Stalin realized too late how hard the Finnish guys were that time

@kozmon0t Some linguists say proto-Uralic was first spoken along the Volga river. The major Uralic tribes in Russia have autonomous areas, at least officially. There's the Mari, the Komi... I can't remember them all. Karelians of course, almost the same as Finns.

[Losrandir]

@kozmon0t You are right. I was being foolish I guess. I read history though. Where were the Finnish people originated? Propably somewhere Peter the Great decided to make his country, that fucker. And the Saami people. I need to think thousands of years of ago for that and it isn't all that easy

[kozmon0t]

@Losrandir Because Finns aren't "Aryans." Not that there's any such thing as an Aryan, but Finns are Finn-Ugric Baltic and not closely related to Germans or most Europeans, for the most part. Most Finno-Ugric people actually live in Russia, which Hitler called Asiatic.

I bet Hitler decided Finland was of his "race" because it fit in with using Finland as leverage against the USSR.

@kozmon0t Well, those three are all very much white and northern, so why wouldnt they. Pretty impressive for a small country

[kozmon0t]

Why were Hitler and Goering cheering for the Finns? Or maybe they were mad that the Japanee wasn't winning anymore.
