"But when Finland refused, the Soviets labeled Finland as a fascist state and invaded the country"
"The Soviets expected to face very little resistance and envisioned that they'd simply walk in and take over the entire country with ease"
Incredible that Russia's playbook for invading neighbors never changed from Soviet times.
Same as China, almost like all commies are the same 🙄
Truly a ruski classic
I thought the same thing. It worked, they took 9% of their neighbors land, so Putin is just playing the same game plan. Except times have changed, the world is much more connected and hopefully Putins plan fails.
Russia is known to simply throw bodies at problems.
they never learn.
"the soviets expected very little resistance" sounds familiar
during the late staged they were busy regaining territory aka the entire eastern board of the USSR from the germans and italians.

One thing you forgot to mention about the Karelia question is that Karelia today is soooo underdeveloped, thanks to Russia's neglect and mistreatment of said province, that building the infrastructure up to Finnish standards would bankrupt the whole country, which is another reason why so many Finns oppose taking back Karelia.
Awesome video otherwise, keep it up! Cheers.
It wouldn't bankrupt us but it would certainly be taxing, also there are hardly any people anymore left who used to live down there so it is just matter 'historical values' if we wanted it back. Sure it would give us more forest to get some of that sweet forestry going on more but it would be 10-30 year development time and would need political agreement for long time but seems like our government cannot stay up without breaking up for whole term.
The Finns reaction to being forced to cede Karelia was incredible.
People left, to move to what was still Finland ...
and BURNED everything left behind. I mean, everything.

Anything for the safety of our people and our homeland
PERKELE
Wow, that's rather impressive. I appreciate that their preparation efforts were made under the assumption that they would be fighting alone. I feel like a lot of NATO members don't fully commit to defense preparation specifically because they are part of the alliance and assume their partner nations will pick up the slack. I hope Finland's induction into NATO doesn't infect them with the same complacency.
feels like finns dont have luxury to be complacent when comes to defending country because how much border they have with russian
As a Finnish person I hope that too. That is propably one of the main reasons I used to oppose joining Nato.
It doesnt, one of the conditions for us to join is that we keep up the same energy. Finland can already defend against the russia, joining Nato will make sure such conflict will never start.
Finnish defence force has been heavily buying new stuff during last months. And there is wide support for universal consprict system.
hopefully Finlands Laws and regulations spread to the rest of Nato and Finlands Aplication and eventual includemtn in nato would benefit millinery policies in all of nato
as an Estonian i would 100% help Finland fight should it come down to it just as they have helped us

@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.
That's not entirely true. There are certainly people who want Karelia back but it's not really a big political issue.
@@fdk7014 Yes, there are some. Maybe 5...10 %. Not any kind of political issue, not even a minor.

Great, if thats the case, they may end up like the Ukraine did in late 90s and end up getting "special operations" by Putin again. 😅
what if they did, sussy.
This guy is so good, he doesn't only explain it. He goes deep into a single idea e.g the winter war
okay...preparing the war in the most peaceful decades....now, it shows. Finnish ppl is really understand Russia lol.
Cool that you included the "Replot/Raippalouoto bridge" (at 8:29 in the video), as I live close to it and cross it quite often😁
Your best video yet!! Thanks
As kid I though that is universally common to have bomb shelter in every building. (nothing fancy , but better than nothing) There were ping pong tables, hobby rooms etc. in apartment houses bomb shelters in the 80s.
As a Finn I can approve all the information you said. Great Video👍
Great video! Thanks!
Nice informative content Thanks buddy keep it up
i am finnish and live near helsinki. cool to see you making a video about my country
It is interesting to see this video since ive actually played in one of those bunkers showed in the video.
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.
No wonder Finland’s population is so happy. They feel like their government is doing all it can to keep it safe; including plans for its defense and incorporating them into each citizen’s life.
Knowing your country has a plan and spends its money on realizing that plan must be somewhat satisfying.
It really is satisfying.
Every apartment building I ever have lived in, had those mandatory bunkers. Also local public swimming pool is carved inside a mountain.
Slava Finlandia !!!!
Love the videos!
Majority of these shelters are not like that high tech one you showed at the beginning. Most of them are quite old and meant for 2-3 days tops, after that everything runs out. Power, food, water. And living in complete misery since theyre going to be packed as full as possible. More for surviving the fires or chemical attacks than nuclear war. Shelter isnt going to do anything in nuclear war.. The real death toll starts once all food runs out, water is irradiated, radiation poisoning sets in. Medical and emergency services cease to operate.
t. finn
you are finnish? what do you say about the point that you dont want karelia back only because there are living slavic people now? sure its a point, but to me the finnish people seem to be intelligent and dont want to "anger" russia with any claims given the history. so the main reason is to have no demands and have a more neutral relationship and not risk a war/invasion/conflicts.
@@dreipunktekind wtf are you even talking about
@@rykehuss3435 the point he made in the video was like "we dont want any russians in our country hence we dont want the land" which just sounds like an racist argument than the actual motivation behind no demands. i wanted to hear a finnish voice about that.
Thank you, Jerebare!
@@dreipunktekind Russia is not a race so you cannot be racist towards russians. I believe bigot is the term youre looking for.
And I can tell personally I dont want any russians in Finland either. Not because of russians themselves, but because of their government. But the russians themselves are also partly to blame, they allow such a government to rule. Its part of their culture, as long as the government's decisions dont touch them too bad (like conscription on the streets of Moscow), the people en mass are quiet and dont resist anything.
A more exact rumination on how things ACTUALLY would turn out. Thank you for the reality check.
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.
Yo on a serious note, I'm always excited when this guy uploads. Like bro my teachers could never make history/facts this interesting smh. I wish this guy was my teacher.
Thanks for the vid, now I know where to go
This was such a cool video!
Huh, the reason why Finland has so many bunkers was actually exactly what I thought. The defense motivations for pretty much any of Russia's neighbors can be predicted pretty easily. Wonder why that is?
I wonder how many people thought Finland feared attack from Italy, and were hugely surprised when this video informed them that it's actually Russia.
Finland have very similar strategy to Switzerland. I like it. It makes war very difficult and not worth it.
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.🤔!!!
My Grandfather has always hided his dachshund under his jacked in the bunkers during WW2. Pets were also not allowed in bunkers 80 years ago
God bless your grandfather.
"hided" 🤣
Hided,,,,,,,or do you mean hid pity he didn't get caught and shot
And in UK many 10 of thousand's pet were killed as people feared that they will run out food so it was kind of act of mercy. But when they realized that government was wrong they were furious about it.

Love ur videos
it definitely was not what I thought
Yoo another one appeared
Are there more details about the type of countermeasures Finland puts in place in their total defense plan? The examples given in the video were amazing!
As from metal industry; there are some rumors, that metal industry companies of certain size and certain machinery have custom tooling from Defence forces and some mandates. In the need we will quite fast adapt in making for example mortar shells by lathes etc.
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.
@@TuntematonX that's so cool. And it may be common knowledge among the Finns, but to us outsiders (even fellow Scandinavians such as myself), it is not. 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.
Watch Finnish defence force videos there is video 1 hour about how things would evolve if war comes. I think video is Taistelukenttä 2020 = battlefield 2020
I remember, that there is evacuation plan for every citizen in Finland, if the bunkers aren't enough. I don't remember the name of the village that I would be evacuated, but I remember reading it somewhere.
There is also a plan for organizations in all key areas (finance, social security, etc) so they can keep on functioning. These organizations must name some key persons that would be in charge of things. They all get special training. If there is a crisis they will be evacuated in a secret location.
And many CEOs and directors participate in a special defence training so that everything runs smoothly in times of crisis.
12:00 Wow what a Great Illustration 😄
That's pretty awesome!!
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.
It has nothing to do with fear.
Fear is wrong word here yes indeed, more correct would be something like: lack of trust.
Winter war was not the first time Russia attacked Finland nor was it the last and Finns know it. That's why they have been preparing this whole time fortifying their positions to hunker down and wait for the crucial moment, just sitting behind that loaded mg and waiting to hear the Russian urraaa! scream.
Still I gotta admit there has been moments where Finnish maiden has been sleeping for example the land sales, but after 2014 Crimea scenario Finland has picked up on the phase again more.
Never should fall a sleep on guard duty.
I thank you 👌
Could you tell us what music sounds at the beggining? (Is the same as the used in the hospital ship video) Thanks in advance and great video!
The Finns are well-prepared. They also have Kimi, Mika and Nokia, the latter making them indestructibles. Why would anybody want to mess with them?
Beautiful piece. All the action of the Finn's is a reflection of being in proximity of their larger bellicose neighbour which has seen it fit to embrace dictatorship at the expense of democracy and freedom of expression and non violent expression of dissenting views. People especially here in Africa see Russia as some form of benign and benevolent dictatorship that unlike the West did not colonise Africa. Well guess what it is only checnya and Belarus who operate oppressive dictatorships that are at ease with Russia, all the other countries prefer to operate democracies of various shades rather than the three aforementioned countries.
This is awesome. The finish people are awesome people. I'm a American, but even the Finland gov. Never ceases to amaze me. They are great people and obviously care about their peoples survival.
This is why I love my country so much
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?

Actually crazy smart and efficient across the board
I work at one of those bunkers as a Parkour and Trampoline acrobacy coach!
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.
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.
6:35 "positional demands" from what i've gathered, many people think that getting Karelia back now wouldnt make sense since the infrastructure is basically non existent and there are no finnish people left in the area. It would cost billions to rebuild and relocate people
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.
In that merihaka bunker there is also floorball field too!
I was surprised at the commonalities with swiss defense doctrine. Did the fins and swiss develop them independently or was one inspired from the other? Unfortunately we don't have huge expanses of buffer zone to exploit
Swiss landscape is literally built like a fortress. Wooded mountains all around and surrounded by friendly states thus far most of which are in NATO and are quite capable militarily themselves.
Finnish Defence Planners modeled much of the total defense and civil defense strategies on Switzerland post WW2.
Considering Swiss has lots of mountain passage choke points covered by walls of mountains and protected by bunkers in mountains armed with canons is just perfect
even at this comment i still havent seen any comment mentioning the bunkers of albania
sure that they may be of lower quality, but they are nuclear bunkers regardless
I guess this is what neutrality looks like
Perfectly in line with Johnny Harris's vid
I remember when I was a kid in the 80's in Switzerland and it was FULL of modern bunkers too.
Oh yeah I went to that playground at 0:01, nice place except that I didn’t have 2€ for one of the bouncy ball machiens

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?

Right choice!
**Techno viking keeping dance**
That Karelian issue is bit far from reality. Most of finns who lived there are already dead including my grand father. Nobody wants that forested area with totally crap infra and tons of russians to live here and taken care of to have even decent living conditions. Rebuilding would be so hard after so many years of total fkery is too much.
Yeah getting the lost Karelian territory back would be the quickest way to ruin Finnish economy
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.
This sounds very familiar from a Swiss perspective. Some bridges and infrastructure used to have active charges, that have since been removed. One of them was supposedly a bridge reaching over the swiss/german border without the germans knowing about it. I don't know if that part is true or just soldier-chatter.
Our bridges are like that, too. The terrain here is not easy for vehicles, so the Russians would be forced into bottle necks and their advancement could be stopped with blowing up bridges.
A lot of people have allergies, especially to cats, and shelters have very limited supplies of medication. Animals would also require scarce food and water that could go towards feeding people, so they could cause trouble between pet-owners and the rest of the people. Plus, they are more prone to make the closed area unsanitary because of their urine and feces. So in the grand scheme of things it is be better to abandon the pets, grieve the loss in the bunker and then just get new pets after the war.
Also they would take much of that lot needed space while they would also have to be kepts seperate from each other, but still have ability and freedom to move around.
It's impossible task to have, it's impossible to control such scenario or whole another city would be need to build under the city.
Also I want to add that they would increase contagion from one to another, especially in such closed tight spaces.
Leaving the Puppe dog outside would be away from the Puppe.
Taking the Puppe dog inside would be away from multiple humans.
Most excellent to read an intelligent post from someone who completely 'gets it"! Thank you and well said!
People who are allergic to animals aren't really gonna be useful genetically to rebuilding humanity post-nuke, so they get a bullet to the mouth from me if they try and do anything to my shit.
@@patriot9487 Fear not, I do not think anyone wants to do anything to your shit. Civilized people just flush it.
@@tukkajumala how clever 🙄
umm, actually, the one bunker you talked about in the beginning IS actually designed to survive a direct hit.
Thx for the info!
Many bunkers are built to have direct hit by nuclear weapons, and to survive it
The planning and preparedness of that nation is a ten out of ten
Hey NWYT since ryancdx and me are the true VIPS able to watch this video can we get a shout out in your next long video? 😅
Count me too lmao
Maybe ;)
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.
Also if you do not go into the army when the time comes then the police Will literally come and pick you Up and take you there, if you Still refuse you Will be given a sentence.
welp
sounds all similar to the conscription experience here in VN (we too live near an horrible neighbor)
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.
The clip at 9:17 is from Finnish Defense Forces' video.
We are not afraid, we are prepared.
My parents were refugees from the lost territory, so of course I am an officer in reserve and prepared.
