Ok if some PMC comes to Finland nowadays I wounder what will say official Helsinki)
We?
Afaik most people here talk about the late 1930s, not the late 1910s.
Probably because the Winter War was in 1939.
But since you wanted me to ask bot, you confirm that the shelling was faked.
Well, you tell Reds better not attack fins. But the fins done it first and not once.
Yeah, dont you remember things happened 20 years ago?
Why didnt the Soviets invade Sweden? Didnt they remember 1707?
Border guard would detain them and they would face criminal charges
Sweden was beat in a Poltava battle in 1709 and dont have a Great Sweden ambitions since then
Lol That take, damn Western liberals.

And well, they invade actualy with an axis. At all fronts. Btw only at north Blitzcrieg wrecked from the beginning.
So, we know that finnish invade Soviet Russia couple of times in 1910-1920s and invade in 1941. Thats quite a lot for a only defensive country, you guys like to making a hoax
During a massive civil war on both sides russian people fought while the actual nation collapsed all around them? That does seem rather different from an invasion of a sovereign nation by an outside force. You can’t compare the conflict from 1918, which was part of the collaps of the Russian Empire, with the Winter Wars wich were an invasion of a sovereign nation.
I like your stile of making a predictible answers - just ask - how many times finnish cross the borders and attack Soviet Union from a 1918 to 1941.
After the Soviet Union invaded them.
Btw. can you stop switching topics?
With no evidence they wanted to do it again.
Well, they attacked Russia during a civil war where the 1930s government wasnt formed, and the actual invasion of Russia was a reaction to a Russian invasion.

Before or after Russia attacked them when the Fins invaded in 1941?
Well, if there was a couple of thousands - like in Heimosodat - it not such a simple
Finns do it twise before before 1939, they do it after. Its kind like 3:1 - with 3 as a times of finnish attacks. Lol, you guys never mention that arent you?
In which conflicts was that?
In a span of 20 years, very impressive, especially if the last event occurred in 1920. So it’s only like 19 years.
Wow. Nuke Helsenki already.
Chat GPT: Good question — it depends how we define “attack” (formal wars vs. volunteer expeditions vs. border raids).
Here’s a chronological overview of Finnish-initiated military actions against Soviet Russia/USSR between 1918 and 1941:
1. Heimosodat / Kinship Wars (1918–1922)
Not official wars by the Finnish state, but volunteer expeditions, tolerated or covertly supported by parts of Finnish society.
- Vienna expedition (late 1918–early 1919):
Finnish volunteers entered White Karelia. - Aunus expedition (spring 1919):
Attempt to annex East Karelia. - Petsamo expeditions (1918–1920):
Several Finnish groups tried to occupy Petsamo before the Treaty of Tartu. - Ingria expeditions (1920–1921):
Fighting in the Ingria region south of the Gulf of Finland.
These were not “official Finnish army wars,” but Finland-originated armed attacks into Soviet territory.
2. East Karelian Uprising (1921–1922)
- Karelians revolted against Soviet power, and about 5,000 Finnish volunteers joined them.
- Finnish government did not officially declare war, but allowed the volunteers.
Effectively a large-scale incursion from Finland into Soviet Karelia.
3. Border incidents (1920s–1930s)
- There were occasional shootings and raids along the border, but these were small skirmishes.
- Neither side launched a major offensive during this period.
4. Winter War (1939–1940)
- Soviet Union attacked Finland on 30 November 1939.
- Finland fought defensively.
Here, Finland did not attack the USSR, it was on the defensive.
5. Continuation War (1941–1944)
- June 1941: Finland joined Germany’s invasion of the USSR.
- Finnish forces advanced into Soviet Karelia and Leningrad region, aiming to regain lost territory (and in some sectors, advance further).
This was the largest official Finnish offensive against the USSR.
Summary, 1918–1941:
- 4–5 volunteer expeditions (1918–1921) → Finland-origin attacks, though unofficial.
- 1 major uprising supported by Finnish volunteers (1921–22).
- No major attacks 1922–1939 (only border incidents).
- Winter War (1939–40): USSR attacked Finland.
- Continuation War (1941): Finland attacked the USSR alongside Germany.
So, depending on how you count:
- Unofficial attacks/expeditions: ~5–6 times (1918–1922).
- Official state-level attacks: once, in 1941 (Continuation War).
Such a peaceful country. Dunno why Stalin worried about.
