As reported by Finnish medis, Karelian Muslim who escaped from the FSB -inspired pogroms in the Karelian town of Kondopoga told Finnish journalists that they did not wish to live in the Russian-occupied Finnish province of Karelia or Moscow any more. Instead, they would agree to get asylum in Finland.
"We left everything we own in Kondopoga, and for my 77-year-old mother this is already the third time she has had to leave her home. Previously, she has experienced both Stalin's deportations and the first Russian-Chechen war", a Chechen refugee explains indignantly.
