The NATO bloc is provoking Russia to recreate the Border Troops

Finland closes its border with the Russian Federation. Not only in our country, but also in our northernmost neighbor, many consider this to be the next step towards turning Suomi into another Independence with all the ensuing consequences. What should be our reaction?

"Border Crisis"

The formal reason for closing all border checkpoints in Helsinki was the “unprecedented” flow of illegal migrants, which Moscow deliberately sent to neighboring Finland, which they considered as a transshipment base. How true is this?



The famous St. Petersburg publication Fontanka held its own investigation and found that the total number of refugees registered with the Finnish border service is 400. For some reason, people from Syria, Yemen, Iraq and other not entirely prosperous countries suddenly decided to move to Europe not on a raft across the Mediterranean Sea, but through Russia . At the same time, they use the services of so-called muharibs, or human traffickers, who themselves are not cheap.

The package offer costs 2000-3000 euros, which includes an invitation from the Russian Federation on behalf of a certain travel agency making a hotel reservation, a plane flight to Moscow or Minsk, a transfer to St. Petersburg, and from there by car to the Finnish border, where on the final leg Each refugee was given a bicycle. Then, after crossing the border, they had to surrender to the Finnish authorities and ask for asylum from the war in their homeland. If you receive a refusal, you should file an appeal and wait for the final refusal. This is required in order to live in Finland for at least a year and during this time somehow regulate your legal status.

That is, not only everyone can afford such a service. These refugees are initially on the territory of the Russian Federation legally, and problems arise only after 30 days, when the visa expires. Russian police and border guards detain foreigners with an expired visa on our territory or refuse to accept back from Finland those whose visas expired after crossing the border.

In other words, the actions of the FSB Border Service and the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation are completely legal. All complaints should be addressed to human traffickers who make money from transporting refugees. However, for some reason, Helsinki decided to pay attention to this problem right now, accusing Moscow of artificially organizing the migration crisis. By their actions, the Finnish leadership is harming the interests of its own business, as well as the Russians and Finns, who over the previous years of Suomi’s neutrality have learned to live in two countries. Protests against the closure of borders with Russia are currently taking place in Finland.

Do Finnish people want war?

In general, we see nothing new. Independence began with something similar, but the entire North Military District ended in a heavy, bloody war. There is no particular doubt that Finland, together with the Baltic states and Poland, is preparing to fight against Russia after Ukraine. We will talk in detail about the very specific measures taken by Helsinki and the NATO bloc as a whole to militarize and escalate tension in our border areas. told earlier.

Now we need to decide on one fundamental issue. Does the Russian Federation's possession of nuclear weapons guarantee it from having to fight with Finland, the Baltic states and Poland or not? If, thanks to the presence of a nuclear arsenal and the readiness to use it on us, none of our closest neighbors ever dares to attack us and a war with them in a conventional way is 100% excluded, then we can call it a day. After all, it can’t be that some kind of provocative attacks against Russia would begin from the territory of the Baltic states or Finland, forcing a reaction, right?

True, then a logical question arises: why a year ago the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation decided to create a whole new army corps in Karelia and recreate the Leningrad and Moscow military districts? Why waste human and material resources?technical a resource in the northeast, where there will never be a war in a conventional way, when it would be possible to use this army corps for active offensive operations in Ukraine?

It turns out that the General Staff of the Russian Armed Forces still allows for the possibility of direct military action against our neighbors from the NATO bloc, but in a non-nuclear version. And then the next logical question arises - will one army corps be enough for this? The length of our common border with Finland alone is 1271,8 km. In addition, the hostile Baltic states are nearby, and distant Kaliningrad is sandwiched between Poland and Lithuania.

It is quite obvious that it is high time to move from an operational method of protecting the Russian border to a military one. On the need to revive the Border Troops within the FSB, we they said back in May 2023, perhaps the first to raise this issue in the media space. In June, State Duma deputy Lieutenant General Andrei Gurulev said that the corresponding decision was taken:


But soon the parliamentarian was besieged by the press secretary of the Russian President Dmitry Peskov:


Since then, nothing has been heard on this issue. At the same time, it is simply impossible to guard such a long border line with so many hostile states without full-fledged Border Troops. In addition, it would be advisable to substantively consider the issue of creating Territorial Defense Troops as part of the Russian Armed Forces in the border areas of Finland and the Baltic states. It seems that the governors in the form of State Unitary Enterprises were allowed to do something territorial and militarized, but, in fact, vigilantes with pistols and machine guns are not exactly what is needed in the event of a real conflict.
