winter war

POD is Sergei Kirov not being assassinated, I know Stalin still could've purged everyone but just assume he doesn't. The Red Army has officers however it still has some other issues such as outdated equipment. I assume the Red Army would be able to conquer Finland ITTL. Would Hitler still launch...

Very quick question because I cannot find a definite answer to this, when Stalin first invaded Finland, did he had in mind to annex the entire state, to sort of restore the Grand Duchy of Finland in a red coat of paint as a new Finnish SSR? because it seems that after it was made clear that the...

So... I suppose this TL requires some introduction. My PoD is very simple- ITTL, Britain and France declare war on the Soviet Union as it invades Poland in 1939. This initially leads to some even darker defeats for the Allies, but it also gives the Nazis an inflated idea of their own strength...
