Summary

Headline: Russians protest in Helsinki against Finnish-Russian border closures

Short Summary: Russian nationals protested in Helsinki against border closures with Russia. The protest is framed as self-interested and lacking awareness of larger issues.

Description

A group of Russians protested in Finland against the closure of border crossings. The protest was criticized as being self-interested, with commentary noting Russians protest restrictions impacting themselves but not actions of their home country. The protest took place in front of a government building, likely the Finnish Parliament.

Evidence

Quotes

Russians, yet again, totally unable to read the room while protesting in Finland against border crossing closures.
There is still no one among them that thinks: 'Doesn't it look bad if we only protest for petty, self-interested stuff that is harmful to our host country's security and with imperialist sentiment while we are never seen protesting against the genocide our own country is responsible for?'
