| Video Discription | Welcome to the journey through the region of Karelia, once a part of Finland, now nestled within the vast expanse of Russia. In this exploration, we delve deep into the rich Finnish heritage that lingers in the landscapes, architecture, and culture of Karelia, often overshadowed by the passage of time. As we traverse through picturesque landscapes and visit peculiar sites, we uncover the traces of a bygone era when Karelia was an integral part of Finland. From quaint villages to historic landmarks, we reveal the hidden gems that connect Karelia to its Finnish past. But this adventure is not just about history; it's also about the present. I provide an intimate look into life in Russia during the challenging times of sanctions imposed in 2022-2023. Through personal stories and encounters with locals, I gain insight into the resilience and adaptability of the people of Karelia as they navigate these turbulent times.
