Abstract

The article focuses on Finland's historical relationship with Russia, particularly during the Winter War of 1939, when Finland successfully resisted a Soviet invasion despite being outnumbered. Finnish historian Henrik Meinander discusses the tactics and strategies employed by Finnish forces that contributed to their resilience against the Soviet military, which was overconfident and weakened by internal purges. The conflict resulted in territorial concessions for Finland but preserved its sovereignty, and the nation remains vigilant against potential threats from Russia today. [Extracted from the article]
