In most places in Europe, one gets the impression that Russia is somehow terribly far away. Usually there are several thousand kilometers and several state borders between you and Earth, where today means a week ago.
At first glance, this place looks like countless other places where there is a small river next to a forest path.
But not in this place, what’s special here is that here you literally have Russia at your fingertips. Yes, the trees that grow on the other side of the Yakobselva River (or also Vuoryam or Voryema) are already in Russia.
