To be clear I’m not defending the Soviet Union invading Finland, I’m an anarchist so I only really like the Soviet Union a tiny bit more than I do the US during the same period (which isn’t saying much because of how much I hate the US). I’m just also agreeing that Finland did ally with the Nazis, which is a stain on their history.
