No, the Nazis' plans pretty firmly involved genociding almost everyone in Eastern Europe. Not a whole lot of wiggle room there in a "if everything had gone as planned" scenario.

I'll note it says "Venaja", which means "Russia", to the right, not "Third Reich" or "Reichskommissiarat Moscow".
 
Given a bit more incompetence all around, Russia could have been fragmented for an extended period (although I suspect someone would have re-gathered most of the Russian lands proper by the 1930s).
Plus whatever arose, the Finns would probably call the area Russia, unless there was some far larger successor state to the he south and the northern ones called themselves Novgorod. By the way, can anyone see if the borders of Estonia are the same as before the Russians clipped a little off them after WWII? of course we can probably blame this all on it being an alternate history map, with the map maker ignoring butterflies.

"If everything had gone as planned."

That appears to be pretty much directly the Greater Finland map from the "Valtakunta" project.

EDIT: There are a few differences: like mentioned, there is "Russia" instead of "Reichskommissariat Moskau" and "Soviet Union". The major difference, border-wise, is that in the original "Valtakunta" map, Finland has gained the Varanger Peninsula from Norway. In this version, the peninsula is still a part of Norway. Otherwise, the details show this "poster" is obviously closely based on that original map.

Oh and look, the original map literally does have "Reichkommissariat Moskau" abort abort abort abort abort

It is a fairly ordinary Axis victory scenario. The website presents it from a (Greater) Finnish in-universe POV. The site is broken, but you might be able to find missing parts archived via Wayback Machine.

Harry Turtledove’s acclaimed alternate history series began with a single question: What if the South had won the Civil War? Now, seventy years have passed since the first War Between the States. The North American continent is locked in a battle of politics, economies, and moralities. In a world that has already felt the soul-shattering blow of the Great War, North America is the powder keg that could ignite another global conflict—complete with a new generation of killing machines.

“Freedom! Freedom! Freedom!” In 1934, the chant echoes across the Confederate States of America, a country born of bloodshed and passion, stretching from Mexico to Virginia. But while people use the word to greet each other in the streets, the meaning of “Freedom” has become increasingly unclear.

Jake Featherston, leader of the ruling Freedom Party, has won power—and is taking his country and the world to the edge of an abyss. Charismatic, shrewd, and addicted to conflict, Featherston is whipping the Confederate States into a frenzy of hatred. Blacks are being rounded up and sent to prison camps, and the persecution has just begun. Featherston has forced the United States to give up its toeholds in Florida and Kentucky, and as the North stumbles through a succession of leaders, from Socialist Hosea Blackford to Herbert Hoover and now Al Smith, Featherston is feeling his might. With the U.S.A. locked in a bitter, bloody occupation of Canada, facing an intractable rebellion in Utah, and fatigued from a war in the Pacific against Japan, Featherston may pursue one dangerous proposition above all: that he can defeat the U.S.A. in an all-out war.

The Victorious Opposition is a drama of leaders and followers, spies and traitors, lovers and soldiers. From California to Canada, from combat on the high seas to the secret meetings where former slaves plot a desperate strategy for survival, Harry Turtledove has created a human portrait of a world in upheaval. The third book in his monumental American Empire series, The Victorious Opposition is a novel of ideas, action, and surprise—and an unforgettable re-imagining of history itself.

Kentucky should be part of the Confederacy in that map
