Few more thoughts on the killing of the daddy's girl. Many have speculated, if Russia might revenge the recent bombings in Crimea when Ukraine is celebrating its independency on the 24th of August, and if #Dugina's car bomb would spike up the revenge plans. #Dugin #Russia 🧵(1/x)
But Dugina is not important in that way. However the date of the Dugina-bombing has a symbolic meaning of its own. Russians remember what happened in August between the 19th and 21st. in 1991 - the old guard tried the coup in the USSR. (2/x)
It was the beginning of the decade of the chaos for Russians. I think this is the message that they do read in Kremlin. #Putin has a huge love for symbolic dates. (3/x)
Btw, don't feel sorry for the lady. She was the one who said that Ukrainians are not humans, but animals. Dugina was sanctioned for her very own deeds, not her father's. It's worth saying she was also active in far right movements of the West. (4/4) End of 🧵

Tapaus #MattiSaarelainen. Jos ihminen pelaa Venäjän pussiin systemaattisesti ja vuosien ajan, yleensä ajatellaan että taustalla on taloudellinen hyöty. Se toki on mahdollista, mutta syitä voi olla myös muita, alla niistä lisää. (1/x) 🧵 #Venäjä #turpo
Saarelaisen tapauksessa on syytä myös kysyä, onko Saarelaisella kiristämiseen kelpaavaa materiaalia suomalaisista virkamiehistä tai vaikka ulkomaisista merkkihenkilöistä.Saarelainen on saanut operoida niin pitkään ja hänen toimiaan on salailtu. (2/x)
Peittely voi johtua myös mainehaitan pelosta tai sitten Saarelaisella on ollut jotain annettavaa vastalahjaksi.
Venäjän kelkkaan joutuneiden henkilöiden motiiveja:
- kompromatti eli kiristysmateriaali. (3/x)

Why am I not surprised? Of course there's a connection to the #Russia'n propaganda professionals behind the Quran-burning project in Sweden. (1/x) 🧵#Nato #Ukraine is.fi/ulkomaat/art-2…
When #Finland decided to join NATO, we had numerous headlines worried about possible cyber attacks or hybrid operations against Finland. It was like citizens and tabloids were certain that something like that would happen. (2/x)
When nothing happened last year, it was considered as a sign of Russian weakness: the propaganda front had collapsed just like the Russian military front in Ukraine. (3/x)

About terrorist #bombings by #Russia
1) RU's main tool of influence is spreading terror and fear. The goal is to influence policies in different countries. In #Ukraine they try to affect the conduct of the Ukrainian government. (1/x) 🧵
2) Ukraine is becoming the most experienced nation in dealing with this terror tool. Russian intimidation is not making them scared, but more resistant.
Note: They already had #Chernobyl. They've also experienced a politically motivated genocide, #Holodomor. (2/x)
>>Ukrainians have plenty to teach to their fellow Europeans about how to deal with Russian intimidation. Let's learn from them! (3/x)

Some of you have wondered, why an earth would Russia destroy its own infra #nordstream. The question itself is the answer: all eye balls on the #gaspipe and national security > the attention is drawn to something else than Ukraine. Besides: (1/x) 🧵
- If a country is willing to kill it's own citizens the way #Russia does, why infra would be some special exception? (2/x)
- If #Putin is ok with using terrorist attacks against Russia's own citizens, why infra would be such an impossible idea? Remember how he rose to power? By blowing up apartment buildings and claiming it was a terrorist attack.(3/x)

About "referendums" in #Ukraine. Many have asked, why #Russia even makes the effort to stage "#referendums", which look so fake to any Western country. But let's go back a bit and look at the #Baltic states under Soviet occupation.(1/x) 🧵
- In Baltic states we know this "referendum"-play very well: the USSR occupied Baltic states through performances that bears similarities to these "referendums". (2/x)
- As a result in my textbooks in #Finland there was no word about occupation, but I was told how Balts "joined" happily to the family of Soviet republics. This is what Finnish curriculum taught at school a decade after decade.(3/x)
