Millions of rich Russians fled to Finland, now they need to invest, of course…

Honestly Finland should just deport all full Russian citizens right back over. Let them deal with what they voted for.

Only allow property leasing unless they forfeit citizenship to the terrorist nation.

And most are not sorry, they only don't want to be inconvenienced.

Lots of Russians didn't vote Putin. Especially the young. It's either get sent to jail to be tortured or go to the front and get tortured/die, be conscripted and die, volunteer and die, or flee.

OR stay and fight back.

With what? People protested in large numbers in 2012. Most people are in fear or apathetic. And Putin's goons have the firepower and media. Russia would need to be much weaker internally. Oddly, China doesn't have as tight a grip on its populace despite more resources.

People have been protesting in varying quantities and timeframes all year in Russia. There is still a sizable amount of people who are willing to fight back against Putin in Russia. Letting the wealthy escape sanctions by fleeing to unsanctioned countries defeats part of the purpose of saod sanctions.

Same as saying "be tortured and die."

So send them back armed. There is no fucking way the entire border is being watched.

I don't know man all their social media basically them being hateful to everyone in that area... And it wasn't like they weren't hateful to them before the war I mean I've seen videos of them literally going to Ukrainian streamers and harassing them. I'm not so sure that the narrative works.

Yeah exactly. It's not like these are poor Russians these are going to be very rich people who actually need to face the consequences of something that they are responsible for.

Well played. Hopefully the Russian spies were also deported.

There are people with the clothes on their back crossing borders. Haven't you seen videos of checkpoints? Most people aren't oligarchs.

You should watch the YouTuber Nfkrz. He’s Russian but I’ve followed him for some time because he’s always voiced opposition to Putin’s policies, especially the homophobic ones. He left Russia shortly after the invasion, well before the conscription started. His perspective on the issue is quite fascinating.

> Millions of rich Russians fled to Finland

Yeah, no. That would mean our population has risen by at least 20%.

Property leasing at a 50% tax rate.

>Let them deal with what they voted for.

Lol, I don't think you have a good handle on dictatorships.

I’d be blocking sale of all property to Russians, period!

>Let them deal with what they voted for.

Lol. Bold of you to claim they have democracy.

Millions of dollars

Except that "forfeiting" your citizenship is extremely hard. Those Russians in exile right now, many dealing with visas running out and soon being forced to return are not hanging on to their Russian passport for shits and giggles.

These calls for action against Germans and Japanese in the West during world war 1/2 totally stopped the war and didn't lead to any more problems, distrust and hate down the line

This would require some kind of simplified citizenship acquiring procedure for them.

Seems fair

Then that's fine they simply can't own property, they can lease.

They guy trying to buy was Putin with a moustache

The Russian people have gravitated around "strong" authoritarian leaders for centuries for the perceived stability they bring.

It doesn't matter what that leader is called. Could be the tsar, the general secretary or now the president.

maybe not. let them go through the normal vetting process.

might be simpler to ban foreign property owners,
