Norwegian Citizen: Russian Authorities and Moscow Things

norwegian citizen: He would ultimately be the first Norwegian citizen convicted of such a crime since the end of World War II, and today remains locked away in a jail near Moscow, according to The Independent. Things were not always this way between the two neighbours. Back in 2017, Russian authorities had arrested and charged retired Kirkenes border guard Frode Berg with espionage. At the top of a small hill near the centre of Kirkenes stands the statue of a lone Soviet soldier, straight-backed with a gun at the ready. The monument reads To the valiant soldiers of the Soviet Union in memory of the liberation of Kirkenes. There are wreaths of red, blue, and white flowers beneath him. (news.financializer.com).
