A large group of Russian soldiers in the border area in 1939 are moving down a road when they hear a voice call from behind a small hill:
"One Finnish soldier is better than ten
Russian".
The Russian commander quickly orders 10 of his best men over the hill where Upon a gun-battle breaks out and continues for a few minutes, then silence.
The voice once again calls out: "One Finn is better than one hundred Russian." Furious, the Russian commander sends his next best 100 troops over the hill and instantly a huge gun fight commences. After 10 minutes of battle, again Silence.
The calm Finnish voice calls out again: "One Finn is better than one thousand Russians from:
The enraged Russian commander musters 1000 fighters and sends them to the other side of the hill.
Rifle fire, machine guns, grenades, rockets and cannon fire ring out as a terrible battle
is fought...
Then silence.
Eventually one badly wounded Russian fighter crawls back over the hill and with his dying words tells his commander, "Don't send any more men!!! It's a TRAP! There are TWO of them!"

1. Finland did not admit the continuation war was a "mistake" they agreed to sign a peace with the Soviets that leased out the gulf of Finland islands and the Turku peninsula on top of the loss of territory from the winter war because they were losing
2. The Soviets didn't occupy Finland because they knew that the real fight was in Germany and didn't want to waste the time dealing with Finland when it was ready to sign a peace anyway
3. You didn't mention the cities or show the actual borders pre winter war but instead included outer Karelia which was not a part of Finland prior to WW2

I am half Russian, half Karelian. In Karelia, the older generation hates Finns because of the mass killings during World War II. My grandmother was the only survivor in her family; she was 2 years old at the time. The Finns shot her parents and two brothers who were 5 and 9 years old during the occupation. She survived only because she was in the hospital for treatment, and then the hospital was evacuated to Kazakhstan. The village where she lived no longer exists. Later, she lived for a long time in Sakhalin. She has distant relatives who also managed to evacuate, although they are 100% Karelian, they now live in Kyrgyzstan.
Four years ago, I went with her to Karelia, where the remains of her family were found. We visited a mass grave near Petrozavodsk.
After the war, Karelia was actively resettled by Belarusians, so there are villages where people speak only Belarusian. Currently, there are only 32,000 Karelians left in Russia, most of whom live in Karelia. However, the population of Karelia itself is 527,000. In other words, Karelians in Karelia make up less than 6% of the population. Recently, there have been talks about changing the region's status from a republic to a province (reducing autonomy).
