this is popular in finland. there are over $1500000.00 registered firearms in the country, among the highest number of registered firearms per capita in the world. now it's the gas mask tank of that arc. the target is the red dot. take a look back, good luck. they'll be shooting with colored pallets rather than actual bullets. well, red dot will not be exactly. okay, there it is. in a good yell. block moon, the cost boy buried thyme. pollyanna in a been asleep rise in sales of military equipment, especially at the start of the ukraine war cruiser and up boston labovic kellogg. aguilar demand for combat and protective equipment has grown considerably. i'm up

having refused to do military service, which is compulsory for men in finland. really nor me, does civilian services stand at the peace station in helsinki, the headquarters of finished pacifists, they believe in disarmament, and opposed nato. and like new me, they're conscientious objectors. today, the team is meeting an international aghast. easy here to report on his experiences with russia. wow. finance bit to join nato. his deeply shocked billy normie people with but it's on the military and i was in as an as an anti militarist lumper. i don't believe in security based on weapon silva, oregon, though my mission is to build a weapons free society where people live in equality and freedom manon. we should remain militarily independent, august, boston, and there hasn't even been a public debate about nato and finland. the disadvantages haven't been discussed at the most, nicol nato is made to look like a savior or a buddhist angleton, and that's not what it is. but there is an i angelina, you're the said,

doesn't go from russia. has left the teams. visitor is alexander bailey, a russian lawyer, and he was forced to leave his homeland because of his criticism of human rights violations in russia. many others like him and now in prison, where we need to, every next step for is like her step down new really you leg deep down. so it's hard to, to believe that all of that stuff is happening now. i in my country it, we should, people should go from the green russians. they should say, yes. and he securing peace without weapons. here in finland, pacifists have always been a minority, or the community has come under increasing pressure since the russian invasion of ukraine

on our social media us. we do grip quite hostile comments. ah, i think it has been less. there was quite a shock shock when the when there or in ukraine started and then when, when finland declared that its applying for nato. so those were like spikes but, but we do get out. so we get like the normal amount hospital, we're not very popular amongst everyone in the protest is underway. what do we want, john, the demonstrators nuclear disarmament. when do we want it now to the peace activists, nato members, the u. s. from turkey are not much better than russia, but here in finland, few share their viewpoint overlooked by the cathedral

senate swear 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 that was it bubble up, what we should remain non alliance in no, probably about them at a bit upper kid all and we must remain keyson, pursue an anti militarist policy, full a big guy and demonstrate the power of non violence to the rest of the world without bucket, all of them would avoid emma with 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. what about the law? i 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 mac august. ready 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. what matters above all is that the public is ready to defend the country. so now. ready 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 hall 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 about

learning how to survive in emergency situations. and in the while about also. busy both both of susanna khaki works for the national board of education. she's here to learn basic skills such as surviving in a forest without food. no, it is deny, never not. and i'm interested in learning how to make a fire under difficult conditions. they mckenzie hunk, that is something i'd like to practice in denison play and i'm in and the bullet, there's a lot of competition to get on the course of the participants can consider themselves lacking to be here. there's so much demand for the organizes a struggling to keep up with all and it got the gothic gospel. before we got the possible nog bell, i had galactose to middle resorts, lazar stretches the corner,

may look to live out of this course. for example, i was fully booked behind just a few hours and more than just the bonus yard mailing but alive, 100 women are on the waiting, listening. yet we're planning to offer more courses. how do i talk to our causal? we got that fall under the football hooking outside the foraging for hobbs and mushrooms hollow, providing 1st aid. these women are learning how to cope if an emergency ok. oh boy . boy, if you take it will kind of deal on it. they had the situation. ukraine has shown that your own army kind of alive, asked that, but that you need to be able to turn to other as for how to marita c milan. yeah. so melodic out caught him with the see if that, that, the film that have experienced the difficulty of fighting, allow that on me. that's why we now think that nato is a good thing. go, it took like the voice a lot. give us shianna 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 end to finland's neutrality was considered to boot. 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 neutrality, it's a radical change of position. ill 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. winter war 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. at 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 miss. so finland wasn't ready for the winter war mare mountain want war.

and it was difficult for us to mobilize our troops quickly. odom as latania was down to luck that we were able to maintain our independence on eczema and vista. miss alcomite. however, soviet troops were victorious in 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 utley, an ion olette and i, we've been russia's neighbors for saint john. male and relations have always been bad. ah, horn up valley white with the war ended. the official line was that we had good relations with the soviet union at that valid side of an ion. in reality though, there was never any trust there. a no, la aiken outlet. ah, what the vice 60 year old you'll popo healer manages the charity association.

he has a doctorate in economics and lives on a leg 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. film middle got the bottom, put them on the record that he feels and is my home. and taylor home is where you were born in that hang that it means you breathe, finish air. sing along that you share finished values and finished culture in roswell, hall on angle ellie, who being bought jolla, it's been ties that exist from birthday. good luck, as the majority of fins are ready to fight for their home, no matter what dilemma. and of course lilith, i am too well. she said, yeah, most mena 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 color. he believes that even civilian service helps prepare finland for war in our life, and 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 in protesting against the conscription lawsuit which discriminates against men who refused military service on religious or moral grounds. so morality is important, marvelous that under no circumstances do i want to participate in state killing pacifist in about an ottawa, as alice thought by miss agatha about the i think i need that because i don't think about a guy that from the middle. i said it's good that there are people like miro,

who dare to refuse military and civilian service, all the saloon bar at that, not going to those are the, they're showing how to build a weapons free society lost that and how to fight against inequality. so valuable a nichol austonia university middle. i really admire people like me roused on it that i the must summer submit a bottle to local. there's a high price to pay for total refusal york oscar say say on rico. so and inland or 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. the thought that the authorities can come to my house at any time with allah, they can take drug tests and urine test was out that i can't leave the house without permission. if they're mad up, boy, still got a wants to know where i am at all times or be that i lot, neglect it at the at that mr. ma, 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 here protection is mandatory with 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 the thread might be real. you

never know, ah, [000:00:00;00] a if, if it was not prepared if we had a different system, but i mean technically expertise 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 passive, completely disagree about finland. succession to native name is joe said

he belongs ah, what can they at least see where one another coming from dr. got my own mother, a guy. yes. of course, i understand that some one might refuse to do military service, a male without a lime or not. every one is a soldier valuable. ahmad. the law allows people to serve the country according to their respective abilities, initials, to preserve tolstoy and david bowie. next to an orthodontist. jesus did a fellow libra, really know me and meteor, ya, conan, are talking about want total refusal entail. see if the song on or song is little okay. little hosa laos, mother. if i decide to spend the detention at my home and where the ankle bracelet doesn't, what does it actually involve? im gonna go to my thumbs. mm. hold on at the front door and knocks us needs to love us while much amid only goes off, but you'll have to attach a metal bracelet to your lower leg with walla walla. the device records, all your movements is 24 hours a day, 7 days

he was executed by his own people without trial. i got the section 69 3rd row, 2nd grave along and as a pacifist pecorino, and was completely isolated in a society that willingly went to wall against russia. and one of the, from the point of view of really know me and the peace movement in the past, 80 years little has changed in finland. mm hm. our interest, the global economy,
