looks like these people were forcefully relocated about a hundred years ago. But that story is probably finnished
A real treehouse.
Oh a good Finnish house.
Karelia is Finland
Russia is not part of Europe. Russia is part of Asia
How common is in Karelia that old residental building was made of stone? I think Karelians lived in log houses. This was probably some kind of administrative building.
It hasn’t burned, and without burning it takes tens of years for roof to fall in after abandonment, and those birches inside are at least 20 years old. This house was abandoned long time ago. Maybe after Winter War.
K? Karelia is Serbia
Those who know, those who don’t know…
abstract fire
Looks like DayZ
*Karelia, Russia*
Saatana lyänkö?
I adore the abandoned mansions of Europe! Why are the urban explorers not more popular? Teaching us about our worlds history & culture < vapid celebrity “reality”cooking/dancing series!
It’s sad that most of Finland doesn’t even want Karelia back at this point due to the population being mostly Russian now (huge difficulty in integration if it was just “given back,” especially economically)
It should have never been forcefully taken to begin with. Just like Estonia being occupied as long as it was. They have their own culture and language, leave them be.
The title hurts me a bit. My grandfather was born in Karelia when it was part of Finland.
Interesting there’s a mown path around it. I wonder who’s visiting it so regularly, to just drive in a circle around it?
The proof that this subreddit is filled with hypocritical Russophobes is the number of heavily upvoted comments supporting Finnish irredentism and claiming that a people who haven’t voted, protested or revolted for independence should immediately have it shoved down their throats.
