In 1939, my country Finland was a poor nation of 3.5 million people. The Finnish military had a reservist army that had to go to war wearing mostly civilian clothes, because it could not give uniforms and boots to its soldiers. It is beyond absurd to claim that Finland would have wanted to start a war against Soviet Union, a country of 190 million people, enormous resources and army of several millions of soldiers. Finland was attacked because it resisted a "voluntary" Soviet military occupation. Around the same time, Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania allowed Soviet military bases in their territory to prevent being destroyed, and later they were forced to ""voluntarily"" join the Soviet Union.

The border with Finland was a 40-minute drive from Leningrad. The second largest city in the USSR. Finland was an absolutely hostile country to the USSR. In 1918, the socialist revolution took place in Finland. As a result, there was a civil war. The victorious right staged terror against the left Fins there. Russians were killed for one thing. Even those who did not push left-wing ideas. For example, as a result of the massacre in the city of Vyborg, up to 5 thousand Russians were killed.

Must be hard for Russia, constantly having to defend itself against its smaller and weaker neighbours.

Someday liberals will begin to look at history in more detail, and not with their superficial convolutions..... Maybe it looks like this, but let's start with the fact that Germany's influence on Finland was high, starting in 1918, where the Red army was defeated thanks to German troops, after that the influence of the Germans in the Finnish army was strengthened, after the German legions returned back to Finland to its army. For example, after celebrating the 20th anniversary of the victory in the Civil War with the German delegation, secret negotiations between Finland and the USSR began, since the latter had more concerns against the background of growing relations between Germany and Finland. Finland was clearly involved in the Barbarossa plan, this is known thanks to the following information: - In the autumn of 1940, negotiations were held between Paavlo Talvela and the Nazi generals. The beginning of the creation of a German strike group in the north of Finland under the pretext of "Transit" to Norway. - December 1940 The Barbarossa plan takes into account Finland's consent and willingness to take part in aggression against the USSR. - The chief of the Finnish General Staff, General Heinrichs, is present at the discussion of the Barbarossa plan in Salzeburg in May 1941. - The north of Finland was the area of concentration of German forces advancing on Murmansk. They were subordinate to the German command. - Finland has been providing airfields to the Luftwaffe since June 10, 1941. - In addition, a Finnish SS volunteer battalion is being created, the purpose of which is only the war on the eastern front. Successful negotiations took place only 10 years later, namely in 1948, where, please note, peaceful existence took place between the neighbors of the USSR and Finland, until the collapse of the Union in 1991. In October 1939, the question of creating a military-political union was raised again, but Finland refused these negotiations. After that, Stalin offered to make Finland an exchange of territories. There were two types of programs - minimum and maximum. The Soviet side decided to choose the minimum version of these requirements, namely, the returns of the Karelian isthmus, not Vyborg and other cities, should not have been part of the territory of the USSR, the border should have passed near Primorsk and go to the center of the isthmus. The territory did not even touch the Manneyrgem line, only a very small part of it, i.e. Finland retained its sovereignty, cities and defensive structures. However, the Finnish Minister of Foreign Affairs Elias Erkko took a tough position and did not want to make any agreements with the USSR. He thought that thanks to this firm position, Finland would come out as a witness in the current situation, and did not think that this would lead to an open conflict. The Soviet Union needed some guarantees, which Finland did not provide. The result is obvious.

Now they keep buying into current Russian propaganda as well, since it's pretty much the same they've been hearing most of their lives. I think Russians born between the 70s to late 90s have the most realistic view of world affairs and their own country.

Interesting. It is well-known that Russians believe that Western countries hate Russia and want to conquer it. After the communist revolution, Western countries supported counter-revolutionary forces and warlords, and in the 1920s the Finns made three poorly planned, at first more and finally less with the support of the Finnish government, in the area of East-Karelia, which was not part of Finland. Hitler and the Nazis are their own story in their lust for lebensraum. The suspicion of the Russians is not completely without grounds, especially since during the Cold War in the United States there was also completely unwarranted propaganda about the communists and ordinary Russian people were demonized. Well, Stalin was a crazy dictator and Putin is almost the same, even if he doesn't reach Stalin's murder figures. However, it is gratifying to note that the Russians have a relatively correct understanding of the winter war, Russia and Stalin started the war. The Finns weren't entirely innocent, of course, there was a lot of hatred here and some far-right folk and Nazi-supporters dreamed of a great Finland. But without two madmen, Stalin and Hitler, the Finns CERTAINLY wouldn't have attack against Russia to loot the country by force. Finns may be a little crazy but most of us (excl. Lapuan Liike, Akateeminen Karjala-seura and the rest of the extreme right, nowtimes Persut etc. ) are not stupid.

I wonder how you feel about the United States, Israel and NATO in general.

My father was 17 in 1939. He worked in an ammunition factory. His older brother fought on the frontlines. The Russians came, they killed our people and ruined our cities, they took our land, and we paid them war reparations. I went to school 25 years later (1965), and was taught that the USSR is our friend. We had a co-operation treaty and we paraded every prospective Prime Minister in front of them for approval. We wanted to be independent, and we wanted world peace. We stuck with neutrality; in the meantime, American kids had "nuclear war drills" in their schools. We worked tirelessly to build trust between nations, and held ourselves for the highest standard. We woke up to a heart breaking reality on the morning of February 24, 2022. Shocked, we wanted to show whatever support we can to the Ukrainian nation. And we wanted NATO to support us, if we ever were invaded again. Russia immediately declared us to be an "unfriendly country". Nothing is good enough for them. I only wish that they would shut up and do the same as Finland: Close your borders and stay inside.

The voice once again calls out: "One Finn is better than one hundred Russian." Furious, the Russian commander sends his next best 100 troops over the hill and instantly a huge gun fight commences.

If Russia wanted to "save" the people from Donbas, and if there were people in Donbas who wanted to be part of Russia, there is a perfectly legal and non-violent way of achieving such a thing. MIGRATE AND APPLY FOR CITIZENSHIP. Not a single drop of blood would have been spilled if Russia offered them citizenship. Instead, Russia turned Donbas into a warzone and conscripted most of the male population of Donbas into the DPR/LPR militias. That's "saving" them? Don't be absurd. If you want to talk about genocide, should we mention Holodomor? Or what about Russia's invasion of Ukraine and the crimes against humanity Russia has committed during it? The Russian narrative might be great for local consumption, but the broader world will have none of it.

In the years since the Winter War, it has been speculated that the Winter War could have possibly been avoided had Finland agreed to Soviet demands for military bases and to conclude the "friendship, cooperation and mutual assistance treaty" between countries during the negotiations of 1938-39. Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania had agreed to Soviet demands and a year later were occupied and annexed - it has been brought to question whether Finland could have been the exception. According to Finnish historian Timo Vihavainen, there are many arguments against this theory.[47] According to Vihavainen, Stalin trusted only the Red Army, and he used it to consolidate his control of neighbouring countries. Treaties such as nonaggression pacts interested him little. Neutrality, when it ran counter to the interests of the Soviet Union, was "objectively" considered its opposite and therefore as serving the interests of Germany. The Soviet Union accused Finland of being under complete German influence in the 1930s. In reality, the general attitude of Finland towards both Germany and the Soviet Union was overwhelmingly negative.[47] It has also come into question whether the Soviet intent was to occupy all of Finland or just strategic areas near Leningrad. According to the document approved in 1939 by Zhdanov, Molotov, and Kuusinen, the Finnish political system was meant to be altered after the Soviet occupation by establishing a "people's republic" and capturing "enemies of the state". Marshal Ivan Konev wrote that he was informed of a conversation between Stalin, Kliment Voroshilov, and Ivan Isakov. Stalin was said to have remarked in the beginning of the Winter War that: "We shall have to resettle the Finns... the population of Finland is smaller than that of Leningrad, they can be resettled." Poor Soviet Union. They were just defending themselves from outrageous Finnish aggression. /s en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aftermath_of_the_Winter_War#Possible_Sovietization_and_resettlement

USSR failed to reach any possible objective regarding Finland. If the objective was occupying and annexing Finland - total failure. If the goal was protecting Leningrad - total failure. Finns killed 450,000 Soviet soldiers on the Finnish front in 1939-1944 -- 5 times their own casualties. And when Finns legitimately tried to reclaim the lost areas, that meant a dismal end for 1,5 million civilians in Leningrad. Finland stayed independent while USSR collapsed long ago.

Fact that actually the UK declared war against Finland, due after the failed negations with the USSR and the final straw was that Finland went to Nazi Germany for support. After the Continuation War, the USSR forced the Finns trough the armistice, that they'd declaring war against the German troops which was stationed in the Finnish Lapland. Due their so called "betrayal" the Germans troops decided to burned down the entire Finnish Lapland. This war was called such as the "The Lapland wars".

Before that Germany and Soviet Union were allies from August 1939 to June 1941. After occupying eastern Poland, the Soviet Union pressured Finland and the Baltic states to conclude mutual assistance treaties. The Soviets questioned the neutrality of those countries, and demanded to get military bases in Estonia, Latvia and Lithunia that facilitated the Soviet takeover of the Baltic countries in June 1940. Finland wanted to be a neutral country like Sweden, but Stalin didn't give a chance for that. Finland had a population of 3,6 million in 1939, so would have been the Finns any kind of threat?

Fast forward to today. Russia has failed to conquer all of Ukraine. I am already starting to see a narrative that that's what Russia wanted all along, a small piece of land...

Only months earlier, president Bush had given a speech in Kyiv suggesting that Ukrainian might be better in the Soviet Union. He was worried about nuclear proliferation. The Ukrainians weren't impressed. The people of the Baltics and Eastern Europe were desperate to be free of the Soviet yoke imposed upon them in WW2 and its aftermath. The asian republics don't seem to be in a hurry to return, and the Chechens had to be dragged back screaming after making a brief escape. Going to Ukraine does nothing to defend Russia.
