I love learning about regional differences within countries or even regions. It's an American internet so even I know that New Yorkers are on a whole 'nother level of exceptionalism and being from Brooklyn specifically Means Something. Tell me, how does the rest of Brazil feel about people from Rio? What sets the Quebecuois apart, aside from speaking French? Does South Africa have stereotypes about people speaking all the different languages they have? Does being closer to North or South America mean something in Mexico? Italy hasn't been one cohesive country for very long, how shattered is it still? Etc etc etc tell me about regional stereotypes in your dear homeland Ethiopia make it a fight if you have to. I want to HEAR

#venlapost #like try not to be outright racist (not that I'm an expert on that) but aside from that #the innocuous things #this was spurred by the differences between east and west in Finland #I've tried to be vague about where i live but it's probably not TOO distinguishing to say i grew up in the west and now live in the east #and it's a common idea that people from savolax and karelia (east) are friendlier and more sociable than ostrobothnia (west) #(there are three ostrobothnias. you still know nothing about me. moving on) #and now that I'm closer to the eastern border I've also been made aware of the differences between north and south karelia #and how strong confirmation bias ban be lol #like. if someone happens to come by when we're on a break we invite them to join #and to me that's like 'oh how nice the eastern Finland hospitality in action :)' #while. i mean. if that happened in my hometown. would they really NOT do that #it is easier to imagine someone getting up and taking them to another room to talk so the rest can finish their coffee in peace #but isn't that more about the personalities of the people present? #in high school i had a substitute teacher from savolax #(who decided to translate it into savolax in English anyway. why are there three extra letters) #and he said that when you invite someone over to your house where he's from you'll prepare a whole meal to eat together #while over here you take guests to the living room for an hour before giving them a cup of coffee #and MAYBE some dry leftover... sweet buns idk how to translate it #he thought we were SO inhospitable #and i thought 'that's not true my mom always bakes like three different things to offer evening guests :(' #before remembering. my parents moved to my hometown as adults. my mom is karelian #and her behavior in general is. VERY in line with the stereotypes lol #and how in some ways i feel some details about daily life suit me better here where i live now #i may have grown up in ostrobothnia but my roots are in the east and most of my extended family live all around savolax #so. maybe topelius was right and we DO have different tribes here #this got. longer than intended. finnish portion over go argue about YOUR east/west dichotomy

Tervetuloa Suomeen!

Petersburg residents grabbed up all the appointments in July to apply for a Schengen visa at the Finnish visa center in the city after it was reported that all restrictions on crossing the border would be lifted. Finland lifted all anti-covid restrictions on entering the country on June 30, and visa restrictions were lifted on July 1. The scheduling of appointments for processing visa…

What part of Russia that you've been to would you say is the most beautiful? I imagine there are many nice places to see

Ooh my favourite area that I've been too is the South—Sochi and the Caucasus. I love mountains! And the sea! All of the things we don't have here. I want to explore more of the area, I want to visit Dagestan and see the Caspian Sea. Unfortunately it doesn't have the reputation of a very safe place, esp. for women.

In the North the farthest I've been is Karelia, which a beautiful, eery place with its rocks and pine trees and moss.

But there are so many places I've never been! I hate that I will never be able to visit them all. For reference, here's a little map of the country's area I've covered during my travels.

Today is the day and by that I mean the tax day!

Income tax records are public in Finland and the tax administration publishes the records of taxes paid annually. This means that every year the media will dig into the records to see who are the top earners in the country.

Local papers may also publish long lists of names of locals categorised in groups according to how much tax they paid. Fun activity for the day is to check how much your neighbour or relative paid income tax the year before.

Tabloids, of course, have a lot of fun with this.

While it may all seem frivalous or even mean-spirited in some cases, public taxes make it easier to spot tax avoidance (which can easily lead to public shaming and people avoiding the company in the future) and income inequality. It allows people to see if their employer is underpaying them. It allows people to see how equally or unequally men and women are paid.

By far most Finns are happy with public tax records and consider it their civic duty to pay taxes. People who want to hide their earnings are looked at with suspicion. It is possible for high earners to ask their records not to be published by the media, however, their names will still be published with the request, so this cannot be used as a method to hide one’s earnings fully.

These companies are the top corporate tax payers: UPM, OP, K-ryhmä, Supercell...

I'm by no mean a historian, let alone a journalist (Thank God). But at the risk of playing armchair analysts, I've noticed that ever since WW2, there are mainly three tropes of conflicts, in matter of duration, that is:

First case: 4 days-long wars. Those where the power balance between belligerent factions is so unequal that there is no point in resisting or fighting back. Outpost guards just watch powerlessly entire regiments cruise drive through their checkpoints. It's basically what happened with the American invasion of Grenada in 1983, or the Russian invasion of Georgia in 2008, or even Crimea in 2014. Those are wars that end up seeing very little material damage and few victims (Crimea's invasion is even called "The war without a single shot fired" in Russia, which is an image they like a lot btw. Krutchev claimed America would fall without them firing a single shot too, few decades back).

How many Central and South Americans does the CIA need to kill before you realize socialism is bad? - Charlie Kirk

Second case: 4 weeks-long wars. Or the Blitzkriegs. The power balance is a bit more reasonable, but through coordination and shock&awe tactics, one invader sends the enemy to the mat by wreaking havoc. Destroying comms, bombing roads, bridges, rail tracks, or shredding the airforce/navy before it even takes off. Within a month, the defending army is folded. This is essentially how most of the allies fell during WW2 (Poland, France, Norway), and in more recent examples, it is how went the American invasion of Iraq, or the NATO-backed coup in Libya (Iraq evolved into a case 3, but Saddam's army still got swept within 40 days, give or take).

The Onion did release some bangers during that time, so maybe the Invasion was worth it after all

The third type, the worst of all, either when the power balance is fair, or when the fighting tactics are too different to compare: the dragging to a stalemate. A lot of destruction, a lot of death, civilian & military alike, but no winner in the end. Yeah, some skirmishes here and there to be claimed, but the losses are so that it is pointless to call those victories. The textbook case of "Tactical VS Strategic victory". Examples are Vietnam to the US, Algeria to France, Afghanistan to the Soviets (for the record, those three were the strongest armies of the Cold war, with nuclear armament). And the most iconic: The Iran-Iraq war: 8 years of conflict, 300.000 deaths on each side, hundreds of billions worth of dollars thrown into the cogs of war. Yet the borders have not moved a centimetre nor did the people in power. Almost a million people died for, in the literal sense of the term, nothing.

"Hey you ever heard of Verdun? Hell on Earth, chemical artillery, fruitless bloodbath. Sounds horrible. Let's try that!" - some iraqi/iranian general, probably

Back in February, when I heard the news of war, I expected it to be a case 1, the way it happened in Crimea back in 2014. Zelensky would run tails between legs. Russian tanks arrive in Kiev without firing a single shot and Ukraine would fall back into Russian tutelage. The international community gets pissed, shakes their finger. Dogs bark and the caravan moves on.

But that did not happen, a month in and Ukraine was still holding. I then betted that Zelensky could come to terms with an armistice à la Finnish winter war (Both sides lose, but having saved enough dignity to call it a victory). The Donbass is demilitarized, Donestk becomes a Karelia 2.00 and falls into Russian territory and the Azov battalion is sold out on the sacrificial altar. Putin, having filled his "Special operation" objectives (demilitarization, denazification, protection of russophones), can now toot his horn back in Moscow. Meanwhile, Zelensky can come back to Kiev as a hero: he saved Ukraine from getting eaten whole by the second army in the World, like Finland did 80 years ago.

It is tomorrow the day 250 of the conflict. Russia has since mobilized its civilians because the meat grinder needs more flesh and Zelensky is getting more and more bold and aggressive in its pleas for assistance to the West: Ukraine is a hill Putin's Russia will die on, literally. And no Russian (that desires to keep living in Russia, that is) can back down either. If/when Russia loses, the Western powers appear hell-bent to make Russians pay for all the wrongdoings in Ukraine for the passing 10 generations. "Russia will be carved, its economy dismantled, its relevancy wiped out!". Well, this is what Russian media claims at least, but it's hard to fully deny it either; the US doesn't give tens of billions monthly to Ukraine as a charity: like everything, it's an investment, it expects a return and I don't really see a war-torn Ukraine bringing it.

But to Russians, this conflict either ends two ways: with Russia's annihilation and its fall back to square (199)1, or Russia forcing the way through Ukraine to have a chance at living a life like it used to be before the conflict. The peace talks are far gone. In fact, peace is a word neither Ukrainians nor Russians want to hear right now: This war is ending with the capitulation of Ukraine, or Russia's.

The next time you believe that Russia & the USSR was and is anticolonial, think of whether Russia did the decolonization within its borders first.

Spoiler alert: Russia never revised its colonial history regarding it's conquests in Siberia, the so-called Russian North (Karelia and other Ugro-Finnic lands), the Caucasus mountains and Central Asia. Instead, they still worship the very people who committed those crimes as national heroes.

A perfect example of such a Russian national “hero” is Semyon Dezhnev, a 17th-century Russian (Moscovian) cossack. In Russian schools they teach that he was a great traveler and explorer, that he discovered new lands in Siberia for the tsar, that he was the first European to swim through the Bering Strait, and that he befriended the native Siberian nations. During the Soviet era, he was so revered that several icebreaker ships were named after him.

What they don't mention, however, is the fact that in relation to native Siberians, particularly Sakhans (Yakuts), he was a sort of a character that we could compare to the Spanish conquistadors in South and Central Americas or to English settlers in North America. I believe that the best character in the Western historiography that I can compare him to is John Smith. Yeah, the one who abducted a 12-year-old Powhatan girl named Matoaka, but you may know her in her romanticized, sexu@lized version as Pocahontas.

In other words, I mean that Semyon Dezhnev was a colonizer, and most likely a murderer and a r@pist.

Because yeah, the story of Semyon Dezhnev and his Sakhan (Yakutian) wife, Abakayade, is sort of like the Russian version of the story of Pocahontas and John Smith. It is heavily romanticized and almost always centres the perspective of the colonists and marginalizes native voices.

But you know what is the difference between the story of Pocahontas & John Smith and the story of Semyon Dezhnev & Abakayade?

That the native people of the Americas managed to fight back and reclaim their own narrative. That the white settlers were forced to stop spreading this false narrative which only served to legitimize colonialism and genocide.

Meanwhile, in Russia, the story of Dezhnev & Abakayade was cemented by the Soviet propaganda as the perfect example of the fraternity of peoples. Yes, the same concept of the fraternity of peoples that the Soviets popularized among the POC in the West as an example of a decolonized, equal society.

And the lie has been so strong, that in 2005 Semyon Dezhnev was commemorated in a monument in Yakutsk, the capital city of the republic of Yakutia (Sakha) - the capital city of the very lands that he raided and exploited. And to make things worse, he is depicted as a loving husband to Abakayade, the woman whom he abducted, forcefully baptized in the Russian Orthodox Church, married in this very religion that was foreign to her, then r@ped and impregnated so that she had his child.

How disgusting you have to be to lie to the world about being “anti-colonial” and then commemorate straight-up colonizers?

And yeah, before you accuse me of defending the US - the fact that I criticize Russian imperialism, Russian colonialism and the concept of Russia as a whole does not mean that I am fond of the US. Heck, I am not. But the problem is that criticizing the US has been a thing for decades, while the victims of Russian colonialism and imperialism has been silenced this entire time because too many people out there believed in the myth called fraternity of peoples - a myth invented by Russkiye (white Slavic) Russians for Russkiye Russians, and to make Russiye Russians look good in the eyes of the world; a myth, in which the native population is just an addition to the “glory” of the Russkiye.

My point is not that the US is better, my point is that the US and Russia, somewhat like the Western and Eastern Rome, are two sides of the same coin and none of them deserves praise just because it's against the other. They equally deserve condemnation.

Have a picture of a monument of a colonizer with his victim 🙃

The Kummakivi Balancing Rock is a natural feature found in a scenic forest region of Ruokolahti, a municipality in the region of South Karelia, in the southeastern part of Finland. This feature consists of two boulders, one perched precariously on the top of the other.

Helsingin Sanomat is among the papers reporting that the Finnish branch of Extinction Rebellion (known in Finnish as Elokapina) has announced that it will be holding a week of protests in Helsinki and Tampere starting Monday, 9 October.

According to the groups, the marches will disrupt traffic in both cities.

"The purpose of the slow-moving processions is to slow traffic to a near standstill. With these slow marches, demonstrators are demanding that the use of forests in Finland be restored to a sustainable level," Elokapina stated in a press release quoted by the paper.

The marches are part of an autumn campaign by Elokapina pushing for the prioritization of the natural environment and diversity, and the ending of state subsidies that are destructive to the environment.

Finnair suspends flights to Israel

Finland's national airline Finnair has cancelled its regularly scheduled flights between Helsinki and Tel Aviv for the period of 9-14 October, due to the conflict in the region, reports Ilta-Sanomat.

According to the paper, for the time being Finnair will not use Israeli airspace for any of its flights. The company added that it is closely monitoring the situation and following instructions from authorities.

Finnair also announced that passengers with reservations on this route between 15 and 31 October 2023 can make changes to their bookings, if they so wish, or cancel and request a refund.

Tackling street gangs

The Joensuu-based daily Karjalainen presented its readers on Monday morning with a review of some media comments by national officials on measures they suggest to deal with criminal activities by street gangs.

The paper notes that among the suggestions, Justice Minister Leena Meri (Finns) wants to use to address the problem is extending criminal liability to 14-year-olds.

In an interview with Iltalehti, Meri pointed out however that this change is not a part of the current government's programme, which means that moving forward would would require wider political support.

The change has come up for discussion as street gangs are known to try to recruit young people under the age of 15 to commit crimes because they cannot be prosecuted.

"Currently, arrest, imprisonment or travel bans cannot be imposed on anyone under the age of 15. The possibility of using coercive measures should be expanded," Meri told Iltalehti.

Karjalainen notes that the government is preparing several changes in legislation aimed at combating street gang crime. One change will bring stiffer sentences for crimes committed as a gang member. In addition, sentences for aggravated assault and carrying an illegal weapon are to be increased.

The paper also notes that Maria Ohisalo (Green), a former Minister of the Interior, told Helsingin Sanomat that the police did not tell decision-makers about their concerns related to street gangs until the middle of the government term in 2021.

Ohisalo said that she is ready to support many of the measures being pushed by the current government, such as tougher punishments, and that she believes they will easily be backed by a large majority in parliament.

Cabling the countryside

According to Maaseudun Tulevaisuus, there are still an estimated 1.4 million households in Finland without access to high-speed fibre optic cable services.

At the turn of last year, less than 60 percent of properties had fixed broadband access in South Savo, South Karelia, Kymenlaakso, North Karelia, Central Finland, South Ostrobothnia and Lapland.

An estimated one third of a 32 million euro grant from the EU to develop these services has still not been spent. The government target is to ensure a one-gigabit internet connection for all citizens in 2030.

The government has stipulated the level of the contributions that local authorities have to make to building broadband networks in areas where they are not commercially viable. Municipalities are divided into three groups, whose shares are either 8, 22 or 33 percent of the costs.

According to Elina Ussa, CEO of the IT sector interest group FiCom, this development now depends on municipal decision-makers and whether or not the required permits will finally be available from a "one-stop shop" as promised by the Orpo government.

"Permit processes now take too long. The country's 309 municipalities have very different practices, and the network is often built in the area of several municipalities. The various requirements for permits are a challenge, and shallow cable installation, for example, may be restricted in residential areas," Ussa pointed out.

Ussa also noted that choice is another issue slowing coverage.

"Broadband subsidies - which only apply to the fixed network - have made fibre connections available to a total of 130,000 households, but only a third have subscribed. You have to pay for the connection, even if the network was built and brought to the property for free. Not everyone wants to pay more if online services work in other ways," she told MT.

Slippery morning roads

Iltalehti writes that roads may be "deceptively slippery" after nighttime sleet in some places.

Sleet and slush has made driving potential hazardous in an area stretching along the northwestern coast.

Monday is starting out cloudy in most parts of the country, but will become sunnier during the day. The most persistent cloud cover is expected in Kainuu, North Karelia, and eastern Lapland.

There may be rain showers on the west coast, and some sleet in Ostrobothnia.

Hello! I saw your Q&A and am hoping I'm not too late! Do you have a favorite part of Russia to visit? Are there any places you would like to visit? I hope you have a lovely day!

Not late at all, I'm slowly working my way through the inbox!

I've only been in the European part of Russia, I've been everywhere from Sochi in the South to Vyborg in the North. My favourite parts are the farthest because they're different! Sochi has palm trees and magnolias and Karelia has giant rocks and endless moss-carpeted pine trees.

My favorite cities to visit are St Petersburg, Samara, Kazan and Sochi.

I'd really like to visit more faraway places in Russia like the Altai mountains, lake Baikal, republics of Tuva and Buryatia, and of course Kamchatka. (If only a trip to Kamchatka didn't cost like a small helicopter!)

I also want to discover more of the Caucasian region, the mountains of Ingushetia and Kabardino-Balkaria and the coast of the Caspian Sea in Daghestan.

True Narrative and Testimonies

°True Narrative- Is a story based on actual events. You compose a true narrative story about an incident that you experienced or observed. The purpose of telling the story is to express a point or observation.

•Example - A war veteran telling detailed stories about his experience in the previous battles he participated in.

°Testimonies- A declaration of truth or facts evidence or proof provided by the existence or appearance of something.

•Example - The world's deadliest sniper is simo hayha a soldier who fought in world war II and called "The White Death" by his enemies.

• INTRODUCTION

He displayed his military skills early on and after only one year had already advanced to the rank of Corporal.

• SUMMARY

In 1939 Finland The Winter War has began. Russia made the first move wanting to regain the territory once they own. Thinking that a small country like finland would be easy to take down but the one thing that didn't come to their mind is the Finnish concept "sisu" which translates to "determination". Hayha skills play a crucial role against the devastating odds. he and 31 soldiers of their country against 4000 soviet soldiers. as the war continues soviet soldiers starting to notice that there's an enemy sniper nowhere to be found more likely a ghost sniper which brings fear not only in their heart but also in Russia. In the middle of winter when everything is cover white the number of death of soviet soldiers is increasing. the nickname "White Death has born". Hayha with a sniper and no scope hiding in the snow killed 500 soviet soldiers during the winter war.

• EVALUATION

Hayha showed incredible military skills despite being on the losing side of the war yet he gave a great contribution defending finland.

• CONCLUSION

In the later decades, Simo hayha passed away in 2002 at the age of 96 and was remembered as a National Hero in Finland.
