I always wondered what the Norway-Russian border looked like. That little river is all that separated Norway from the "dreaded Soviet Union"? Interesting......
Russian soldiers in WW2 have released this city from german-nazi invaders. Nazis have locked thousand peace norwegian inhabitants in adit which wished to blow up, but russian soldiers have prevented it, having released these people
@ss90ss444 It you banned finn not-scandinavian people don't know history. That you so don't love Russian if you love Russian metal band Temnozor? I saw your laudatory comment on one of video Temnozor. Lol
Norway has always been one of my passions, as has Russia. Mix the 2 together...wow!! I wish I had the guts to drop everything and just trek across from Norway and right through Russia...amazing!
Ouuww i can not think this border in Cold War years. Maybe it was the same of our (Turkiye's) Soviet Border. It was allowed to reach more than 2 kilometers to Soviet Border in Cold War years here.
In my children years I dived in Grense Jacobselv. At that time Russia was in the Soviet Union, and the Russian guard-towers kept an close look at me all the time. I didn't swim longer than to the middle of the river. From the bottom I picked up a stone. That stone is still in my posession :-).
Nice video indeed! My passion of Norway is unlimited, and one day I will definetely come...Finnmark region (and Tromso and Trondheim) are my favoutites. Hello Kirkenes people, only you are missing in my travels...ha det bra!!! Congratulations "BesidesThe Seaside"..wait for more!
How refreshing to find somebody else with an irrational love for northern Norway! I'm from England and I've visited Tromsø twice so far. I hope one day I'll get to live there, or in that general part of the country. Have you been to Norway yet? :-)
I have been in Norway twice, one on the south west (Oslo Trondheim and western fjords) and one in the north Tromso, Alta Hammerfest, Nordkapp. Hope to go again sooner or later :-)
Only a fence devided by the border between Norway and Russia...Unbelieveable...

You fucking russian bullshiter. Germans would have never been in the city in first place if you retards had not started problems in 1939.
Now go drink some vodka and wank infornt of Stalin and Molotov pictures.
