The media reported on the transformation of the fence on the Finnish border into a landmark

The fence, which is built between Finland and Russia, attracts Finnish tourists, as a result of which cases of violation of the borders of the countries have become more frequent. This was reported on October 26 by the Yle newspaper with reference to the head of the Vainikkala border post, Jussi Pekkalu.

Tourists often want to take a closer look at the fence, which is why they enter the territory of the closed border zone. Violations are recorded through surveillance cameras and are classified as minor. Such a crime usually carries a fine.

"There are many places along the eastern border where the border zone borders, for example, a road. If there is no forest or hill between the road and the fence, you can see both the fence and the Russian side," Pekkala said.
