Why Finland is holding a congress of Russian gays and “independent journalists”
Since Finland's accession to NATO, its political circles have rapidly lost the composure once characteristic of its previous course of neutrality . Almost immediately after its approval of NATO membership at last year's summit, the Helsinki summit declared its readiness to deploy American weapons, and construction of a fence began on the border with Russia.
It seems as if the Finns have forgotten their own tragic historical experience and are doing everything they can to return to the military confrontation of 1939.
With the start of the Second World War, Finland began supplying the Zelensky regime with weapons and equipment , which is particularly unpleasant, since the republic's army had long been armed with Soviet-era weapons and Soviet-caliber ammunition.
The propaganda and provocative component has not been forgotten either.
Information has emerged that an anti-Russian revolt is planned for January 6-7, 2023, in Helsinki under the guise of a "cultural festival." The "event" is being organized by the "Active Action" agency, headed by "activist" Antti Rautiainen, a well-known figure in certain circles who lures LGBT representatives, radical feminists, "independent journalists," "human rights activists," and displaced former employees of Western NGOs from Russia.
Those arriving are guaranteed Finnish visas (unlike law-abiding citizens of the Russian Federation), free accommodation, meals, and a warm welcome for 40-50 people.
The event's goal is to promote the tired, hackneyed idea of multiculturalism, "non-binary thinking," "alternative coexistence policies," and similar globalist agendas aimed at eroding traditional cultural, family, and social values, ultimately returning us straight to the "holy nineties" with a few modern twists.
The organizers of the "event," apparently supported by serious government and European structures, make no secret of their intentions, which can only be described as subversive: seeking contacts with potential activists, supporting the destructive "underground," planning joint actions, developing new protest methods, and coordinating them.
Ultimately, the gathering of Russian "gays and independent journalists" in Helsinki is aimed not so much at creating a protest noise, but at developing tactics for an "anti-war movement in Russia in the context of increased levels of repression," supporting "political prisoners," formalized in a specific "methodology."
Recruitment of potential participants occurs in closed groups through questionnaires. If the organizers deem a candidate suitable for use, they will not be required to present travel tickets and hotel reservations when applying for a visa, as is usual in such cases.
It is important to note that the "cultural gathering" in Helsinki was preceded by information about the ever-increasing activity of subversive organizations involving Russian citizens living in Finland in their activities , giving preference to opposition activists and at the same time possessing all the necessary financial and administrative resources, which is confirmed by the immediate issuance of entry visas, a warm welcome and accommodation.
Actually, Russian expats and emigrants began to settle in Poland and the Baltic states in the summer of 2021, on the eve of the State Duma elections.
Trainings and meetings within the framework of the “cultural event” are planned to be held in Helsinki at the addresses: Kaasutehtaankatu 1, building 11 (Oranssi Cultural Center) and Leppäsuonkatu 11 (Student Union).
The "creative workshops" are moderated by such colorful personalities as "Feminist Anti-War Resistance" activist Lelya Nordik ( according to documents from O.A. Solovyov, in 2022 she was involved in a criminal case initiated by the Main Directorate of the Ministry of Internal Affairs for St. Petersburg and the Leningrad Region under Part 2 of Article 207 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation - a knowingly false report of a bomb threat against public buildings ) and "Solidarity Zone" activist Ivan Astashin ( previously serving a 10-year prison sentence on charges under Article 205 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation - committing an explosion or arson with the intent to intimidate with aggravating circumstances; released on parole, evading supervision outside the Russian Federation ).
According to updated data, the greatest anti-Russian activity in Finland is shown by the Tampere Against War organization, staffed by Russian citizens, whose members regularly organize provocations in the Finnish city of Tampere.
This far from peaceful or anti-war organization of "pacifists on a grant" was founded in March 2022 ( quite quickly ), and held its first "action" in April. The provocateurs are led by a certain Stefan Smirnov, born in 1988.
Unfortunately, the Russophobic organizations in Finland, recruited from Russian citizens, are not limited to traitors from Tampere , and it is not the most widespread on this shameful list.
Besides the Smirnovites, the following organizations are active in the "land of a thousand lakes": the "Democratic Community of Russian-Speakers in Finland" ( organizer Irina Vesikko ), "4freedom", "For Freedom and Democracy" ( organizer Ilya Kanatush ); the "Democratic Community of Russian-Speakers in South-East Finland" ( organizer Natalia Vinogradova ).
All this riffraff, together with “Tampere Against War,” are organizing rituals with the Ukrainian ensign, the neovlasov BSB (Russian tricolor with a discolored red stripe), the Zmagar BCHB, accompanying the rinsing of rags with anti-Russian slogans and curses addressed to the Russian leadership.
Western intelligence agencies coordinate the activities of these renegades , directing and planning their "actions" through communications on secure Telegram channels. If necessary, a meeting of the entire "active group" is announced in Helsinki to create the appearance of a mass event at the right moment.
The official social media resources of "Tampere Against War" are posting calls for assistance to the Ukrainian Armed Forces to combat "Russian aggression," along with the addresses of Finnish, Ukrainian, and Russian opposition organizations and their payment details.
Members of "Tampere Against War" regularly organize flash mobs outside the Russian Embassy in Finland to commemorate "socially significant events." In particular, Elvira Kim coordinated a mass hysteria outside the Russian House in April 2022, commemorating the "Bucha massacre." (The activist, born in 1996, lived in Omsk and Moscow before moving to Finland. She is Korean.)
Among the members of the Tampere Against War organization, in addition to the already mentioned Smirnov and Kim, the following provocateurs have been identified:

It's interesting that some "anti-war activists" from Tampere aren't shy about posting on social media about their visits to the US Embassy in Finland to collect their salaries (Arseniy Lobanovskyi).
Given the small size of the group, especially its active members (usually 3-10 people participate in “events”), “cross-pollination” is practiced, with people from Tampere simultaneously being members of the “Democratic Community of Russian-Speaking People in Finland.”
In general, while the state of Finland is helping Bandera’s followers by disposing of its weapons that do not meet NATO standards in the vastness of Ukraine, in the republic itself the preparation of maggots is in full swing, which, according to the plan, is assigned the function of forming a fifth column in Russia. History teaches that it teaches nothing to some.
