An official photo of members of the Karjalan ryhmä, a group of fighters in both Ukraine and Karelia. In this photo they are honouring the Finnish Jaeger battalion from WW1 and the WW2 Finnic Tribal Battalion.
I’m going to be posting the more nice looking photos from them time to time to remind everyone in Finland, and in Estonia that the Karelian and Ingrians are literally fighting and dying every day so our brothers can be free. That too it’s also our responsibility to stop seeing Karelia and Ingria as gone, but rather brother victims of russia that we have a duty to help, just like Ukraine.
Ukraina vois olla liittymättä natoon tai antaa alueen Venäjän haltuun. Simppeliä, meidänkään ei olisi tarvinnut liittyä Natoon, nato on homoille
This could just as well be a propaganda campaign from the Kremlin, linked directly with the [“Karelian National Movement”](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Karelian_National_Movement). The Karelians in Russian Karelia are a dying people who only make up a small minority of the population and have no autonomy. I’ve written about this same battalion and movement a couple times, but I can’t really recall what I said.
One thing I can remember though; they don’t call themselves the “soldiers of Greater Finland” and plast Russophobic stickers around Karelia for no reason. It’s meant to provoke Russian citizens and portray Finland and the Karelians as aggressive and Russophobic. There’s also been edited pictures of soldiers to make them appear as Finns who support the secession of Karelia, again for the same purpose.
While I also agree that _Karjala on oleva vapaa_, I don’t really believe in this. But I don’t know what to believe and what not to anymore either, so take all this with a grain of salt.
