummoni isopappaa, runonlaulaja Pedri Shemeikkaa esittävä patsas. Ruskeala oli upea uusi tuttavuus.

Hi from Finland! Me on the other hand miss Saint Petersburg (even tho I am able to visit and do visit as much as I can)

[@Igorinrussia]

You might enjoy my Russian Finland series both in Finnish and English

Sortavalassa itse asiassa oli taisteluja vain 1941 eli jatkosodan alussa. Toki sitä varmaan oli myös joskus pommitettu ilmasta. Suhteellisen vähäisiä olivat sodan aineelliset tuhot.

Et ole käynyt vielä Viipurissa ! Maailmanmatkaaja Dave Legenda videota on sieltä katsottu paljon.

[@irmavalkeapaa5928]

Kiitos historiikka videosta.

[@sallapuurunen]

Todella mielenkiintoinen ja hyvä video! Odotan innolla seuraavaa videota 👍🙂

[@iharbeliauski4112]

Kiitos paljon ❤️

[@timoterava7108]

Thanks very much for your video. Some observations: 1. I wouldn't call Sortavala as a city but a town. Only Viipuri is (was) big/significant enough to be a city in the spirit of the original British usage. However by the official EU standards neither of them is a city. 2. The Sortavala Russian post building surely is unique in Russia, because it was originally the building of the United Bank of the Nordic Countries in Finland. 3. Sortavala, Viipuri and the rest of the occupied Finnish Karelia was always (before 1940-41 and 1944-) inhabited by the Finns/the Karelians - regardless of the borders.

[@eipiplusone3791]

Vyborg was originally built by the Swedes and was an important city for the Swedish kingdom, then it was within the grand duchy of Finland under the Russian empire and belonged to finland in its modern sense for only a few decades, to claim it as some kind of eternal Finnish city is so damn silly and unrealistic. You should also familiarize yourself with what the Finnish fascists did to the ethnic Russian families there just because of their ethnicity after the bolshevik revolution even though these Russians were anti bolshevik. But of course you are never wrong or guilty n your Finnish conception of history, always the good guys ;)

[@mikaveekoo]

Finns left totally after 1944.

[@eipiplusone3791]

@@mikaveekoo well they had no choice because ussr kicked yours and the Germans ass, otherwise you would have tried to implement the silly sour suomi bull**** but like always you are cluess about reality.

[@marjasillman5008]

Kiitos Ihar! Tiesin noista paikoista vähän jo ennestään, mutta olet todella sympaattinen ja esittelit Sortavalaa ja Ruskealaa mielenkiintoisesti ja persoonallisesti. Opin jotain uuttakin. Olet siis alunperin Valko-Venäjältä? Missä ja miten kiinnostuit suomen kielestä? Se sujuu sinulta jo aika hyvin. Toivotaan, että matkustusrajoitukset ja muut säännöt pian poistuvat! Tilasin kanavasi.

My grandma was born in Jaakkima hundred years ago. They had moved to Sortavala when she was relatively young. When the war started she evacuated on the train with her younger siblings, apart from the one born right after her. She walked their cattle to safety.

[@TuomasLevoniemi]

Nuo alueet ovat jääneet Neuvostoliiton (nyt Venäjän) puolelle 76 vuotta sitten. Ei lähes 100 vuotta sitten. Sata vuotta sitten muodostettiin Neuvostoliitto.

[@terokallio9339]

Great that you are interested in Finnish history and Finland 👌🙏. One background information which might interest you: eventhought Carelia and Sortava has been in the past a part of the Sweden-Finland, Finland and Russia/USSR, it was always a Finnish town until 1944. The reason is, that the population of Carelia was always Finnish. Culturally and ethnically and the language - all Finnish. It was just the rule that changed between Sweden, Russia and Finland. The people were always Finns. This is what the modern Russia (in purpose) forgets when they claim that these are ”old Russian territories”. They are not. Only since 1944 Sortavala and Carelia has been Russian (exept for the Eastern Carelia, which was more Russian already earlier). Keep on doing those videos 👍.

[@arvosalmi4827]

On surullista Suomen kannalta,että Neuvostoliitto valloitti näin kauniin kaupungin.

Thanks for this great video about this old Finnish city, yes, I say Finnish even if it´s in Russia now. I hope you can move to Finland very soon and is great that you love Finland. If you want to learn about Finland in the wars against Russia/Soviet Union then read the history from the Finnish side. I have realized that the the history from the Russian side about Finland is so made up and don´t show the real truth about the wars. You will realize how different the history is written from the Russian side. I subscribed you channel now. Keep on doing these great videos Ihar.

[@eipiplusone3791]

And the Finnish version of the history is surely the correct one always :D

[@kimmoturunen7779]

Tuttu kaupunki kävin paljon tuolla vuosina 1998 - 2019. Jäi paljon muistoja sieltä. Olis mukava käydä vielä joskus muistelemassa wanhoja hyviä aikoja Sortavalasssa. Vieläköhän Krona baari rabottaa?

[@MikhailTravels]

Привет 👋🏻 Замечательное видео ✅️🔝👍🏻📹

[@aleksikangas9495]

I'm waiting for the episode about Petsamo

Ahah hope once I can go there!

[@ituhippi3663]

This is so underrated. I hope you succeed.
