after the collapse of the russian empire finnish conservatives tried to setup their own country, even a finnish monarchy at one point, they were always against marxists, socialists, communists, the fact that they didn't officially ally with the nazis until a few months after this war, is meaningless. Finnish victories against soviets are often glorified by neo nazis as its more politically correct, than outright celebrating nazis.

The same way they call themselves "right-libertarians" instead of fascists ;)

It has meaning.... Meaning you refuse to understand.
 
I'm not really sure what the point of this thread is.

Yes, the Finns showed remarkable resilience in defeating the Red Army during the initial stages of the war, only to be beaten back once the Soviets got their **** together. Finland was lucky to escape with their independence intact, even though it involved a great deal of Soviet influence over the course of the Cold War.
