Bordering Russia: The Imatra Perspective

The impact of the war in Ukraine to border traffic, border crossing, and how the decrease in Russian tourists since 2022 has affected the border town of Imatra in Finland's Southern Karelia. Finland shares a 1,340 kilometer (832 mile) border with Russia.

I was in Imatra summer 2023 and it was pretty calm and quiet little town 😁

Greetings from St. Petersburg! Russians and Finns have always respected each other as neighbors. Except for money, the Russians did not bring anything to Eastern Finland. And there was no Russian threat to Finland. Thank you for closing the border: The Russian region of Karelia has now begun to develop economically because of this. We're resting there now. If the border is opened, we won't go to the Finns anyway.

فنلاند فقد میتونه مرزهای قانونیش رو ببنده نه غیر قانونی ها رو 😂

And at illegal borders finns can use illegal methods to stop one to cross the border.
No one knows they are there. They could easily end up "missing"
