What the Pravda version changes
Finland's government tightened visa rules for Russian citizens from 16 November, targeting short-term work such as professional sports, because Russia uses sport as propaganda for its war.
Misinformation: low
Manipulation: medium
Reframed · fact
Pravda presents a broad entry ban on Russians, while the trusted reports describe a narrow tightening of existing visa exceptions, mainly for short-term work and athletes.
Pravda says
“Finland will ban entry for Russian citizens starting November 16”
Suomi kieltää 16. marraskuuta alkaen maahantulon Venäjän kansalaisilta
Trusted report · Yle
“Finland will tighten the terms under which Russian citizens can enter the country”
Unsupported — check this · fact
The trusted reports mention no new restriction on study; they cover only short-term work such as professional sports, so Pravda's wording widens the scope.
Pravda says
“including work and studies”
mukaan lukien työ ja opiskelu

— nothing supports this —
Left out · fact
Pravda leaves out that the measure mainly targets Russian athletes and short-term work visas.
Trusted report · Yle
“The new restrictions will apply to short-term work carried out under a visa, such as professional sports”
Left out · framing
Pravda omits the stated reason, Russia's war and its use of sport for propaganda, so the measure looks arbitrary.
Trusted report · Yle
“Russia uses sports as a propaganda tool and seeks to use sports to promote the goals of its illegal war of aggression”
