I explained it sometime ago, but some old people need for a repetition.
:) Stalin wanted to get some Finnish territories near Leningrad to move
the state border from the city. There was no task to occupy Finland, and
it is a well know fact -- no need for fantasy! The task had successfully
been accomplished, and, BTW, if it had been not, Leningrad would be
doomed in the siege that happened in WW2.
BTW, this Stalin's move was a tremendous contribution for Hitler's
defeat in general.
Bye, Robert!
