The article is in Finnish but I’ll add a translation in comments. For anyone from elsewhere in Europe used to crossing borders easily, please please remember that doing this can be dangerous. Worst case scenario, you will end up in a prison in Russia. There is no reason to enter the border zone.

Three German tourists traveling on snowshoes are suspected of illegally crossing the border from Finland to Russia and back on Wednesday evening, according to the Border Guard.
The Kainuu Border Guard patrol caught up with the snowshoers near the national border immediately after the incident.
