Do you guys think the Winter War was justified? Or it was a mistake for the soviets to invade Finland?

lol bruh stalin dindu nuffin wrong. what the left need is a strong authoritarian structure, a healthy dose of patriotism, a planned economy of state owned corporations, and of course a strong leader cult. all dissenters are to be eliminated. lol to the gulag right? this is the only way we can beat fascism.

It was justified to think that the finns will side w the nazis so it was important to get them as far from Leningrad as possible, but it was preatty fucking imperialist so idk

Somewhat unrelated: could the soviets have intervened during the Finnish Civil war?
Robert Morales
I think the fact it was blatant imperialism already destroys any typebof justification. Even if it was to protect one of their important cities
Lincoln Lopez
They could have but it would have been a waste tbh.
Lincoln Lewis
I don't know much about the finn civil war, but I assume they could've. It probably was not in their priorities if they chose to not intervene

Cry about it.

Everything the Soviets did was justified as they were merely historical agents fulfilling their dialectical role in the grand orchestration of history. They were beyond the categories of good and evil.

It was certainly necessary to secure Leningrad and probably helped ensure the city did not fall later when the Germans and Finns attacked. The Soviets had been negotiating with Finland for some time to achieve this goal, offering to cede more territory than they would gain but these were repeatedly rejected by the Finnish government. Indeed even in the peace treaty signed to end the Winter War the Finns ended up gaining twice territory they gave up.
