Russian tourists to Finland greeted with Ukrainian anthem


Imatra (Finland) (AFP) – A crowd of people gathers in the Eastern Finnish city of Imatra on a bridge overlooking Imatrankoski rapids. At the same time every day, the river’s almost century-old dam is opened and water rushes under the bridge, to the sound of music. It is a popular attraction especially for Russian tourists. But since the end of July, the show has kicked off with the Ukrainian national anthem, to protest the Russian invasion.
