Millions of Russians live in Finnish built town Viiburg, which is not very far away from St. Petersburg, and there are lots of constructions which have been left in ruins and never remontered.
Still Russians live in these ruins.
They are bringing removable heateners to the buildings. They warm it up with wood. Water comes from wells.
Example: Russian construction man Sergei Kotsenko who lives with cats. His premises are in Suomenvesi -street and the house was built by Finns in the year 1940.
Sergei Jegorov lives in beautiful forest in a hand made housing, which was made by Finns.
It was extremely difficult to find his house.
He takes water from self made wells. There is even a Finnish sauna which he uses. This house was deemed as unsuitable for living only 13 years ago. Many others were deemed unsuitable already 30 years ago.
Russians ruin everything except they really make great vacuum tubes and CW Straight Keys.

>Finns built a Russian city
What the fuck does this mean?
Sebastian Martinez
Viipuri would have probably been an important and prosperous city in modern Finland if it weren't for Stalin chimping out. Honestly, the Winter War may have been a doomed cause, but it should be a source of pride for Finns and a source of embarrassment for Russians. I would have just given back Petsamo and Viipuri, and perhaps thrown in all of Karelia if I were the Russian president after the breakup of the USSR.
Juan Nguyen
Occupied Karjala.
Carter Jackson
Makes sense, the Baltic were also given away by Russians and these areas were occupied by Soviet
Brayden Moore
Hows come that ladder grew, or did the building shrink?
Robert Walker
>mfw a murican knows finnish history better than a finn does
Oliver Gutierrez
Funland was a part of the Russian empire for long. Everything you guys have over there was build by Russian, including your resistance to hard liquor. It's time for the Finns remember who they are and come home.
Carter Hughes
I wrote two history books about Finland, serkku.
Hudson Smith
Russia, it's like a snowy Africa.
Jayden Miller
Seems like the ladder was too tall to begin with. Maybe a factory fuck up or the ladder was meant for a different building.
That's neat. What were the topics?
Ayden Flores
checked What are the books?
Jayden Morgan
The History of Telecommunications in Finland and Post WWII Shipbuilding in the Finnish Maritime Cluster.

B-b-bbut russia didndunuffin! Could you please return finnmark to russia? Its all the butthurt's belt fault that russia is so poor!! How dare they cut off russia from their gdp!
Camden Rodriguez
In their defence I'll say it would've happened the same with spaniards... Guess you guys are surrounded by niggers.
Andrew Diaz
Communism is the worst drug you can find. Russians are now paying the price.
Christopher Baker
I'm not sure if having Finnmark would do much for Russian GDP.
Josiah Brooks
>Russians are now paying the price They've been paying it since the 20s. It's the gift that keeps on taking. With jews you lose.

isnt all the oil right there? or gold?

Would you like to see my 1888 English-Finnish edition of Kalevala transcribed (poorly) by John Martin Crawford or my Esa-Pekka Salonen autograph?
In American ghettos niggers live in houses built by European immigrants in what were once nice white neighborhoods. Some of the houses are over a hundred years old and would be beautiful if we could only kick out all the niggers and reclaim and restore our history.
Wyatt Edwards
I bet the government would be helping those American niggers to manage better and still they live in ruins
In Russia, the government will send no help at all
Sebastian Harris
73s, bro. Russki tubes are indeed the best for both radio equipment and amplifiers. Those things will survive a nuclear holocaust; the top ones would be considered military grade in the US (and I suspect our government is still using Russian-sourced vacuum tubes in certain legacy and select hardened equipment).
William Baker
>Temple of Lemminkäinen That's my favorite AD&D module!
Alexander Morgan
So some poor Russians are living in a Finnish ruin. What's your point?
Cameron Harris
Are you retarded? Literally nothing is built by ryssäs that's why there is such a massive gap in wealth between finland and russia.
Isaiah King
they live in Finnish built ruins, which would not be ruins, if they would have been taking better care of these constructions
lets face it, Finland has some towns with 500 year old buildings where people are still able to live in

>too tall to begin with. Maybe a factory fuck up or the ladder was meant for a different building. I shit you not, I've been to Viiburg. Went there by train.
Train stops outside of town. Look outside, see the most run down dilapidated building you've ever seen. Looks like if a bird lands on it it's going to collapse.
>What's that building? Why are we stopped?
>That's the border control headquarters. They'll check our passports before we enter the city.
Most of the city was like that. The only buildings that were in remotely good shape were old Finnish built buildings. Most buildings looked like they were ready to be condemned.
I don't really understand it. Lots of countries have buildings far older, and they're kept in a state of repair.
Why do Russian buildings universally look like they need to be torn down?
Samuel Ramirez

Jackson Adams
>Millions of Russians live in Finnish built town Viiburg
I am pretty sure Viborg is a reletively small city. Mabe 200k inhabitants.
Carter Davis
Finnish superior autismo.
Caleb Hughes
Sounds like Putin should liberate these ethnic Russians from Finn oppression.
Cameron Roberts
So basically Finland BTFO'd Russia and then felt so bad for them that they built them a city, which is now Eastern Europe's detroit?
Why are Russians such niggers? And why aren't we building the wall in Finland?
Evan Mitchell
Shit you not, the US has several places similar to this populated with blacks in the South, Mexicans in the West and natives in the Great Plains.
Juan Murphy
>Millions of Russians live in Finnish built town Viiburg >Population: 79,962 >pic related is an actual town
Alright, we get it, you are butthurt about lost territories, but next time atleast try not to exaggerate this much, because it destroys any point you want to make and makes you look even more retarted.
Noah Baker
No, Viipuri was a Finnish town before the ruskies invaded and took it.
Tyler King
>really make great vacuum tubes I have a tube amp for my bass and I've always wanted to try Russian tubes.
Connor Nguyen
they have reverse hand of midas. Everything valuable they touch turn to shit.
Lucas Ortiz
That sucky Russian F1 driver is from that city.
Tyler Lewis
Kind of reminds me of those memes where 50 years after colonianism niggers are living in ruins of white civilization.
>Maybe it's time to watered toiled in the house? >But why?
Jason Nelson
It has like 80k inhabitants according to a 2010 census. Funny thing is, it was as big in 1939 before the war. Back then it was the second largest Finnish city. It probably would've remained to grow and keep that ranking had it been left in Finnish hands after the war. Instead its modern population is as big as it used to be almost 80 years ago.
Carter Davis
My grandfather's brother participated in building a dam to Jäniskoski. He and many other builders died to stomach cancer later on. My father suspects that the Soviets used small nukes for digging on some of the building sites.
Josiah Harris
This
They did the same thing to the Kuril Islands, even though there were only like 500 people living there. At least they were Japanese and well-mannered. The current inhabitants are all dirty vodkaniggers with Lenin statues everywhere, it looks like a goddamn slum.
Carson Moore
Soviets used Kuril Islands for military purposes, not civilian. Why people live there now I don't know. Probably has something to do with fishing and maritime.
Nathan Hughes
>Viiburg
You mean Viipuri which is called Vyborg by the occupation Russian government? I don't know anything about Viiburg
Viipuri still has a library designed by Aaro Alte if I'm not mistaken

I have a question, why did the Russian Communists never use Christianity in their ideology? Wouldn't it make sense to since Christianity supports the notion of living humbly instead of richly? Why specifically target those most likely to embrace their ideology?
Logan Bennett
>Aaro Alte You mean Alvar Aalto? I have a table and a few chairs designed by him.
Hudson Barnes
>Why do Russian buildings universally look like they need to be torn down? The wonders of communism. The bolschevists destroy all the smart russians and people who were good at stuff.
Jordan Clark
So you immigrate from mexico to the US a nation build by white people and then you piss on russians. You south american immigrants are one piece of work, let's see how you would live back in mexico that your people built. That you live like this says nothing about your people or yourself. Since you're just a parasite relying on the hospitality of others.
Jace Fisher
>I have a question, why did the Russian Communists never use Christianity in their ideology? Wouldn't it make sense to since Christianity supports the notion of living humbly instead of richly? Why specifically target those most likely to embrace their ideology? The communist were jews and the jews hated christianity and the russian people and want to destroy western civilization in case you haven't figured that out yet. Communism had nothing to do with the russians themselves. Infact the term 'racism' was invented by the bolshevist jews because the actual russians keep finding them out as jews eventhough they were using fake names. youtube.com/watch?v=GuOHI0WwEdY So they had to make it a terrible thing to distinguish between people from different areas than your own nation.

Not all but quite a lot of the most smart ones of them. It's how communism works, destroy smart people, give their shit to stupid people. Let stupid people run everything untill the whole shit collapses, and enact totalitarian regime to maintain control, but atleast you were about 'equality'.
Ian Kelly
Why are you proud of communism instead of being proud of being russian? Communism destroyed russia.
Tyler Johnson
The discussion was just about the housing, not communism or national identity.
Justin Sanchez
Maybe the Russians who would take care of them are off preserving Russian architecture, or making their own. It's not that surprising.
Jace Hall
Not even kidding I think the guy is literally Iranian/Mexican mongrel with some Irish thrown in. He posts here all the time.
Eli Cooper
I hate Alvar Aalto from bottom of my heart. His design is ugliest shit ever created but still he is appreciated like god. Everything he had designed is protected and you are not allowed to renovate buildings to be more practical. Alvar Aalto was a mistake!
Evan Green
>The discussion was just about the housing, not communism or national identity. Ok fair enough. Wew that picture is almost out of some dystopian novel. >oh you want a personal identity? we painted your block a different color. haha. It represents the illusion of equality that communism tries to peddle. Anyone who is even slightly better than someone else gets their shit confiscated for being burgois. So then people are scared of doing something great, so they don't.
Anthony Jenkins
worse then LA burbs.
Blake Thompson
Yeah that one
I dislike modernism but I like Finland so he's somewhat ok in my book. I have an ashtray by his design, it was gifted to me by my father, he got it from one of his business trips to Finland. Paper industry has its advantages

It's actually Vyborg in English.
Anyway, the train ride from Finland to St. Petersburg is pretty interesting, since there are a lot of these houses that look pretty much abandoned next to the tracks.
Kayden Brown
No, you are just a cuck. It's a Finnish city and was never built to be a Russian city, you fool.
Zachary Robinson
Viipuri näyttää kyllä esteettisesti silti viehättävämmältä kuin iso osa Tampereesta
It's Vyborg in English because it's part of Russia now. If it wasn't, the English name for it would be Viipuri.
Adrian Thomas
And you managed to get back to communism, while I was telling you that we've had better housing (still shitty, but better) under communists than we have under whatever it is we have now. Oh, and commies at least had the decency to give out their shitty housing for free, these monstrosities you have to get a mortgage for, which you'll be paying for half your life.
Dylan Gomez
I was just saying that, because at least if I remember correctly, Viiborg just brings up some city in denmark if you google it
Ryder Harris
Looks pretty aesthetic desu
Liam Russell
>dick-shaped appartment block >Finn finds it aesthetic
Levi Martinez
I heard if you own khrushovka and government tears it down you get a new apartment for free is this true?
Evan Davis
Wwii would have ended better if the Finns had gone toe-to-toe with the USSR and invaded and occupied St. Petersburg. At that time of the winter war, Stalin had purged everyone that had any intelligence or experience in an effort to eliminate all possible challenges to his power. USSR was a sitting duck. Am I right?
Joshua Williams
You must have a sharp dick.
Joshua Richardson
Yes, typical russoniasm at work here. They can only destroy, not even preserve, let alone build.
Daniel Brown
I guess it was just autistic responce and language-issues combined.
Jonathan Butler
Well, It was Finns who built anyways, ruskies mostly gathered some tolls and that's about it.
David Rivera
>Honestly, the Winter War may have been a doomed cause, but it should be a source of pride for Finns and a source of embarrassment for Russians. Why should Russians be embarrassed for Soviets? Winter War was a learning experience. When it finally ended Soviets takes the most profitable parts of Finland and cucks them to have the shitholes that they have today.
