Ведомости
While the migrant crisis in southern Europe continues, Russia is having its own issues with refugees on its northern borders with Norway and Finland. Refugees from war-torn countries like Syria and Afghanistan are trying to get to Scandinavia via Russia, and it is putting the Russian government in a tough position. Finland is expelling refugees this year and refusing to take more, therefore leaving them stuck on the Russian border.
