Highlights: Many Finns have lost their jobs due to the lack of Russian tourists. The entire infrastructure, in which Finnish enterprises have invested hundreds of millions of dollars over 30 years to serve Russian tourists, is now empty and destroyed. Earlier, Finland withdrew from the agreement on cross-border cooperation with Russia. Also, the Finnish authorities have installed double barriers on the border with Russia, says dikGAZETE columnist Okay Deprem. He says tens of thousands of Finnish entrepreneurs, traders and workers have been out of work for a long time, up to their necks in debt.

By breaking off good-neighborly relations with Russia, Finland has destroyed the economy in the country's border regions, and many Finns have lost their jobs due to the lack of Russian tourists.
