Hitler particles thru the roof in Finnish rag comments

Summary

The story is that a Russian family of 5 was denied entry to Finland on a trip to Lapland, although they had all their documents in order and otherwise have valid Schengen visas. Finland passed a national decision in 2022 that says Russians "may" be denied entry depending on whether the border guard is racist.

You'll need to use browser translation to read the Finnish comments. TL;DR extreme Russophobia

One good comment

One example of an sane and empathetic Finn, before getting to the 99% of horrid comments:

I've never met more than very friendly Russians myself. I don't understand this Russian hatred. What do the Finns hold on to so strongly?

The bad comments

... and on to the horrid examples:

Thomas Dahlbäck: Finland doesn't need money. The country is so rich already.

Pretty hilarious when Finland recently reach spot #1 for highest unemployment of 10%. Though, those are mostly immigrants, who don't count as people /s

Karri Ollila: Muslims are considered to be supported without any documents, but tourists who travel with their own money are not. There is money!

Janne Salminen: Unfortunately, the majority of the Russian tourists have themselves ruined the reputation of their citizens as holidaymakers in many destinations with their arrogant attitude and disrespectful, rascal behavior, so you don't have to wonder why they are in many so-called countries. "unwanted" guests. I have noticed this myself as well. Egypt, Cyprus, Thailand and a few other countries even before the Ukrainian war.

Pekka Saarremaa: Right. A week ago I flew from Rome to southern Spain and surprisingly many neighbors from the east were sitting on the same flight. Close the borders!

Pertti Hartikainen: Spies sent by Putin covered in tourist robes! It culminates in confidence in modern Russians. The right decision from the border guards because you really can't know what the motives are for trying to get to Finland and certainly also Putin's supporters!!!

Ari Ko Ronkainen: Some years ago I cancelled the spa reservation on site because the place was full of arrogant and thorny Russians.

Erkki Koskinen: You can hear a lot of people still speak Russian in Helsinki-Vantaa, I noticed again a week ago while waiting for the flight.

Sami Korva: Yeah, we don't need all of them to be allowed here, you know what kind of spies 🤔 😏

Aki Vanhala: There are really a lot of those Russians in this country.

Heikki Juhani Syrjänen: That's right! It was the best thing for Finland that that Russian business finally ended and their tourism as well. He used to walk the streets of Helsinki completely free unsupervised. Luckily not anymore. And their cars with Russian plates have nothing to do with Finland. And that's that we finally closed the borders. I hope they stay at least as long as Karelia is a free independent nation. That day will come and only then can we open the border.. 😃

Jaana Lehtonen Yes, it is involved in almost every Finn's blood circulation if they know even a bit of our country's history. Especially if grandparents or your own parents fought between 39-44 and if you've heard of 18 year old events in the past. That neighbor created the hate himself. Needless to say with these, that the time has changed. It is not the other way around. Even today people who live here say that they don't listen to or watch Finnish news and especially Russian news. Data moves to domestic news via mobile phone and praises Putin. They say that the attack on Ukraine was justified.

Ulf -Peter Ek: In this world situation, every Ivana on our soil has a potential security risk. Even though as a tourist. You can never be sure what they're on. It's better not to let any here. There are plenty of tourists in Lapland elsewhere as well. 🤔
