Iltalehti: Wide sensations

"This is war" titled the popular tabloid "Iltalehti" the next day after the demonstrations. Iltalehti dedicated two first pages for the demonstrations. The two persons with Russian flag presented in the photograph are however not representants of the organisers of the pickets but local Russians. 

The Internet-version of Iltalehti said Estonians are falsifying history by opening a new front of information war in Helsinki:

Suomen Kuvalehti condemned film of Edvins Snore

The printed version of right-wing magazine "Suomen Kuvalehti" dedicated four pages to the demonstrations. The editorial condemned the action. Two-page photograph labelled the demonstration as Russian chauvinist action. Commentary by the famous anti-Russian historian in Finland Seppo Zetterberg said that Estonia was "occupied" country and that the "Soviet occupation" was worse than Nazi occupation. 

In its Internet-version, Suomen Kuvalehti published photographs of Maksim Reva, Dmitri Linter and Mark Siryk during the press-conference of the Finnish anti-fascist committee:

Suomen Kuvalehti writes about Nashi-demonstrations in Helsinki against the film "The Soviet Story". The journalist got interested in the film because of the demonstrations. He writes the film is extremely tasteless propaganda and very good example of bad human emotions: http://suomenkuvalehti.fi/blogit/kuvien-takaa/millainen-elokuva-saa-putin-nuoret-osoittamaan-mielta-helsingissa

Newspaper Kansan Uutiset: "Fight about Estonia's history moved into Helsinki"

Finnish leftist newspaper Kansan Uutiset says Finnish, Estonian and Russian antifascists gained lot of media attention in Helsinki with pickets against Estonian and Latvian apartheid policy. There were much more journalists than demonsrtators present. Protestors said there was no Soviet occupation of Estonia, and the purpose of the occupation myth is to legitimize the anti-Russian apartheid-policy of the country. Dmitri Linter says Estonia is not democratic country. Maksim Reva says about cultural genocide of Russian people in Estonia. Johan Bäckman and Leena Hietanen said pro-nazi writing and marching are common in Estonia and Latvia. Mark Siryk said Estonia and Latvia try to bring Finland into cold war, which is information war against Russia.

Voima-tabloid: "Perfect spectacle from Russia"

"Small spectacle from Russia", wrote the Finnish leftist tabloid "Voima". The spectacle by Russian demonstrators was "perfect", writes Ville Ropponen, the well-known Russia-correspondent of Finland. Also the Islamic party of Finland protested against Estonian apartheid and falsification of history. The Russian youth said Soviet Union did not occupy Estonia.

Many could only dream of the attention Nashi and Nochnoi Dozor received in Finland: the press wrote about the pickets already a week before. Oksana Chelysheva writes Nashi made a great mistake when joinig Nochnoi Dozor for Finland. Chelysheva, who is "political refugee" from Russia staying in Finland, writes very critically about Johan Bäckman and Maksim Reva.
