anyway, stop getting off topic with youre hate mongering. i have proven my point about Georgia, so all you n00bs can get back to your little theories about WW3.
The Russian government admitted they did Katyn, so where does that leave you?

Finland was not going to shell Leningrad for no reason, the Winter War was naked aggression against a small harmless country. The only deal that woudl have been even remotely acceptable was the ceding of the whole Karelian Peninsula (including murmansk) in exchange for the Mannerheim Line.

Most likely the reason you didn't attack along the border was down to Voroshilov being in charge, who was incompetent.
