>Slavery affected Finland more than it affected Africa - A bleak estimate from a historian
>- In just one winter day a few thousand Finns died on the snowy fields of a village called Napue.
>According to Keskisarja, the bloodiest day in the war history of Finland was a day in February in 1714 during the Great wrath.
>The great wrath was truly a great wrath - The most brutal war from many candidates in the history of Finland. The old folk is truly right about that.
>From Finland's population of 400 000, 30 000 women and children were also taken to be sold. It was downright slavery. Keskisarja states that proportionally Finland suffered more from slavery than any African country.
Once again, the eternal r*ssian denies his crimes.
Bentley Perry
Crimea is rightfully Finnish because Finnish slaves built it
Landon Mitchell
>sw*den forces to war and r*ssia enslaves ~13% of the population you're both guilty
Nathaniel Garcia
gib reparations now
Kevin Reed
>spoils of war >guilty Well, it would've been the same for everyone, it's not like you are special or something. That's just the thing that happened. Later you were granted autonomy, and got your language and culture preserved by Russia.
John Cook
>.fi into the trash it goes also slavery is not bad if it affects white people
John Clark
Does this look like a white person to you?
James Martinez
You are lucky that you defeated this shit in 1918 and 1940, otherwise you would be like estonia, if not worse
Evan Brown
>slavery is not bad if it affects white people this. op is privileged white trash who has the audacity to belittle black slavery. truly ashamed to even share a country with such people.
Connor Evans
It's all good now. Atleast we got few Russians and Ukrainians whose ancestors were here causing the trouble to fertilize our bordersoil in ww2
Luis Fisher
More and more stupid lies are being spread by brainwashed finngolians...
William Morales
>op is privileged white trash finngolians are not white, it's we who are white colonizers who should be guilty for eternity for our crimes just as G*rmans are. Truly R*sstards and G*rmtads are the worst among fucking wh*ties.
John Robinson
>Russians >white
Lay off the Vodka, Tatarov.
Jackson Turner

Oliver Collins
Russia should offer Karelia back to Finland to make amends....dead serious....the world would(for once)respect Russia..if anything if would be great PR
Nolan James
slave comes from word slav, we never got any reparations wtf
Hudson Robinson
Retarded paradox player
Dominic King
agreed. but current government won't do that unfortunately
Adrian Mitchell
it would only be a burden, everything Russia touches turns into shit
Luke Cox
It really depends on whether the local Russians are removed or not. Karelia is a really beautiful place, more than any other part of Finland. It could attract tourists if Finns were in control.
Connor Torres
Finland is shit as well since it was controlled by the Empire. So Karelia wouldn't stand out too much.
Jaxon Harris
>Reparations when, Russia? For what lol.
Finland under Russian rule proudly sent their men to trample any national efforts and uprisings of other parts of the Empire. All their war heroes put their hand into making sure other slaves remain slaves. Main street of Helsinki is named after a fucking Russian Emperor.
A. Mickiewicz described the Finns as "born slaves, cherishing their shackles and blindly following orders".
Austin Walker
>A. Mickiewicz described the Finns as "born slaves, cherishing their shackles and blindly following orders". Prove him wrong
Daniel Peterson
>Finland under Russian rule proudly sent their men to trample any national efforts and uprisings of other parts of the Empire
We didn't. There was just a handful of Finland-Swedish career soldiers in the service of the Czar. Finns were never conscripted.
Nicholas Wright
Karelia never belonged to Finland. You could give us Alaska back, though. Maybe the world will respect you for once.
Christian Green
Finland is not shit because it's inhabitated by Finns and not Russians
Adam Bell
That was when Russia respected their deals with Finland. We were an autonomous part of the Empire. When Russians started breaking the deals we stopped being loyal.
Jason Allen
>A.Miczczczck I don't have to prove shit to a plumber
Nolan Anderson
When Finns talk about Karelia we don't mean the "republic" but the stolen land where our grandparents were born.
James Watson
>Finns were never conscripted Because Emperors were retarded. If only your population was thoroughly culled.
Jacob Clark
Modern Russians are not even descendants of slave owners who were only 2% of the population. So this is irrelevant to us.
Julian Gomez
Your whole "country" is stolen.
Hudson Howard
I wouldn't call something that earns ~15x times more on average than russian "shit"
Christopher Wood
Speak for yourself
Josiah Fisher
Actually even unemployed neets can earn 3-5x more.
Josiah Lee
Deals? You were imperial subjects. Your only "deal" was to pay taxes and be obedient to Russian masters.
Carson Morris
This to be honest. For the most part of the history, most Russians were "serfs" which is a polite word for slave. Obiviously, what happend to Fins was bad, but as another Russian already pointed out, it was a war of agression started by Sweden, and taking war booty was normal back in those less civilized days
Carter Anderson
Finland was the most developed part of the empire. Our masters were not the retarded serfs that spawned you subhumans but the German elite anyway. Russian empire was a German empire.
Benjamin Moore
>From Finland's population of 400 000, 30 000 women and children were also taken to be sold Who would even buy a Finn, lol
Ryan Cruz
>Russian masters.
As in the autocrat of all russians (Tsar). Normal russians and landowners weren't even allowed to settle here unless they were diplomats, politicians or investors.
Finland was a backwater shithole and your masters were Russians. We literally had to teach you how to build cities, lmao
Xavier Hill
>it was a war of agression started by Sweden
Asher Reyes
>we stopped being loyal. >being loyal in the first place Mickiewicz was right. Born slaves, cherishing their shackles.
Gavin Phillips
BHAH!
How does someone who can't even read teach anything?
Easton Mitchell
>weren't even allowed to settle here No one wanted to settle there, Finland had nothing of worth other then being a buffer between Russia and Sweden.
Luis Ramirez
Yes deal. Emperor Alexander I gave us autonomy and we gave him our loyalty.
When Russians started breaking the deal at the end of 19th century the deal became void and Finland was morally right in seeking independence.
Jonathan Hall
ok sorry i was wrong but sweden had basically won the war, but then they decided it was good idea to invade russia, and thus they lost.
John Ortiz
Yet the tsar Nikolai I and Alexander II called it the jewel of the empire.
It drew in literally most of the foreign investments in the whole empire due to the difference in economic rule which was capitalized and not heavily state controlled like in rest of the empire.
It's funny how you lack the simplest understanding of your own history, or maybe you do but your so blinded by some russian neo-nationalistic bullshit it makes you look like a grade a dumbass.
Thomas Mitchell
Why are you so rude to your finnish neighbours? You both were subjects to same masters, nothing there to brag about
Evan Turner
Because we had such low manpower and population that it would have been impossible to defend our borders for an extended period of time. And accepting any Russian offer of peace was pointless because Peter I wanted his warm port in the Baltic and would do anything to get it. The only way to permanently end the conflict was to kill or depose him and have a puppet Tsar crowned.
Evan Lee
>We cringed
as this guy stated literacy rate was even lower among russians. and vast majority of us russians were pathetic slaves and probably had even fewer rights than the finns did
Oliver Myers
>You both were subjects to same masters We were their masters
Samuel Miller
Poor Finns ;_; Russians are subhuman, but everybody knows that.
Nathaniel Fisher
You were no master, Ivan, you were a serf
well, good thing you didn't won then, cause Peter was one of the few good Tsars Russia had
William Mitchell
Giving an autonomy to Finland was one of most idiotic things ever. Instead of integrating them completely, now we have a retarded hostile country, full of morons who don't even know that Finland was literally created by Russians out of thin air.
Hunter Hughes
Karl XII was also one of Swedens better monarchs.
Julian Clark
...
Matthew Edwards
I wish every single F*nn was killed in that war desu. World would be a much better place.
Christopher Reed
Good thing i descend from german-swedish nobility. Had ancestors as officers in the imperial army and landowners in Sweden before that.
Bow to me slav(es), by thy logic i'm inherently above you.
Camden Robinson
But autonomous Finland was a loyal subject of the empire. It wasn't until YOU started breaking the deal that there started to be hostility between Finland and Russia.
Nolan Hughes
Funny how Finland-Swedes have never taken DNA tests and came out majority non-Finnish
Justin Campbell
actually, grand duchy of finland remained as tsarist entity while rest of the russia left the empire with bolsheviks and formed soviet union
Dominic Parker
Finns should appreciate they didn't live under communism
John Stewart
I've taken 2 from different sites since i got interested about my heritage from reading old familyrecords.
Literally don't care about the subject in other sense than maybe sometimes jokingly bragging about bein bättrefolk yacht-club... person. I don't even know swedish.
Nathaniel Martinez
The very fact that you had any autonomy is ridiculous. You should've been completely integrated and Russified, but imperial administration was full of short-sighted morons. Now we have anorher hostile european country right at the doorstep. Great job, Russian Empire.
Robert James
russians are niggers finns are niggers
Oliver Lopez
Uhrikompleksipostaus nro. 56149
Isaiah Ortiz
This is the general view back here. What we would get back is some sort of irradiated wasteland full of rural Russians, Soviet architecture and a few broken down, graffiti-painted, past-repair remnants of a better age.
Cooper Cox
>Now we have anorher hostile european country right at the doorstep. I wonder why every Russian neighbor is hostile towards Russia. Funny coincidence that keeps on happening again and again and again. It's a conspiracy! Everyone's out to get Russia!
Alexander Wood
Et taida tietää mitä uhrikompleksi tarkoittaa
Ian Turner
If you hadn't tries russificiation Finland wouldn't be a hostile neighbour.
Joseph Roberts
well they fought against commies and even though they lost a part of their country they won the right to stay independent and free of communism.
it's funny that just 100 years ago finland was a part if russia and now they are one of the richest nations on earth, yet quite safe and have a relatively small number of muslim immigrants on their soil while russia is still a poor shithole overrun by muslims, even a neighbouring sweden has significantly more muslims than finland. history is truly a strange thing
Mason Lopez
Your people are being genocided as we speak. G*rmanics shall soon cease to exist.
Tyler Kelly
existing as a separate entity from russia counts as hostility? is the only solution to end the hostilities to have russia absorb nation after nation on its new borders until whole world is russian?
Zachary Rogers
>was full of short-sighted morons.
They were highly calculative politicians desu. Finland was the most western part when it was acquired (culturally) it was protestant, Literate and the common populace was already highly uneasy and conscious due to enlightenment. Given that they'd gone harsh for it most of the old nobility would've emigrated back to Sweden and the Tsar needed that nobility and it's loyalty more than ever.
Grayson Perry
And Finland even isn't but they still view us so. Just last week Putin was here for an opera visit and dined with the president.
Jackson Hall
We didn't have any autonomy, a bunch of Germanic aristocrats claiming to be Finns had autonomy.
Ethnic Finns and ethnic Russians had pretty good relations in imperial times, it's the different results of the Civil War that fucked everything up.
Adam Brooks
But Finns on Sup Forums seem to be pretty hostile against Russia
Alexander Phillips
>I wonder why every Russian neighbor is hostile towards Russia That's europeans for you. You still can't get over the fact that you never managed to genocide us.
Joshua Wright
Without r*ssia it certainly would be. We have unironically never done anything bad to anyone. Maybe we're just too naive and need to start killing everyone around us asap, being "nice" is not the way to go in this shitty fucking world
James Reyes
Is there any nation we aren't hostile towards here? You should see our Youtube comments. There was this one black girl just beauty-blogging. Comments were nothing but nigger this and nigger that.
Cooper Scott
>posts pic of fennoswede top cuck
Ryan Wilson
>is the only solution to end the hostilities to have russia absorb nation after nation on its new borders until whole world is russian? if only
Landon Sanchez
But it is you who tried to genocide us first.
Matthew Anderson
russia as a nation yes but i dont have anything against russians on individual level. governments dont represent its people even if it's "democratic"
Nathan Nguyen
>Reparations Lol, fuck off, Pekka. Never.
Jayden Myers
You aren't hostile towards Germany
Xavier Carter
That's because whenever I see the German flag here I assume it's a Turk and don't bother even replying.
Justin Gutierrez
no reparations, when the next european great war comes around, finland will invade russia and level moscow with the ground
Wyatt Torres
Good to hear. Because this thread makes it almost seem as if the Finns here hated the Russian people
Wow that was uncalled for
Eli Morris

Jonathan Mitchell
Russians are whiter than Finns.
Joseph James
Kirghiz have 70% R1a. I guess they are whiter than Lithuanians.
