Enough lakes to provide romantic inspiration for any poet or painter. Our geography classes in High School never took much interest in Finland's landforms or the reasons for its 60,000 lakes. Thanks for this history lesson, which shows the very important deep water port which was subsequently ceded to the then Soviet Union in September 1945, leaving the north of the country land-locked. What a shame War is . . . Greetings from Chiang Mai, Thailand.
Minä asun etelä-suomessa ja olen ollut aina ylpeä siitä. Hieno video. I live in South Finland and I am always proud of it. Nice vid. Kiitos and Thanks.
The roads were perfectly good enough for those years of low-volume traffic. We had unmade (gravel) roads throughout all of rural Australia until the 1960's. Some interconnecting roads will not be paved for a further half century in my opinion, nor should they be. Gotta maintain some country romance for day trippers.
it´s Liinahamari, not Liinakhamari. The original name of Liinahamari is Skolt Sámi it was Lin'amraš. Lin means fishing line (longline) and amra = hammer (Norwegian) = mountain reef.
Novadays reindeers have replaced cows lazyli staring passing cars. Also less than 10 years after this film a lot of Lapland was burned down during WW2.
our ancestors prob knew but with a small economy you cant do much and well at the time of the winter war soviets hoped to do fssr but reds failed and we have our beautiful country today

A comment from Finland... mostly accurate, somewhat better road now.

The Winter War 1939-1940

Actually I meant Continuation war. ruclips.net/video/QHp7hXYTbLE/видео.html
@@winstonsmith478 theres also the continuation war followed by the Lapland war
Liinahamari was ceded and became a Soviet, and then Russian North Fleet base, they even have a song about it.
If only they knew what was coming. I'm surprised that the Soviets didn't insist on making it the FSSR after the war. Glad they didn't...
