Thank you! Some I would agree, some may be argued, but I'd like to wait for other opinions.
It's interesting to know what Western historians think about it. Soviet (=communist) historical science used to give to answers (both deceptive):...
It may be true, but not relevant. I say, that the army which wants to surrender, not to fight, does not lose 1 million soldiers. It loses 66 000,...
It's not a simple question whether those who surrendered were "exhausted by Stalin's regime". In 1941 the Red Army lost about 1 million soldiers...
To Soviet Russia, considering that it supported "the Reds" in Finnish civil war. It was the decision of the Finnish government published on May...
Me, no. I would not blame them.
Dear colleagues, has any one ever heard of a documentary film "The Unknown War", which was made in the USSR in 1979 specially for the USA, with...

Corps. 30th elite infantry corps under command of General Lieutenant Simonyak. Oh, thank you very much, that is very valuable information which I...
Just what I supposed. This numbering concerns the whole so-called "Vyborg--Petrozavodsk operation", the forces which the Red Army possessed before...
Your confidence have failed :) I would never deny an obvious fact. And honestly, I am glad it was stopped. I have ho sympathy to Stalin's plans...
Do you think it was because of his humanism or he wanted to avoid losses when assaulting Soviet fortifications in Karelian Isthmus (which were by...
Yes, that's it. Finland used German invasion to take its own bite of Russia. Just what Poland did with Czechoslovakia after Munich conference in...
Wars seldom break without a proper explanation. Germany also had its reasons, and USSR too, and Poland took a bite of Czecoslovakia in 1938,...
Exactly.
Finland never owned Eastern Karelia. It was an aggressive annexation in 1941.
The main myth of the Continuation War is its name :) Finnish official version is that Finland just took back what was lost in the Winter war and...
There is some misunderstanding. The information wasn't about Karelian Isthmus, but about Eastern Karelia which belonged to Russia and was annexed...
