My dad was in a Finnish concentration camp in Petrozavodsk (Karelia), he was there with my grandmother and aunt. What did they see? They saw several hundred barefoot Soviet soldiers marching very slowly along the central street of the city when it was -20 degrees. This was also seen by many of my school teachers, parents of classmates. There were 5 concentration camps in Karelia in total. In the concentration camp, they were told that the only way they could survive was to be slaves in Great Finland, which would occupy the territory up to the Urals. My dad was able to escape during the attack of the Soviet army, and then after the liberation of Petrozavodsk, he volunteered for the army. It was 1944, and Dad turned 17. then they took volunteers into the army from 17. He returned home safely, he could not listen to the Finnish speech, although he understood. come and see, there is a museum with historical documents and photos. Petrozavodsk is close to Finland.

@chinarello2928 yes, Russia took a bit of land from Finlandia before WWII. And It does not excuses the death concentration camps, does it? It does not explain Finlandia wish to create the Greate Finlandia up to Ural and make Russian people slaves. It defend Stalins position, he asked for exchange this bit of land where the border did not exist forever, but just some years after 1921. this time finnish president kissed and huged with hitler and nazi, you can find a movie and photos here. If stalin did not do it, we would not have Snt Peterburg just now, because it officialy known tha this city was suppoused to destroy fully.

@chinarello2928 Russia created Finlandia, before Russia you were not allowed even to teach kids in Funnish language or use native language officialy the same like Russian people in Ukraina just now. About the story about Great Finland up to Ural , go to Petrozavodsk and ask people, the victims of concentration camps, the are still alive. They were as kids there. Finlandia should not get friendship with Nazi. Now you support nazi in Ukraine. By the way even Australia was at war with Finlandia in WWII.

@chinarello2928 State != population.Peter the Great allowed Finnish people to create their own state. Under 'Russian Imperia pressure', your country had become a european champion of human rights. The first country where women were allowed to vote.It was before the independance, and Russian women could not vote. You kept your language, that was practically forbidden by Swedish. If you dont know your history, or it was rewritten (like in Ukraine) what we can speak about.

@chinarello2928 during Stalins rule, it lasted 30 years, in summ, there were less prosoners, than just now (this moment) in the Unated Sates. this is a medical fact. I am not sure about now, but I know that they can work and study(in the universyty), have medical help, and even go to home sometimes (of cause not all of them). I know exactly what were finnish concentration camps and there rassist point.As I wrote you before, it is horroble thing to campare. Why Russian women could not vote. Because Finlandia were developing independantly. The only limit - not to have an army. They attacked us immediatly as they could in 1917 -1920 . I did not cherry picked about women voting, it is just a fact among a lot of others. Finnish people used evrything Russia has even during Soviet Times. Finlandia got forest for extremly cheap price, it was done to keep Finlandia out of NATO. So you lived economically well because od the Sovet help. Not only forest for sure, there were a lot of one way profit exchange.

@chinarello2928 check Mannerheim "The Oath of the Sword" they planned to capture Murmansk region and Karelia. Stalin was the only leader who NEVER meet hitler. Others hug with him. including Mannerheim (he kissed on photo at least). Before this pact Poland took a part of Chechoslovakia, - The Munich agreement, so leave it alone. Russia was not ready for war and Stalin was trying to improve borders. just it.

If you dont know or dont want to know what is going on Donbass, it is under bombing already 8 years... If you dont believe me, may be you can believe ukrainian president Poroshenko, who openly promosed that Donbass kids wouldnot go to school and be hiding from bombing in 2014. I f you dont want to believe, it is your problem. If you think that Russia control atomic power plant and is bombing it the same time.... it is your problem.
