Some 400 Russians who live in Kirkenes are divided between supporters and critics of the Kremlin.

“One of my best friends considers me a nearly enemy now because I’m not supporting what my home country is doing,” says Ludmilla Wille, a souvenir merchant.

And its dockyard, which used to repair Russian fishing vessels, has lost its customers.
