Russians smuggling cheese from Finland

Are Russians still without food because they are smuggling cheese again from Finland to Russia. Russian dairy products not good enough or are there even any?

>The Russians arrived at the Nuijama border crossing point with their Ford Focus car and had to undergo a thorough inspection of the customs officers at the Brusnitshno border station.

>When asked, the man assured him that he had nothing to do with it.

>The Russian customs officer, however, decided to check out the car cabin where hidden packages were found. This caused the customsman's doubts to wake up further, so he decided to send the car through the light.

>It was revealed in the passageway that the man had a very special spare tire in the tailgate. Externally, the tire looked quite normal, but when the tire's edges were slightly detached, the yellow Oltermanni cheese packages began to flow out.

>Vyborg Customs published on its official website photographs of the Oltermanni spare wheel as a warning to other smugglers of bulk food.
>According to TULLI, a total of 78 cheese and butter packages were found in a man's car with a total weight of 36.5 kg.

>Rucksacks are Russia's counterfeits imposed by President Vladimir Putin in 2014. With counterfeits, Russia protests against the sanctions imposed by the European Union, which were imposed by the Russian Peninsula and the War of the East Ukraine.

>Cheeses and you could be confiscated and sent to a warehouse for later destruction. The man awaits a fine.
>Oltermann has been tried cross-border across the border many times before.

Why stop him? It's just fucking cheese?

what the fuck...

must be some good cheese

>>Cheeses and you could be confiscated and sent to a warehouse for later destruction.

Finnish is like a fucking alien language. Not surprised that automatic translators have problems with it.

Here's the back story starting from 2014.

Since the Ukraine war Russia has been affected by the sanctions by EU.
Thus Russia stopped receiving European food and stores ran out of Finnish butter, cheese, etc.
Russians started to complain that they have no quality Finnish dairy products so Putin doubled down and destroyed everything they have in stock and declared that they where inferior and dangerous EU products and had to be destroyed. In reality Putin didn't want to admit that because Ukraine war and EU sanctions affected Russia.

Now this is where it gets interesting. Because Russians think that Russian food sucks and know that imported EU food is better, Putin started to repackage Russian food to fake European packages.

All this has been going on since 2014 and now in summer 2018 the "Putin cheese" is still going on so there has to be a market for black market cheese after 4 fucking years.

And it's not some luxury cheese, it's the cheapest and most basic cheese we put over bread in Finland.

Belarus just imports western products, removes the western packaging and labeling, and then repackages it as “made in Belarus” then exports it to Russia. There have been funny news articles in Russia of how Russian supermarkets are filled with “product of Belarus” oranges, pinapples, coconuts, salmon, cod, etc...

Picture of a car seized by customs in 2017 with over 100 kilos of cheese.

>The smuggler was caught on the Russian border - almost one hundred pounds of Oltermann in minibus structures
>Due to counterfeits imposed by Russia in 2014, no more than five kilograms of cheese can be exported to the country.

The absolute state of Russia

Fucking KEK

So Finns don't give a shit if Russians load up their vehicles with cheese and take it home, but the Russian government is who is making an issue of it because of EU sanctions?

Cheese and butter, basics cheap Finnish brands.
>A total of 146 kilograms of Finnish foodstuffs under the sanctions were left by the Russian customs on Russian car.
>A massive smuggling business of Finnish food has been revealed at the Russian border. This time, the company was exceptionally punctual and inventive because the Russian man had hidden 146 kg of Finnish food all over his car.

>However, the suspicions of customs arose for some reason and the car was brought to the test. The infantry picture shows well that circular packages have been hidden around the car.

And now you have to think that if people get caught smuggling cheese now and then, how many people and tonnes of cheese get through?

1kg of cheese is about 5 euros in Finland, wouldn't be surprised if that was 20-50 euros in Russia.

bullshit

liquorice candy is pretty good too.

Isolated case.

Here, an article from a pro-western newspaper.
themoscowtimes.com/articles/russian-cheese-production-surges-30-after-ban-on-western-imports-46720

What US sanctions are doing are forcing Russia to become self sufficient as much as possible again (autarky), with agriculture being the biggest winner. Pharmaceuticals and high tech machines (Simens turbines smuggled to Crimea, anyone?) being their weakest sectors.

Free socialist market once again reigns superior.

It is, my brother, it is. Very nice Finnish quality cheese. Ruskis can only dream of it. This happens when you try to annex Crimea, although I would remove the sanctions to Ruskiland at least from Finland. They deserve our cheese.

But cheese is bad for you

Is it cheap or expensive on American standards?

Finland has one of the highest food prices in the world but we have a huge dairy sector, everyone drinks milk.

Sam reason fruits and pork can not enter the USA, problems

Russia stepped up the production of cheese but after few years it is still sub-par compared to European.

Google translate doesn't understand context. Correct translation of that part is "cheeses and butters were confiscated"

Do Finns have like gourmet cheese or something? Are they renowned for cheese making?

>huge dairy sector
Compared to Eesti it tastes like shit. For instance, The only yoghurts which resemble estonian in taste are juustoportti

>everyone drinks milk

Estrogen?

Russian cheese tastes like plastic.
Also I really missed Viola soft cheese, it was really good.

youtube.com/watch?v=_5fQZhv0poU

Checked his claim, it's plausible. A kilo of standard cheese to put on bread is about 7.8 euro here and our currency is crap because this country is crap, the ones I like go for around 8-10.

the crop yields are too low due to the cold climate so most farmers focus on dairy and meat

That's all well and good, but what if he gets a flat

Well with any luck you'll get better at making it, doesn't look like the kikes in the west are going to stop hating you any time soon.

Not really, the ryssät smuggle our cheese and butter because theirs is even worse.

hmm...ok, thanks for the factoid.

If I have to tell the truth it is absolute shit cheese you put on your bread that you eat in the morning with your porridge. It's about 30% fat.

True but in Russia fatty regular cheese is still considered a luxury status symbol.

Very low price to pay. As the eventual continuation of slicing of Ukraine continues you will see further sanctions on which they will have prepared response to.

They already have their domestic equivalent of the payment system (SWIFT), version of GPS (GLONASS), working on domestic operational system to drop the Windows, backup cloud based domestic internet which would serve as a subsitute in the case of them being cut off.

Not to mention their reinvigorated trade with the rest of Asia, Middle East and Africa since they entered Syria.

World is a big place and there is money to be made in other places than just US and their vassal led block.

I see they are going for the maximization of estrogen.
Did this start after the US campaign for multiculturalism?

I work in the meat and cheese biz and there’s some funny business going on with stuff from Finland. One of my distributors got some finlandia Swiss cheese at a really big discount. Like fell off a truck kind of discount. And it’s not just a one off. We’ve been getting this stuff super cheap for like 6 months now.

Maybe. Right everything get replaced with products from Asia, from Korea or China. But they don't make cheese, unfortunately.

It is, but quality is a byproduct of something that has been present for years already. It is a gradual thing you get to.

You can't decide to grow vineyards in the middle of Iceland for instance and expect after 2 years for that wine to be of french quality.

But EU didn't ban the food exports to Russia, it was solely the initiative of the Russian government to ban imports of food. Their logic was that if there is no import, the Russian producers will learn to make quality food themselves. It hasn't really worked so far though. The only cheese that Russians managed to make decent is mozzarella, and that's probably because they brought a lot of actual Italians to produce it lol.

t. Russian

Now that looks like some seriously tasty cheese.

Finnish cheese is nasty nobody wants it mainly British cheeses that people want, we invented cheese

I live near the Finnish border and yes our dairy products, especially cheese, are absolute shit. 99% of them are actually "cheese products" which use palm oil and other shit instead of milk. Oltermanni is meh though.
And funnily enough some EU foodstuffs are banned here because Putin became butthurt as his corrupt friends were sanctioned in the West.

Name me another animal besides humans and housecats that consume dairy after infancy, I'll wait.

Nature tells us not to consume dairy if we just observe what other animals consume.

Mix water and oat to make glue like substance. Cheapest food there is, there is a reason why the UN feeds porridge to Africans.

When we gave porridge to refugees back in 2015 they went to national television with a plate and said that it was for dogs and women.

Maybe if you are a lactose intolerant subhuman.

Anything good come out of the asian imports? Chinese products are shit but Korea might make something good by accident.

>1kg of cheese is about 5 euros in Finland, wouldn't be surprised if that was 20-50 euros in Russia.
Generally around 10 euros per kilo in Moscow for something that is not complete garbage. Also some European countries are not embargoed, e.g. Switzerland, so Russians can buy their cheese. The problem is Swiss cheese is hella expensive and is more of a luxury product for most Russians, priced at 30-40 euros per kilogram of Gruyere or Emmentaler.

Can confirm, also Oltermanni is literally generic tier cream cheese. Russian cheese must be godawful.

Or then this all is an EU psyop to make us feel better about ourselves

Only cheese you invented is smegma.

Is dairy itself bad or is it just the hormones and antibiotics pumped to cows?

Could you post a more outwardly jewish faggot? This is like faggots telling europeans to stop eating meat and eggs.

Red > Black.
There's a joke there, but racism is a crime.

Its because Finnish companies have the production lines running but russia does not import the stuff so they will keep dumping it to other markets.

Also you can still find the banned cheeses in Moscow, there are websites all over the Internet that deliver it, but the prices are high. Every food market has a shop that sells popular cheeses like parmesan from under the counter too.

The problem is, sanctions are from our side, nothing to do with Crimea, just Putin being asshole.
