Finland arrests Russian ultra-nationalist wanted in Ukraine for war crimes
meduza.io
Finnish police have arrested the Russian Yan Petrovsky, a leader of neo-Nazi paramilitary group “Task Force Rusich,” who is wanted in Ukraine on suspicion of committing war crimes in the Donetsk and Luhansk regions in 2014–2015. According to media reports, Kyiv has already requested Petrovsky’s extradition.
If he likes Russia so much, why didn't he just stay home?
Because war is cool until the others are winning. I guess.
Scandinavian stuff is like a magnet for nazi idiots. Vikings, runes, groups like Burzum (see Varg Vikernes), white majority in the country, nortern nature, isolation and safety to form clubs or even parties for them. It's like a Disneyland for him.
And after a while, when he was deported, he probably wanted to get back, as in his country nazism is controlled and only useful, submissive strays are safe to be. Becoming too influential or talking against the party line is a punishable offence. At least a couple of big neonazi\alt-right turds got suicided in recent decade for acting up, and I wasn't following them closely. If only it wasn't in history books.
Finland isn't Scandinavian but granted I wouldn't trust a Nazi to know that.
Fits because even Finnish Nazis don't seem to know it.
But there's cold, and forests, and stuff!
Hmm…I wonder what the backstory is… Like was he living in Finland or came from another Schengen country? 🤔 AFAIK, Russian tourists are banned now from entering the country.
“Petrovsky, who was born in Irkutsk (Russia), moved to Norway in 2004. He was later stripped of his Norwegian permanent residence and deported in 2017.”
And then he tried to hide in Finland instead of returning to Russia.
Just so you get a feeling for what a shithole Russia is. The Russia he is supposed to love as a nationalist. From the oh so hated West.
Tourists, yes. But Russian citizens who fall under certain special groups are allowed to enter.

War crime perpetrators are an allowed group?
Hyvä tietolähde, kiitos!
Neat.
Good.
What's an 'ultranationalist'? Sounds worse than a 'supernationalist', but competitive with a 'meganationalist'
Kinda likes a nazi, but russian
I'm confused too. Guess, just nationalism is not enough.
I just know that meganationalist is 1000 times more nationalistic than kilonationalist. Alså 1000 times less nationalistic compared with giganationalists
