"The impression that someone is organizing and regulating things on the Russian side is probably true; it is quite obvious that activity like this is a managed effort.”

The new deluge of immigrants is particularly suspicious because they are arriving at the border crossing on new Russian-made Stels bicycles...in Finland...in the winter. //

This is very much in line with Russia's policy of trying to destabilize eastern European countries. It has pushed a refugee stream through Russia and into Belarus in an attempt to swarm Poland with illegal immigrants (Putin's War, Week 35. The Lull Before the Next Storm – RedState). This has resulted in the Poles building a fence...imagine that...and moving about one-third of their army to the Belarus frontier, so backstop the border police.

Lithuania has been under a similar assault and militarized its frontier with Belarus.

Russia doesn't understand why they should come under suspicion when a previously quiet border area became inundated with Third World refugees who had to pass through Russia.
