Life on the NATO-Russia Border | Beyond Borders
Beyond Borders
1,246,655 views
High above the Arctic Circle, on the Norwegian border with Russia, is a place where some say the Cold War never ended. Where a memorial to the Soviet soldiers who defeated the Nazis has a darker meaning since Russia's incursion into Ukraine. And where those trying to report what’s happening have been targeted by Moscow’s spy network, while anti-war protestors rally under the watchful eye of the Russian consulate. This is a community living with the threat of war between NATO and Russia, and the suspicion that hangs over everyone.

Peace
In 1990 I was in the military at Høybuktmoen, the main base situated by Kirkenes Airport. We were relatively unaffected by being so close to Russia (or the Soviet Union back then), but there was a lot of spy activities is the area, which we were constantly warned about.
