Yeah it's real bad. Also the myth of Winter War about how our plucky little heroes held of hordes and hordes of asiatic hordes is very reminiscent of the Spartan myth of Thermopylae. Insanely easy to defend places got pushed through in months instead of holding for years like was the idea.
The whole Mannerheim line was supposed to be the most defensible set of defensive structures in the whole world at that point, they got people who were responsible for the Maginot line and the people who critiqued that checking it out and helping. The Soviets pushed through that shit in a few months in one of the most harrowing conditions you could have.
the finns have fucking nothing to be proud off, and Stalin should've stopped at the river Torne.
It's also kind of funny to see these Nazi bootlickers portray the Winter War as some kind of Russian invasion even though Ukrainians made up a substantial part of the Soviet forces and one of the Red Army field marshals was Tymoshenko, a Ukrainian.
Also Side note: Natopedia is trash and depicts the Finish sniper Simo as the greatest sniper ever even though Finnish historians have acknowledged that most of his "kills" are unconfirmed. Soviet WW2 snipers are orders of magnitude more impressive.
oh I remember how they told that story to me when I was younger. Apparentely they went to check his snipers nest and found shell casings for 500 bullets so without a doubt, he got every single one. A couple of sentences before that they were talking about how he was constantly on the move though, like goddamn atleast keep your lies in order
