>Literally anything else from destabilizing the political situation in finland to force them to sign peace treaty to collecting the information about the probability of Finland becoming a puppet stateSo you are in all honesty saying that Soviets created Terijoki puppet government in some kind of gambit to destabilize Finland or as an experiment? LMAO. Soviets categorically refused to talk peace with legal Finnish government and instead said that Terijoki government was the only party they'd negotiate with. Standard puppeting strategy. If it was a gambit it sure was a strange one. Do you in all honety believe that Soviets, had they achieved breakthrough in -39 wouldn't have puppeted Finland? It wasn't until February that Soviets opened negotiations with the real Finnish government,
>whathttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chris_Gueffroy>During Mannerheim "term" Finland had concentration camp for other ethnicitiesThat was during wartime when Finland certainly wasn't a free democracy. Mannerheim was an asshole and Finns did many evil things during the Continuation War. No one is denying that. What we are talking about is that after the war Finland became democracy with certain freedoms. Freedoms that weren't enjoyed in communist block.
