      What declaration of war ? They don’t need any of that, they just invade and then say , look they attack our Land.

      Declaration of war? Oh no no, this is a 3 days special operation, no war here.

      This war was a failure for the Soviet army. They lost around 130 000 soldiers, meanwhile Finnish army lost only 25 000 soldiers. The only thing the soviet union got was a couple of territories, and some of them were lost during WW2. I haven’t seen a Russian who would call this war a success or so. Russian propaganda as I can understand tries to ignore it or unsuccessfully try to justify it, by calling Finns “nazi scumbags”. And also because of this war, they lost a lot of potential to prevent the Nazi attack in 1941.

      Why have a formal declaration of war if that’s your own land to begin with? /s

      Russia has always been doing this. It’s good to remember that Ukraine wasn’t the first, and certainly will be the last victim of Russian imperialism.

      The invaders (the soldiers) were recognised as heroes in USSR. As I understand today’s Russian soldiers of fortune invading Ukraine hope they are heroes for Russia. And they sincerely believe in “Russia never started any wars”.

      By their own constitution – they can’t be in a state of war. Everything is special military operation.

      And as a consequence my grandmother had to leave her home, take her children, her parents and her in-laws on a three day trip across Finland in a cattle train. During that trip she assisted another woman to give birth, while attending the whole family’s needs.

      Are we ignoring just how close Finland was to Leningrad and the Soviets figured better we invade them before the Nazis do ? Or are we pretending like USSR was the only country illegally annexing European countries in this era ?

      “Good” old Russia, playing from the same playbook as always.

      “Russia never starts wars”

      Literally a common belief held by Russians.

      My grandma told me how USSR propaganda portrayed that war. Basically, “They attacked first,” Russian classic move. Once she asked relative of my grandpaabout that, his aunt, I believe. The aunt used to live near Finland. She was really angry when my grandmother asked “why such a small country attacked USSR?”.

      My grandma along with her siblings was sent to Sweden when the war broke out. She was like two years old at that point. Unfortunately nobody could take all of her siblings so they were separated. She lived on a farm with a Swedish family taking care of her.

      When she finally got to return home, she didn’t speak a word of Finnish and didn’t know anyone in her family. Her older siblings remembered their parents of course, but she lived her life feeling like an outsider in her own home, desperately yearning to go back to Sweden to the only family she had known.

      It was heartbreaking listening to her tell the stories when I was a kid. She had dementia at that point and didn’t know who I was anymore, but she told me all kinds of stories about the farm and the family she used to live with. I got hold of some old records from the archives related to where she lived but I could never figure out the exact town or place where she grew up.

      Obligatory “fuck Russia!”
