Not sure. The wikipedia article claims "Most sources conclude that the Soviet Union had intended to conquer all of Finland, and cite the establishment of the puppet Finnish Communist government and the Molotov–Ribbentrop Pact's secret protocols as evidence of this, while other sources argue against the idea of a full Soviet conquest." -- so I guess it's not entirely non-controversial.
USSR did annex all the other countries listed in Molotov-Ribbentrop though: Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, eastern parts of Poland and Romania.
Well, I'm so sorry, but this discussion is just not important enough for me that I feel the need to do actual research. I'm sure you can follow up the sources in the wiki if you want to find out more yourself.
Guilty as charged, but in my defense I've been killing time while waiting for CI runs to complete... I probably could have and should have killed a little less time today.
