The Fifth Season - Finland
Tumblr media
This is the way the world ends. Again.
Three terrible things happen in a single day. Essun, a woman living an ordinary life in a small town, comes home to find that her husband has brutally murdered their son and kidnapped their daughter. Meanwhile, mighty Sanze -- the world-spanning empire whose innovations have been civilization's bedrock for a thousand years -- collapses as most of its citizens are murdered to serve a madman's vengeance. And worst of all, across the heart of the vast continent known as the Stillness, a great red rift has been torn into the heart of the earth, spewing ash enough to darken the sky for years. Or centuries.
Now Essun must pursue the wreckage of her family through a deadly, dying land. Without sunlight, clean water, or arable land, and with limited stockpiles of supplies, there will be war all across the Stillness: a battle royale of nations not for power or territory, but simply for the basic resources necessary to get through the long dark night. Essun does not care if the world falls apart around her. She'll break it herself, if she must, to save her daughter.

So... there's this government funded list of about 700 quality books with small distribution, that encourages and enables libraries to acquire marginal literature more easily and diversify their selection.
Good news: my asexuality themed novel is one of the six books from my publisher that made it to that list this year.
Bad news: the new right wing government might be cutting the funds from that list.
Great time to be a marginal writer, huh.

So I had a dream that Käärijä had an ao3 account (it wasn't even a secret account, the username was something like KäärijäAO) and one of his "fics" was the story of how he got engaged to his girlfriend called Em. (Idek if he's even engaged in reality, I know he has a gf but I'm pretty sure her name isn't Em.) Also he'd bookmarked multiple fics about Joker Out and some obscure Finnish celebrity.

An interview/podcast with the front man & guitarist of Skyforger - Pēteris Kvetkovskis. The folk, pagan and black metal band originates from Northern Europe, specifically Latvia where they have been playing since 1995. In these two-part podcast episodes you can learn more about the importance of pagan music for Skyforger; their influence in music and the nature of the environment the band originates from.
''Politicians have shown interest in our music. We have been asked to participate in concerts during the voting period of the political parties, when they tried to gain votes. But we have not participated in such things. That's not our thing. We don't want to be used as clowns or be used as idiots, for them to get some kind of benefit from our music. The Latvian Government has supported us. ''
''Our motto would be to do what you like. Live as you want, as long as it you don’t disturb other people. I have often wondered to myself and thought that young people never listen to the old ones. The youth lives in their own world. If I can give any advice, for those who want to play- Find your own path. Try as best as possible to not copy your idols or popular music which is listened to by thousands of people. I know that it is pleasant, to play like your idols, because you feel like your equal to them. But another Metallica is not needed, make your own music.'' - Pēteris Kvetkovskis.

‘Don’t Feed the Trolls’
I share a few thoughts on Troll: A Love Story by the Finnish science fiction and fantasy writer, Johanna Sinisalo “Its juniper-berry smell plays in my nostrils. Its own species didn’t want it. It was too much ballast, a burden. They abandoned this light, slender, supple being, worthy of being immortalized in black marble.” A Finnish troll it may be, but not of the familiarly endearing Tovian…

Any Finnish or Swedish language media you would recommend?
Oh I'm ALWAYS recommending the Moomin books by Tove Jansson! They are lighthearted and funny, but also surprisingly deep and heartwarming and philosophical (especially Moominpappa and the Sea, my beloved). The comics are fine too, but they lack the heart the books have imo. The 1990 animated series is also gold and a staple for any millennial (and i'd wager a lot of gen z and even gen alpha) kids in Finland. The real version is the fennoswedish dub, but it also exists as an english dub (in fact I think more episodes are dubbed to english than were released in swedish [executive decision by the local broadcast company]).
Maria Turtschaninoff has written some ya (-ish? idk how to classify them) fantasy books that I really enjoyed, and at least the Red Abbey Chronicles have been translated to English.
Stormskärs Maja is a book series that got turned into a beloved tv series in the 70's, and in January this year it got adapted into a movie. The titular track from tv series is well-known (you can hear my choir and our friend choir from Trondheim sing it here), and I've yet to watch the movie but I've seen it get good reviews! Afaik it's available internationally - look for Stormskerry Maja.
I'll throw in a Swedish recommendation too: the musical Kristina från Duvemåla by Benny Andersson and Björn Ulvaeus (yes, the ABBA guys) has so many wonderful songs in it, and it's a shame it hasn't made its way onto bigger stages abroad. The original cast recording is available online afaik. I've sang Du Måste Finnas from this show, the titular Kristina's big number in the second act, several times, and got it recorded during a workshop I was part of last spring, so maybe I'll share it here sometime.
Ask me anything!

Russia is About to Send Its Latest Howitzers to Ukraine. But Are All Technical Claims True? - Technology Org
New Post has been published on https://thedigitalinsider.com/russia-is-about-to-send-its-latest-howitzers-to-ukraine-but-are-all-technical-claims-true-technology-org/
Russia is About to Send Its Latest Howitzers to Ukraine. But Are All Technical Claims True? - Technology Org
Russia has announced its intention to deploy its latest self-propelled howitzers Koalitsiya-SV in Ukraine. They, as Russia claims, have a serious advantage over the Western artillery, which is currently being used by Ukraine.
Reuters, based on the statements of the head of Rostec, Sergey Chemezov, reports that Russia plans to deploy Koalitsiya-SV howitzers in the war against Ukraine.

By the way, Reuters initially reported the deployment of these howitzers near Russia’s border with Finland and Norway. This was just a translation error. The Koalitsiya-SV howitzers will be sent to Ukraine, where Russia dreams that they will be superior to any Western systems used by the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
Chemezov said that soon the Koalitsiya-SV howitzers, the serial production of which began only recently, will be deployed in Ukraine. “I think they will appear there soon, since howitzers of this class are needed to provide an advantage over Western artillery models in terms of firing range,” the head of Rostec was quoted as saying.
The Koalitsiya-SV is one of those terribly long Russian projects. In 2015, Russians in Moscow admired the new howitzer, which was supposed to replace the ageing Msta. Previously, they were shown to the public only partially covered. Russia initially announced that their serial production would start in 2016, but it did not start then.
In 2021, the Russian Ministry of Defense announced that it had signed a contract with UralTransMash for the production of Koalitsiya-SV, but production did not start in 2021 nor in 2022. It was only announced in October 2023 that the Koalitsiya-SV tests were finally completed. Earlier this December, Russian media reported that Koalitsiya-SV howitzers had already been used in the war against Ukraine. But, of course, their number is still very small.
So far the 2S35 Koalitsiya-SV was only seen in parades, but it might be heading to the battlefields in Ukraine very soon. Image credit: Vitaly V. Kuzmin via Wikimedia (CC BY-SA 3.0)
The Koalitsiya-SV is a 152.4 mm howitzer weighing about 50-55 tonnes. It is said to have a firing range of 40km using conventional shells, while rocket-assisted rounds will travel up to 80km. In other words, the Koalitsiya-SV can shoot further than Western self-propelled guns. At least the ones used by Ukraine.
In addition, Koalitsiya-SV has an improved pneumatic loading system, and automated controls, so it can fire at a rate of 15 rounds per minute. In theory, the Koalitsiya-SV could get by with a crew of just two people.
Of course, all this is data published by the Russians, so they should be taken with a good dose of skepticism. But this is exactly what Chemezov had in mind when he boasted about the range of the Koalitsiya-SV.
