I don't think there really is a Karelian Question. This is not a serious question in Finland and there is probably almost zero support for such an idea.

@6:48 Terrible BS. There's no discussion whatsoever in Finland to get their lost areas back. Even if Russia would offer these, Finland barely would want to take 'em. After 80 years of Russian influence and the ruling of these areas has practically destroyed them and nothing Finnish is left there. It would be vast money and effort needed to build up these areas again. No sense. And "would Finland try to fight these areas back"? They already tried (1941-44), and it didn't end up well. Now that it's long-lasting peace in Finland, the idea of Finland attacking is the most stupid idea one could imagine. And Finland's power wouldn't even match Russia's. Finland has invested in defending, not attacking.

The video is about the Finnish Winter War when the soviet attacked Finland without war declaration. The winter war lasted a few months and 420,000 Carelians were evacuated in two weeks after the end of the war. The end of Finnish Winter War is followed by a period known as "The intermediate war time period" and in connection with the outbreak of the WW2, Finland allied itself with Germany with the intention of winning back Karelia. This war is called the Finnish Continuation War which, however, resulted in Finland once again having to hand over Karelia to the Russians in the end of WW2 and for a second time the Karelians were evacuated. Karelians are a very active society in Finland to keep its heritage alive, also specializing tours every year to visit their family places, now gone of course but with help of GPS and old maps they track down the areas. The Carelians also make an annual Evacuation Walk in memory of the giving up their homeland. The Carelians also have their own burial ground, a beautiful site in a Helsinki cemetery. I'm the second generation of Carelians and probably the culture will die out with time.

Yes, the Finns has long ago realised that preparations designed to give them a better chance against adversity like military attacks on their country must be made long before such measures are acutely needed, because if, or when such damage mittigation measures are needed - but not available - it is too late, and the nation would be left very voulnerable to attacks and for that matter to other seriously destructive events, like perhaps a huge sun mass ejection of hot plasma heading straight for the earth.! Having somewhere to shelter under such conditions could easily make the difference between annihilation or survival.🤔!!!

These are common knowledge, but hey... For one, landsales near defense or infrastructure installations are reviewed and can be potentially denied by the government to prevent espionage, sabotage and the creation of secret hostile forward supply depots. These measures are being reviewed at the moment to prevent the abuse of shell entities. The forced purchase and denial of future acquisition of any land by any Russian entity is currently in discussion, but legally problematic as people are supposed to have rights. While not only a part of total defense planning the National Emergency Supply Agency constantly develop new infrastructure to ensure that basic services run and that all basic needs are met for the whole populace (food, medication, manufacturing tools) during any crisis - war or even a pandemic. These goods are stored similarly to munitions reserves mostly in double blind sealed warehouse bunkers, where the staff nor the owners know what they actually store. Some were unsealed during the pandemic to minimise critical sortages. Normally goods are rotated out before expiration to minimise waste - like a pantry. Sweden used to have a similar system, but it was cut. The interesting part though is that there are a LOT of them. It is considered a given that Russian espionage is competent enough to locate such bunkers though likely with a great deal of effort that would be noticed. Alas, they would be fine logistical targets. However, it is unlikely that Russian Intelligence can find all of them, let alone bomb all of them. Or maybe they could and would waste strike capability on infrastructure build deep into solid rock. Either way, it is a win. Then, if you have any expertise in a useful field the Finnish Defense Force will assign you to an applicable position to best use their limited manpower. Limited in a sense that each dead soldier is a loss to the civilian economy. There won't much left if by "scraping the barrel" 60 percent of the population is dead. Lastly and very cynically, human capital is Finland's largest asset so each dead defender is lost potential from Russian war spoils. All infrastructure and technology is set to be destroyed along with required operating knowledge. Artillery charts exist for the whole country and continquencies for continquencies. Again very VERY cynically and going to logical extreme, the Finnish total defense plan dictates a methodology to kill as many people as efficiently as possible and denying any potential gains from a war - a bloodbath. It is sad and distasteful, but without outside intervention that is the only effective plan.That is a plan fostered by WW2 and the Cold War when you plan to carry on alone.

So thank you for that writeup, it's very interesting. A thought on the value of the double-blind supply depots/bunkers: it also has an attritional value. If the Russians need to hit them all to ensure disruptions of, say, military hardware like artillery shells, they will also waste a bunch on hitting stocks of baby food and whatnot. That's causes problems for the civilian populace, absolutely, but it doesn't hinder the military defence effort except their own in depleting their stocks of advanced, precision munitions.

true words

My parents were refugees from the lost territory, so of course I am an officer in reserve and prepared.

I remember when I was a kid in the 80's in Switzerland and it was FULL of modern bunkers too.

The planning and preparedness of that nation is a ten out of ten

Finland has 900 000 reserves

Main shelters in Helsinki capital region are built within bedrock and can withstand direct nuclear hit. Most shelters are smaller and for few days of use max, built in cellars of larger apartment buildings.

We have in Itäkeskus a swimming center that is under ground.

How far down can a heat flash alone travel? When you consider the modeled crater sizes... A bunker may protect you from debris but also turn youi into a carbonized butter roll.

No pets?! Fuck that. I'll take my chances with the nuclear apocalypse, thanks. 😂 Also, I'm not sure it's entirely fair to say Finland "fears" Russia. I think they've just worked out how to beat the fuckers if they try for a ww2 rematch.

Exactly! Way to many are willing to sacrifice the lives of those who depend on them and who THEY are responsible for to save their own hides (maybe). And besides that, if you survive what do they honestly think will be left?

Pets don't matter they don't bring money in or keep a home clean or do the shopping

My father and mother and their/our families lost their birth homes in eastern Finland. It's Russian now. Of course, no one stayed there.

4:22 second time. Every century. 1400. 1500. 1600. 1700. 1800. 1900. Once or twice

That's cool ,I want to go there.

The pet thing is actually a life saver, the pets can carry disease and people can have allergies to dogs cats, etc. And also who would bring allergy pills in an nuclear scenario? Leaving the pets elsewhere also makes more space for humans and the water and other foods arent going to waste by some random ass dogs

Seriously? You need to look at zoonotics and it is not pets. They want you to get rid of pets because then you have another limited affiliation.

7:00 What are you talking about. Of course Finland would not go to war. And atleast here in Finland it’s not a discussion anyone talks about.

For sure, it's a kind of injection of west idea, to heat another one point to make Russia and European countries weaker by hitting their heads one o one. As a Russian I can say no one hear from ru propaganda that Finns wanted lands back and want fight for it. Also no one here (may be except you know who lol) wanted to fight against Finns for whatever reason. Most people that I know very positive to Finland and Finish people, also many of them visit it's beautiful country. I respect neutral position and total defence style of course when money of people not lost in pockets. But I respect more to live in peace and working together.

For many decades it was a "forbidden subject", not even supposed to be talked about. But the idea has allways been floating around. But to go to war over it... No. Well, take a million people and there are bound to be a number of crazy individuals out there, but hardly anyone with half a brain would actually be willing to start a war. To make demands, is another thing. But on the other hand, for Russia to do anything but simply ignore demands that do not include a threat of war, is unlikely. In other words, there has been, and probably will be discussion about getting back the lost territories, but not very serious.

We are not afraid, we are prepared.

honestly we just chillin up here

Meanwhile in Norway: Our bomb shelters are used as night clubs and bike storage.

Many bunkers are built to have direct hit by nuclear weapons, and to survive it

Damn that war sounds kinda familiar

If you plan to make video where you talk about finnish-russian war (wars) I suggest you read more than 2 minutes about it 😅 there was brief pause In it and then started continuation war that lasted for years and after that lapland war.

Finlandia, finlandia! I'm glad Finland and Switzerland both have bunkers to protect their population, I wish more governments would care about "worst case scenarios" and building infrastructure with the fingers crossed to never use them. Or at least, stuff that doesn't benefit them specifically or benefit them now.

Its much easier to just build bunkers when you dont have own military forces isnt it?

Some things of note here! 1. While we do have conscription for males aged 18-27(?), we also have what we call "civil service", which prepares one to become a civil servant during wartime, as services like schools, libraries, nursing homes, etc still have to manage under war time conditions. This is a type of service many whom don't enjoy the military service take. 2. While the demographic to be conscripted either into military or civil service are male (obvs including trans men btw), the public discourse over the last couple of years has been about making conscription gender neutral, meaning regardless of one's gender, they'd still get conscripted. 3. Those who do not serve the state on religious or ideological grounds are given a prison sentence. The severity of the sentence can range from a tracking collar on your ankle to actual time in prison, depending if you have any prior stuff on your criminal record. 4. The nuclear shelters around the country vary A GREAT DEAL when it comes to quality and maintenance. The images you see here are from downtown Helsinki, in which, these places are kept well and such. But should you go to "poorer areas" like Helsinki suburbs, the shelters there are ill-equipped to handle any biological or radioactive threats, as the filtration systems on those have not seen maintenance since the 1980's. Some of these spaces have been a dumping ground for different municipal services for their hardware and getting all that out of those spaces takes way more time than the advertised 72h.

Personal story: As offspring of Viipuri refugees, none in my family want the parts of Karelia back that were lost once. For us, taking over Viipuri from its current inhabitants would make us the conqueror... And the very thought is disgusting. I obviously can't speak for everyone, but I'd rather not tear open that wound again any time soon.
