winter war

no ww1 were socialist revolutionary farmers

ah,i wasn't sure.i know they were still rebuilding after the revolution,but couldn't remember if they had a fully functioning and funded army by WW2.

They had one of the largest and most technologically advanced militaries in the world at the outbreak of WW2, it was just completely lacking in qualified leadership due to Stalin's purges of the officer corps. They expected to defeat the finns in a matter of weeks, it ended up taking months and costing the soviets more than a hundred thousand lives, and thousands of vehicles.

The finns lost, but they certainly sealed their place in military history.

and also that the Finns had high morale they were also pretty skilled the most dangerous sniper was in the cold war Simo Heihe who lived until 2002

but yea the soviet union military was only superior due to its size and to much else
