THOUGHTS ON HELSINKI PRIDE 2022 (being Russian)

[@amyf6786]

Thank you Alena 🥰 This video was positive and upbeat. I enjoyed the colours, happy vibe and energy. Welcome to Finland 🇫🇮

[@AlenaTalks]

Thank you too☺️

[@cinnamontea326]

Hi Alena. This was a good video. btw welcome to Finland 😊

[@AlenaTalks]

Thank you very much☺️

[@tsogobauggi8721]

3:51 Aww, now you give me positive energy. :)

[@AlenaTalks]

Good😁

[@Lanfearr]

Nice of you to attend this event, it surely brings positive vibes and good mood. Always such a pleasure to listen to you, were you a teacher by profession?. Also love your black nails!

[@AlenaTalks]

Yes, I’m a teacher☺️ thanks, I kinda missed black nails😅

[@donquixote1502]

Great video. This topic should be a no-brainer in 2022. Educated people know that love has no limits, you love who you love, and there is no choice involved. The uneducated people often from macho cultures like Slavic cultures have no limits too, and they cannot understand this!

[@AlenaTalks]

Totally agree!

[@just42tube]

I find it sad that there are people who feel so ignored, even harassed, in society that they need to arrange these events to getting attention and their messages heard. But there is that other side, meeting similar people with similar challenges and feeling belonging to a community or society. That seems just positive. You mentioned dogs. I assume than many where taking part as families of some kind. Dogs are definitely seen as family members, and go where their family goes.

We Finns, or at least most of us, think that it is everyone's own business and decision what they do or don't do in their bedrooms. Their own, not anybody else's 🏳️‍🌈

[@AlenaTalks]

Amen!

[@mantelikukkapenkki2368]

@C. Feral Who's stopping you to speak your mind freely? I don't know where you live but here in Finland you a free to express your self freely. There might be disagreements but there is a secret weapon to that, it's called dialogue.

Great👍❤️!!

[@AlenaTalks]

Thanks! :)

[@arska77]

It is just good, that people can do or be what they want. ✌️

[@AlenaTalks]

Exactly!☀️

[@arska77]

@@AlenaTalks btw, have you noticed any everyday difference between life rus/fin? Maybe video about something like that? And it is really nice that you are back to making videos. Thanks 😊

[@AlenaTalks]

@@arska77 I have, but I need more experiences for a video :)

Some finss also thinks that pride parade is negative thing. I don't understund that becouse If you don't want go pride parade you don't have to. No one pressure you go to ice hockey game either😅.

[@AlenaTalks]

It is so true!!

[@ImForwardlook]

I never cared about people's "preferences" before but this in your face stuff has made me a hater. It is truly proof of the decay of society.

[@teroalho847]

@@ImForwardlook once in year pride people make this "in your face parade" .its "too much" to handle😅. People can make parade and demostrations for every reason just go and make every year parade for football or hevy music etc... and don't complain If some people make fun. For political aspect this Pride thing is quite Two faced becouse on Turkey Istanbul they didint allow Pride parade and Example Finnish Prime ministeri didt say anything about that(becouse NATO proses).

[@ItsAweeb]

@@ImForwardlook with all due respect I think its mostly in your head. Heck the only reason I know when pride is because few youtubers I follow partake, I read the news frequently and at most there's maybe a handful of articles around summer and literally no one is making you open em. If its not for you then its not for you, I don't celebrate easter nor do I particularly care for it, but im not rising noice about how once a year there's a few articles about easter candy.

[@House_of_Caine]

@@ImForwardlook Well, found the homophobe... Your life must be really sad.

[@MikkiHelsinki]

It was a fun day ☺️

[@MrCurwen]

It's definitely a fun event. Most years there's a concert in Kaivari after the march, with big artists. No concert this year, only DJ tents. As the event has grown larger, the amount of trash has increased, some years ago Pride didn't leave any trash at all after it. Well, unavoidable I guess. I took photos at the Kaivari entrance gate, so many great dogs!

[@AlenaTalks]

Maybe next year there will be a show again! Doggies are the best☺️

[@PekkaSiltala]

Did you notice our prime minister Sanna Marin in the parade? She is hetero but her mother is lesbian. Image a similar parade on Nevski Prospekt and Putin joining it to show support. 🤔😎

[@AlenaTalks]

No, I didn’t see her, but it’s very cool that she joined!
