Since Russia’s attack on Ukraine, many eyes have been on Finland. A huge country with relatively few inhabitants, but with a historical determination to defend itself. Finland is also a second home to almost 100,000 people from its large neighbour to the east. And most recently, the country has finally joined NATO and closed its border with Russia. In this situation, three Russian women have radically different views on Putin’s Russia and their own Russian heritage. Anastasiia, 29, has severed all ties to her Russian roots, burned her Russian passport and signed up for courses in Finnish defence. The somewhat older Karina and Marina hold fast to their Russian origins.
