Another such draft checkpoint was set up in Russia along the Finnish border, according to the independent Russian news outlet Meduza.

One protester, Helen Khoshtaria, tweeted: “We organised a protest at the border today so that the incoming Russians know how we feel about their `Russian world.’”There also are long lines at the border with Kazakhstan, which has taken in more than 98,000 Russians in the past week.
