always been a minority. the community has come under increasing pressure since the russian invasion of ukraine on our social media. us reader grip quite hostile comments. ah, i think it has been less. there was quite a shock shock when the when the war in ukraine started. and then when, when finland declared that its applying for nato, so those were like spikes. but, but we look at, i would say we get like the normal amount hospital. we're not very popular amongst everyone. in particular. the protest is under way. what do we want, john? the demonstrators nuclear disarmament. when do we want it now to the peace activists nato members. the u. s. and turkey are not much better than russia. but here in finland, few share their viewpoint. overlooked by the cathedral senate square is in the heart of helsinki. america. so awesome, because we shouldn't join nato because we shouldn't be associated with countries that legitimize war. and if that was a double up, we should remain non alliance. no, probably welcome at a bit. uppercase all m. o. we must remain keystone, pursue an anti militarist policy, full a big guy, and demonstrate the power of non violence to the rest of the world. bother about development of boy ma marianna. the same place a few days later, ill po popular and his wife are on the steps of the cathedral, celebrating the annual flag day of the finished defense forces. so got about to say, well, you wouldn't wanna play with it was president sali minister is here to pay his respects to the army. his speech is eagerly awaited this is the 1st flag day since the war began in ukraine. ah, what i'm going to sold is about we are responsible for defending our country, whatever the circumstances, why this will remain the case in the future side when we are supported by our allies as a member of a defense alliance. it was by what matters above all is that the public is ready to defend the country. so nude this readiness is stronger than ever. there is an increased interest in military exercises. involuntary national defense, both on own boss compared to other european countries in finland. the army enjoys a positive image. it's job is to defend the country and all it stands full, unparalleled stability, democracy and freedom of the press. and no corruption whatsoever. for the full time in a row, finland currently occupies the top spot in the u ends welled, happiness report with me today, a unit of female volunteers is also taking part in the parade, recognizable by that purple flag. while they train at the hot to the military base, 100 kilometers from helsinki, some 300 women are taking part in a volunteer course run by the women's national emergency preparedness association or master. the training which lasts several days isn't about combat. it's

it will credit bill on it. they, he said the situation ukraine has shown that your own army came alive as that, but that you need to be able to turn to other as for how to marita see milan. yeah . so melodic out ok with the see that the fins have experienced, the difficulty of fighting alone is on me. that's why we now think that nato is a good thing. go, i took leslie at the voice along with you guys. he ended mobile finland's capital, helsinki. the border to russia is just 160 kilometers away. the threat posed by the countries neighbor looms large here. along with sweden, finland officially applied to join nato in mid may. several weeks later, turkey dropped its objections to the 2 countries, accession but until recently, any discussion of an enter finland's neutrality was considered to bu over the last few decades, nato membership rarely had the support of more than 25 percent of the population. in the wake of russia's invasion of ukraine support has risen to 79 percent after 80 years of military a neutrality. it's a radical change of position. ill po, popular from the reservists association, believes the move is long overdue. he points out that over the course of history, russia has repeatedly proved itself to be an aggressive power. winnable began with the soviet invasion of finland in 1939. russia was clearly militarily stronger than finland, but the fins knew their country like the back of the hand. and the challenges of its icy winter's snipers in white camouflage were able to hold their own against the lumbering black clad russian attackers. moscow's troops were forced to retreat . so hale lavish, sol, finland wasn't ready for the winter war. may a mountain want war? and it was difficult for us to mobilize our troops quickly, dodo, miss. alt tanya was down to lock that we were able to maintain our independence on next m f t and pushed him aside. the mites, however, soviet troops were victorious and the so called continuation wall fought from 1941 to 1944. the fighting claimed the lives of some 100000 fins. this chapter in history is seen as a national trauma. mel. i'm of all his art diane, i am a lead and i we've been rushes neighbors for cent shaw. my land relations have always been bad. ha, horn up valley. like with a war and the, the official line was that we had good relations with the soviet union that, that valid side of n i, an in reality thought there was never any trust there. a no leak in outlets. ah lot 60 year old ill popo healer manages the charity association. he has a doctorate in economics and lives on a link near the town of u. n. so you, since the russian invasion of ukraine, the number of new reservists in his association has tripled from 30029000 national defense has become a very real concern. some men are got a mighty cut them out. adequate does, is it and is my hands in the taylor home is where you were born in ap hang that didn't mean to breathe, finish air, sing along that you share finished values and finish culture. in roswell, millennial ellie, who they bought jolla. it's been ties that exist from birth party, gorilla. the majority of fins are ready to fight for their home no matter what dilemma and of course lawless. i am too well. she said. yeah, most mina really knew me is visiting a fellow pacifist miro pardon though. he is not only refused to do military service, but also civilian service sigma. he believes that even civilian service helps prepare finland for war in our life. it's an extreme position. middle has just been sentenced to 6 months of house arrest for his total refusal. you'll have to wear an ankle monitor, his detention begins in a few weeks time. a hollow protest i had a saw and protesting against the conscription lawsuit which discriminates against men who refused military service on religious or moral grounds. sorted morality is important level of that under no circumstances do i want to participate in state killing pacifist in about an ottawa as i list, the thought by miss agatha about the i think i need that because i don't think about a guy that from the middle i see that it's good that there are people like miro, who dare to refuse military and civilian service or the saloon bar at that night are gonna, those are the, they're showing how to build a weapons free society laws that can how to fight against inequality. so that you bought a nickel almost anyhow, your of us didn't middle. i really admire people like me roused on it that i them a summer to be to bottle to local. there's a high price to pay for total refusal your cost cuz they say on recourse. so and inland though, total refusal is a criminal offense and you can go to prison that alec out. there are only $30.00 to $50.00 people a year who do it. but so not many little of the last day that the, the authorities can come to my house at any time with hello. they can take drug tests and urine test was out that i can't leave the house without permission if they're mad up boys took what they want to know where i am at all times would be that i lot neglect it up yet. that the me somehow yoga, ill po, popular and instructor timo. eddie song are on their way to a shooting range. popular is in his element. reservists from the helsinki area are practicing their shooting skills. this time with live ammunition the protection is mandatory ah, we have a long history with russia, and we don't have illusions about what has happened before and what can still happen today. so in finish society i would say the main change that i've seen is that people, reservists, and non reservists are more actively seeking these sort of opportunities to either keep up the skills, freshened them up or learn something new because a threat might be real. you never know, ah, a if, if it was not prepared if we had a different system. but i mean technically as for kids, if we could do it. but honestly, i don't think finland was on their lunch list. but as things are going now, things could escalate and we have to be ready. we just basically this is a turnkey in finland. so we are ready. we just have to mobilize it and that's where we are doing now. reservists and pacifists completely disagree about finland's extension to native name. it was a he blog. ah, but can they at least see where one another coming from dr. got my own mother, a guy guest. of course, i understand that someone might refuse to do military service, a male without a lima. not every one is a soldier valuable. ahmad, the law allows people to serve the country according to their respective abilities, are petals to was ost, tolstoy and david bowie. next to an orthodox jesus, a warrior really know me and meet ya, ya, conan, are talking about want total refusal in town. see if the sun on our song is
