00:00:17
Finland
00:00:18
as an independent state was formed
00:00:20
after the revolution in Russia in 1918, and
00:00:25
here in
00:00:27
Finland there was a
00:00:29
civil war like we had, we had our own Red
00:00:31
Finns, there were White Finns, in the end, the
00:00:34
Red actions were suppressed with
00:00:36
the help of the troops then commanded by
00:00:38
Mannerheim Mannerheim is a tsarist
00:00:41
general
00:00:42
who served very well The
00:00:45
Russian imperial army participated in
00:00:49
campaigns in the east during the First World
00:00:52
War, he showed himself heroically,
00:00:54
but here, after the formation of
00:00:56
independent Finland,
00:00:57
he took such a course that Red
00:01:01
Russia was the enemy; moreover, the Finns
00:01:04
fought with us during the civil war and
00:01:06
eastern Karelia, Soviet Karelia and
00:01:09
tried to create then the same
00:01:12
great Finland,
00:01:13
which would include its borders, not
00:01:16
only the territory that did not go to
00:01:18
this Karelian Isthmus, it is 32
00:01:20
kilometers from Leningrad,
00:01:22
but then Petrograd and the eastern
00:01:24
harem, it is clear that then the films were
00:01:28
recaptured from Finland and began to build its
00:01:31
independence, a
00:01:32
small country of course and Already in the
00:01:36
30s, in 1932, we established
00:01:39
normal relations with her and concluded an agreement
00:01:42
that was supposed to last until 1945,
00:01:46
but here both sides felt
00:01:49
distrust of each other, from their
00:01:51
side to felt distrust of
00:01:54
Red Russia and then of the Soviet Union
00:01:56
we felt not I trust Finland
00:01:58
because Finland
00:01:59
had connections at first with Western
00:02:03
countries with the parties of the former Entente
00:02:05
who were hostile to bridges and were
00:02:08
disposed and then from Germany, that is,
00:02:10
this pro-German policy was actually carried out
00:02:12
and in Finland
00:02:14
they operated, for
00:02:15
example, such an academic society
00:02:18
Finland, which set as its goal a
00:02:20
resolution until they talked about the borders of
00:02:22
Finland in the historical borders which
00:02:25
you included the frenzy of the Finnish peoples
00:02:27
located and living on the territory of
00:02:28
the Soviet Union, that is, the whole of Karelia,
00:02:31
Finland, the Murmansk region, right up to
00:02:33
Arkhangelsk, such plans were made and
00:02:37
many representatives of the Finnish elite at that
00:02:40
time sympathized with this kind of
00:02:43
tediousness they considered that someday Soviet Russia will
00:02:47
collapse, the Soviet Union will collapse and Finland
00:02:49
will be so big when Hitler
00:02:53
came to power,
00:02:54
it is clear that many representatives of the
00:02:57
Finnish establishment
00:02:58
they began to gravitate towards Germany, there were
00:03:01
close ties, weapons were purchased, but
00:03:03
Finland then purchased weapons in
00:03:05
many countries, including
00:03:07
Great Britain, Sweden, we in Germany,
00:03:10
including the Germans, the Saras often
00:03:12
visited Finland and looked at the
00:03:16
Soviet Union with hostility;
00:03:18
we also feared at that time that
00:03:20
if Finland itself attacked us,
00:03:24
then it would provide its territory to some
00:03:28
other enemy force, and here is
00:03:30
Leningrad 32 kilometers Finnish border and
00:03:33
when the Finns began to build their line,
00:03:37
which they later named after the ideological
00:03:40
inspirer of this line before defense and Mannerheim, the
00:03:43
Mannerheim line, you also began
00:03:45
to fear for some reason, that is, like a stronghold,
00:03:48
that is, in fact, Finland at that time
00:03:51
was in many ways a military call on and the
00:03:52
state, we understood this and negotiations
00:03:57
to somehow resolve
00:03:59
this border issues they began
00:04:01
back in the thirty-eighth year of consultations,
00:04:04
here in our archives such a case was preserved on
00:04:06
April 7,
00:04:08
keep in mind on April 7, 1939, even before the
00:04:13
conclusion of the Soviet-German
00:04:14
non-aggression treaty, Stalin accepted himself as a
00:04:19
resident of our Finnish intelligence
00:04:22
Rybkina pseudonym Yartsev who
00:04:26
was in charge of the post of second secretary of
00:04:28
the embassy and the question of what to
00:04:31
do was discussed: it was necessary to somehow
00:04:34
normalize relations with Finland
00:04:36
and try to resolve this
00:04:39
border issue, that is, to conclude an
00:04:41
agreement with it that Finland
00:04:44
would not allow its territories of
00:04:48
some third countries to the armed ones
00:04:50
so that we live in peace and, if possible,
00:04:52
maybe move the border from
00:04:54
Leningrad and exchange this territory
00:04:57
that we will acquire on the Karelian
00:04:58
Isthmus at the expense of the territory of Eastern
00:05:01
Karelia, these negotiations then began in
00:05:05
October 1939 after the conclusion of
00:05:09
the Soviet- the German treaty and the
00:05:11
secret protocol according to which
00:05:13
Finland withdrew from the influence of the
00:05:15
Soviet Union, the fact is that
00:05:17
before Western Ukraine and Western
00:05:20
Belarus
00:05:21
it was clear that this territory
00:05:23
was inhabited by Ukrainians and Belarusians and
00:05:25
when the Baltic countries were separated from Soviet Russia,
00:05:28
our bases were the light
00:05:31
for the idea of ​​how showing today with
00:05:33
practical documents
00:05:35
historical research, we were not going
00:05:37
to endorse the blings,
00:05:39
the main question was precisely about the borders and
00:05:41
all the documents today confirm this,
00:05:44
when negotiations began in Moscow, they
00:05:47
were led by the Ambassador of Finland, Apiary, the
00:05:49
future President of Finland, on our
00:05:52
side, Stalin Stalin clearly immediately stated that
00:05:55
we cannot transfer Leningrad another
00:05:57
place, therefore, we ask you to move the border
00:06:02
from Leningrad on the Karelian Isthmus by
00:06:04
about 70 kilometers, and we are giving you
00:06:08
twice the territory, this is five and
00:06:10
a half thousand square kilometers,
00:06:11
here in Soviet Karelia, which is
00:06:15
also quite rich in natural
00:06:17
resources, the Finns flatly refused
00:06:20
why, but the Finns refer to what is there
00:06:24
days passed from the position of the energy lines on the
00:06:28
other side, today it becomes clear and
00:06:31
kenske historians this also confirms
00:06:33
that strong pressure was then exerted on Finland
00:06:35
from third forces, this is
00:06:38
primarily Great Britain, it is
00:06:41
called France, including
00:06:44
behind the scenes, despite the Soviet-German
00:06:46
treaty and the Germans also had an
00:06:48
impact on the population, so the Finns
00:06:51
flatly refused only on the Karelian
00:06:54
Isthmus, we asked then for a Khanty base
00:06:56
in order to be able to protect ourselves
00:07:00
from the sea direction from attacks through the
00:07:03
Gulf of Finland,
00:07:04
the film refused and then what happened,
00:07:09
what happened is this incident, in the manner
00:07:11
today sports historians discuss what
00:07:14
actually in fact, what happened there, be that as it may, that
00:07:17
is, on November 30, Soviet
00:07:21
troops crossed the border and the
00:07:24
Soviet-Finnish war began
00:07:26
here when we are talking about the
00:07:28
Soviet-Finnish war and there are still
00:07:30
many questions that should be clarified
00:07:33
today to express a clear opinion on that it is
00:07:37
still clear that the Finnish historiography
00:07:41
she considers this war to be defensive, the fact
00:07:43
that we attacked the son of Finland, that
00:07:46
it was aggression, on the other hand, there are
00:07:48
our positions of our historians who
00:07:50
studied this issue, we understood
00:07:53
that Finland was drifting into the camp of
00:07:55
our opponents, in fact, that there is
00:07:58
final they can use 3 countries
00:08:00
and the Finns themselves in order to attack the
00:08:03
Soviet Union,
00:08:04
Kaliningrad is close, then Leningrad
00:08:06
is the center of our
00:08:08
mechanical engineering, a quarter of the
00:08:11
military products actually produced at that time
00:08:13
are tanks, the famous KV tanks, this is an
00:08:16
engine, this is a
00:08:17
device, this is, after all, small
00:08:21
arms and the loss of this city, which is
00:08:24
even more symbolic revolution is immediately a
00:08:28
huge blow to the morale of
00:08:31
all Soviet people, and the Second World War was already underway,
00:08:34
we understood that despite the fact that there is a
00:08:37
Soviet-German treaty, sooner or
00:08:39
later we will have to withstand this
00:08:41
aggression in the west of Germany, an ally and
00:08:44
Finland
00:08:45
may be an ally of Germany, as
00:08:47
our general believed headquarters
00:08:49
and here the so-
00:08:52
called plans were developed to narrowly measure your risks,
00:08:54
then the district commander was limited
00:08:58
to a simplified plan that
00:09:01
provided for 10 non-troops only
00:09:04
who were directly on the border
00:09:07
there was another plan, a plan for Shaposhnikov,
00:09:09
the commander of the first rank, then the
00:09:12
chief of the general staff, which
00:09:14
provided for a larger number
00:09:16
troops will be involved,
00:09:18
but in this war, but he was not
00:09:22
accepted then, and I must say, and today they openly
00:09:26
admit it, everyone admits that we, by
00:09:28
and large, were not prepared for
00:09:30
this, what does this mean, firstly,
00:09:32
reconnaissance from his hands was then delivered,
00:09:35
in fact, they only knew here are their forward
00:09:38
positions, if you look at our maps
00:09:40
of this time, we see that there are
00:09:43
Finnish positions on the border further than
00:09:46
some kind of pre-field Mannerheim line, but the
00:09:49
fact that these are the three strongest lines of defense was
00:09:52
actually 5 at that time was not
00:09:54
revealed, they really underestimated the
00:09:56
Finnish army, they counted the dates that it is poorly
00:09:59
armed, that is, mini in technology,
00:10:01
indeed in tanks, we have absolute
00:10:04
superiority in aviation, also absolute
00:10:06
superiority, and even if this is a
00:10:09
lightweight version, that is, we have
00:10:10
superiority not in people
00:10:12
and in artillery, of course, it was in our
00:10:14
country, but underestimate why because
00:10:17
Finland in this period, she well
00:10:19
armed her couple, in fact, every
00:10:22
man for her was a fight and
00:10:25
who was well-fed, but dressed expressed and
00:10:30
underwent constant combat training, which
00:10:32
was expressed by the Finnish army, not only
00:10:35
with rifles of various types and
00:10:37
machine guns of Sony’s own production
00:10:39
and close combat,
00:10:41
naturally, such small arms are a fighter
00:10:44
armed with such small arms,
00:10:46
we had an advantage in that period, but
00:10:50
in fact gained a skeptical attitude
00:10:52
towards an automatic such a
00:10:54
submachine gun; it was believed that a fighter in a
00:10:57
future war would destroy the
00:10:59
enemy from a distance; here, of course, it is
00:11:03
the rifle that is important; On the
00:11:10
ground, in fact, the
00:11:12
entire Finnish army was on skis, and
00:11:15
we also had excellent athletes,
00:11:17
training, but there was no such mass
00:11:19
use of fighters
00:11:22
in the ski battalions, which,
00:11:24
by the way, later began to be created,
00:11:26
and therefore when our army
00:11:29
crossed the border, we walked several
00:11:31
kilometers and the pride fields rested against this
00:11:34
Mannerheim line,
00:11:35
what was happening here, it is necessary to
00:11:38
emphasize the political moment that
00:11:40
when the red crossed the borders of the gaming
00:11:43
community, the 2nd League of Nations condemned
00:11:46
this, well, it’s understandable, but the fact that the Soviet Union,
00:11:48
after especially the conclusion of the
00:11:50
Soviet-German treaty, was considered
00:11:52
such a foreign country which must be
00:11:56
treated with suspicion is that this was
00:11:57
in our security interests, it did
00:12:00
not seem to take into account that is, England and France
00:12:02
could do whatever they wanted,
00:12:05
that is, give Czechoslovakia when they were
00:12:08
forced to take this step and conclude an
00:12:11
agreement with Germany,
00:12:12
so they thus became
00:12:15
suspicious and almost
00:12:17
enmity, the Soviet Union was expelled from the
00:12:20
League of Nations, the League of Nations essentially
00:12:24
ended its actual
00:12:26
existence with this step, what is the League of Nations without the
00:12:29
Soviet Union, moreover, England,
00:12:32
France began to develop plans to
00:12:36
link the expeditionary force to Finland
00:12:39
through Sweden, Sweden did not agree to
00:12:42
this yet they thought the Swedes would be
00:12:44
drawn into this war,
00:12:46
then the British and French began to
00:12:48
develop forms of smooth strikes on the
00:12:50
flanks of the Soviet Union, that is,
00:12:52
Leningrad and on the side and formidable from the southern
00:12:56
region, that is, this is more serious, that is,
00:12:59
squadrons of blended aircraft were supposed to
00:13:02
bomb the tank that was supposed to be
00:13:04
bombed in fifteen days and formidable
00:13:06
in ten days, that is, it would deprive us of
00:13:09
this entire oil industry,
00:13:11
this very earthly 39 40, these plans were
00:13:14
actively developed
00:13:16
away, financial assistance was supplied to
00:13:19
Finland,
00:13:20
assistance with weapons, of course for Finland
00:13:23
this was great support
00:13:25
here, returning to military events,
00:13:27
as if he were resting on this
00:13:29
Mannerheim line, they suffered significant losses in the
00:13:33
series
00:13:34
and the center of Finland, that is, these are
00:13:37
actually tragic events when
00:13:39
several of our divisions entered the breakthrough; there
00:13:42
was such an idea to cut off
00:13:45
Finland in the center of the territory to exit the
00:13:49
Gulf of Bothnia and thereby deprive
00:13:53
them of the opportunity The Finns are pouring me with their
00:13:54
troops,
00:13:55
but I don’t know where and how they are
00:13:58
actually advancing in marching columns. The Soviet
00:14:01
troops surrounded our unit with
00:14:03
their small ones for a year
00:14:05
and actually depleted our resources.
00:14:09
Such interesting moments that the Finns
00:14:12
always knew where our division was advancing in the center of
00:14:15
Finland because there were
00:14:17
communication planes. these famous
00:14:20
u2 maize workers who were actually
00:14:22
patrolling and circling over our
00:14:24
units and in the place where
00:14:28
this maize worker was patrolling, I don’t know where
00:14:29
our unit was advancing, they could be
00:14:31
surrounded from all sides, so our
00:14:33
unit, fighting surrounded,
00:14:36
were forced to fight their way with heavy losses,
00:14:38
leaving them to
00:14:40
fight their way back to East, the
00:14:43
Russian Historical Society
00:14:45
in May 2019 erected a monument to
00:14:50
our ninth necessary battalion,
00:14:53
which actually died then in Finland,
00:14:56
the center of Finland, trying to hold back the onslaught of
00:15:01
the enemy, and in order for our troops
00:15:04
to withdraw in order, in fact, several
00:15:07
hundred of our soldiers were killed, then we must
00:15:10
pay tribute to the film that is today gave
00:15:12
them the opportunity to erect a
00:15:15
monument there to carry out search work for the
00:15:17
reburial of our soldiers, for them this is
00:15:20
also a memory of the event and this is such a sign of
00:15:24
reconciliation on their part, well, of course,
00:15:27
we certainly appreciate it,
00:15:33
for of course it was not such a rich
00:15:35
country as France, which built the
00:15:37
Maginot Line,
00:15:38
these are hundreds of kilometers of concrete fortifications
00:15:41
hundreds of pillboxes huge communication passages
00:15:47
ventilation electricity kitchen almost
00:15:51
bonita that is, it was all done which
00:15:54
the Germans then outflanked in
00:15:57
June 1940 and in a few weeks
00:16:00
France capitulated but the fact is that
00:16:04
it was a fairly strong
00:16:06
Mannerheim line facts cassation
00:16:08
building Finns
00:16:10
skillfully used the landscape of the area
00:16:13
dancing rocks forest lakes, that is, where
00:16:19
the inter-lake defile they built
00:16:22
concrete fortifications,
00:16:24
continuous lines of trenches,
00:16:26
reinforced concrete or
00:16:30
armored caps that were
00:16:32
literally carved into the rocks,
00:16:33
these are trills, that is, 1 2 3 directly the
00:16:37
last one is already near the city of Vyborg and
00:16:41
overcome them especially in in winter
00:16:43
conditions it was
00:16:45
extremely difficult, all the more so it was clear
00:16:49
that in order to overcome this line
00:16:51
it was necessary to bring up artillery directly with
00:16:54
direct fire
00:16:55
in order to destroy these
00:16:57
fortified points about the cafe now we ourselves didn’t have heavy
00:17:00
artillery like that
00:17:02
initially, we tried to quickly
00:17:05
take this line I think that our
00:17:07
tank units they will break through
00:17:09
there were belongings and there were concreted
00:17:12
these
00:17:13
gouges that were built in the film, that is,
00:17:15
our tanks were stuck in Athens they
00:17:18
should have 1000 you archival documents there was
00:17:20
such a special instruction that you need to
00:17:23
jump up to our tank and
00:17:27
hammer sledgehammers on the floor of the gun in order to in order to
00:17:30
distort it, that is, so that the guns
00:17:32
could not fire until then.
00:17:34
Well, of course, they had other means of
00:17:36
anti-tank defense, and it must be said
00:17:38
that at that time we did not yet have such powerful
00:17:41
tanks as the T-34; they only
00:17:44
began to receive
00:17:46
troops in the forties, so we carried large losses
00:17:49
in technology here, the Finnish company of the
00:17:53
Soviet-Finnish war,
00:17:55
Finnish shorthand calls the land of war,
00:17:57
it really lasted
00:17:59
virtually the entire winter and even captured
00:18:01
part of the spring, that is, from November 30 to
00:18:06
March 13, 1940, it can be divided into two parts,
00:18:11
as it were, up to 11 February
00:18:14
1940, when we realized that
00:18:17
it was necessary to stop and prepare,
00:18:19
our troops bent and from February 12 to
00:18:22
March 13, 1940, conclusions were drawn that
00:18:26
our teams could
00:18:28
not easily overcome where to interrupt,
00:18:31
the decision was made, yes, this was formerly the
00:18:34
Karelian Isthmus, but why the Karelians,
00:18:36
why not to the center of Finland to me in another
00:18:38
place in this vital center of Finland,
00:18:40
that is, having made a choice, we directly already
00:18:42
left the Finnish capital of Helsinki, that
00:18:45
is, this is a direct port to
00:18:46
defeat the country at this moment,
00:18:49
returning as a political step, the
00:18:54
Soviet government made a statement
00:18:55
that the city of the plate is the first
00:18:58
populated area of ​​which the red frame
00:19:00
took,
00:19:01
crossing the borders, the people's
00:19:03
government of Finland was formed and we are concluding an
00:19:06
agreement with them. The Finns, in response to this, have
00:19:08
already begun to develop a plan to create an
00:19:11
alternative to the
00:19:12
Soviet government led by
00:19:14
Kerensky.
00:19:22
During the
00:19:24
war, completely different circumstances came to naught,
00:19:26
by the way, his leader
00:19:30
was supposed to become by the fall,
00:19:32
this is the leader of the Finnish Communist Party of the Comintern,
00:19:35
who, by the way, was buried before his
00:19:38
ashes on the Kremlin wall,
00:19:40
this matter was already put aside and they began to
00:19:43
prepare for a really heavy button accordion
00:19:45
to pull up the artillery,
00:19:47
our aviation was actively working Tymoshenko headed the
00:19:50
north-western front, the future People's Commissar
00:19:53
of Defense
00:19:54
Voroshilov, by the way, after this
00:19:58
Finnish company,
00:19:59
his ears are said to have been removed
00:20:04
from the post of People's Commissar of Defense, although he
00:20:06
continued to occupy a very important position and
00:20:09
was appointed in his place by machines, and
00:20:11
when our troops were prepared, a
00:20:14
blow was struck Well, the path of action
00:20:16
was played out, that is, the artillery smashed
00:20:18
these concrete Finnish fortifications,
00:20:21
there were special assault groups with the
00:20:24
participation of tanks,
00:20:25
artillery that followed the infantry
00:20:27
and at the beginning broke through one lane, the second with
00:20:31
heavy losses, but also fein and suffered
00:20:33
very heavy losses at that time and in the
00:20:36
end came to a choice and made a
00:20:40
choice, that is, in fact, already on March 4,
00:20:44
Mannerheim, addressing the government, then
00:20:47
already stated that the further continuation of
00:20:49
the war was lost, that is, we would lose
00:20:51
the capital and maybe lose independence,
00:20:53
we need to negotiate, and at that time the
00:20:56
international situation developed in
00:20:58
such a way that both sides were
00:21:00
already seeking chambers why because it
00:21:04
became clear to the Finns that no one would help them, neither
00:21:06
England nor France and Germany,
00:21:09
since Sweden, in the first place, did not want
00:21:12
this expeditionary force to
00:21:15
pass through its territory; moreover, yes,
00:21:18
England and France were primarily occupied with
00:21:21
the possibility of somehow inter
00:21:24
-nationalizing the conflict by drawing in
00:21:28
additional forces there precisely on
00:21:32
this Scandinavian peninsula so that
00:21:35
Germany would tie up there with England and France,
00:21:39
as if they would pull back the forces of Germany, and
00:21:41
maybe then make peace with Germany, that is,
00:21:44
German intelligence spread
00:21:47
these rumors and England, France and the
00:21:51
authorities would listen carefully to this
00:21:53
if we count the documents that
00:21:55
came out so that England and France
00:21:58
were then ready to
00:21:59
make peace with Germany, and as soon as this
00:22:04
happened, England, France and Germany
00:22:08
would jointly attack the Soviet
00:22:10
Union, that is, the plan
00:22:12
to strike on the side and formidably had already been
00:22:14
developed, respectively, the Caucasus was leaving the
00:22:17
spheres of influence of Great Britain, Ukraine,
00:22:20
Germany, and further on the list as they
00:22:23
say as it was in civilian life,
00:22:25
not for example, that is, they separated faith
00:22:26
influence, that’s the thought we
00:22:28
imagined for here, being punished as a
00:22:30
pawn in someone else’s game, and in fact, it
00:22:34
was clear that Finland would not receive
00:22:38
any help and the Soviet Union
00:22:39
would quickly leave Helsinki,
00:22:42
here the Finns decided to go
00:22:45
dinner measurements and we are afraid of this
00:22:49
international situation that
00:22:51
Germany may indeed make peace with England and
00:22:53
France and then there will be a solid front against us to
00:22:56
give what situation mac
00:22:58
we lie down, especially since Japan has not yet
00:23:01
been signed by us then we still have dollar
00:23:03
neutrality, we find ourselves faced with
00:23:06
everything hostile encirclement and
00:23:08
England France Germany Japan and whatever the
00:23:11
case may be, we also tried to
00:23:13
end this war faster if at the beginning, here are
00:23:15
our plans for the final stage of
00:23:18
the war, they were very carefully
00:23:20
prepared not to rush, even there was such a
00:23:22
command, that is, now we were in a hurry
00:23:25
as quickly as possible when I was busy Vyborg,
00:23:28
in fact, we were already seeking to conclude
00:23:31
measures, there were secret contacts already from
00:23:34
our Swedish embassy, ​​which was in charge of
00:23:37
Kontai, there were proverbial exits, and already with the
00:23:41
Finnish representatives, preliminary
00:23:43
agreements were reached and
00:23:46
negotiations opened in Moscow, which
00:23:48
quickly enough came already in chambers to resolve
00:23:52
this conflict, our demands,
00:23:54
of course, became stricter if at first we
00:23:57
arrived from Finland to a part of the
00:24:01
Karelian Isthmus, the
00:24:02
fishing peninsula, now the entire
00:24:06
Karelian came, in fact, part of the
00:24:09
fishing island and the base in Hunter, the
00:24:12
Franco base, which was supposed to cover the
00:24:15
withdrawal of the Gulf of Finland and a number of small
00:24:17
islands directly in the Gulf of Finland, the
00:24:19
companies were forced to agree and this is the
00:24:23
phenomenon of this war the fact that both
00:24:26
sides felt they could defeat him and the
00:24:28
Finns who fought were in charge of the matter
00:24:31
felt that they retained their
00:24:33
independence, indeed, after the
00:24:35
armistice, Finland even
00:24:37
formed a society of Soviet-Finnish
00:24:40
friendship, we resolved border issues,
00:24:43
and here we are, and of course, preserving the remains of the
00:24:46
soldiers who died in the tank, and we felt
00:24:48
yourself as a winner, well, firstly, you
00:24:50
acquired territories that we gave
00:24:52
us security, a feeling of security
00:24:53
in Leningrad, and in the end, yes, well,
00:24:57
Finland, at least for the near
00:25:01
future, as we thought, will not have an
00:25:04
arena where foreign troops will be stationed,
00:25:10
that’s what we had the feeling, well, he, of
00:25:13
course, the most severe
00:25:20
consequences, of course, you will refuse losses
00:25:23
lost killed and missing
00:25:26
died from wounds from 120,000 people Finns
00:25:31
about 25 thousand people for a small
00:25:34
country this is a lot almost the entire
00:25:36
adult population one way or another they
00:25:39
worked for the war or fought or with the
00:25:41
military industry,
00:25:43
for its part, did not know that this was a
00:25:49
big lesson for us, and in March
00:25:54
1940, a large meeting was held in the Kremlin in
00:25:57
which Stalin, of course, and all the
00:26:01
commanders participated. from the front commanders to the
00:26:04
battalion commander where frank,
00:26:07
if you read this
00:26:09
transcript of this meeting, an
00:26:11
absolutely frank conversation about our
00:26:15
shortcomings, uniforms not for skis, no
00:26:19
automatic weapons, training at the
00:26:21
company level of a battalion of a division regiment
00:26:24
leaves much to be desired, this is the most important
00:26:28
lesson we learned from Finnish war,
00:26:30
which is urgently needed and
00:26:33
mobilization requires an urgent
00:26:35
restructuring of the army training of an individual
00:26:38
soldier of a unit of a unit of formations, and
00:26:41
so on, a new people's commissar machine was appointed,
00:26:43
who began to carry out then
00:26:47
all this retraining, constant training until the
00:26:49
interaction of aviation troops with troops,
00:26:52
artillery, ground forces and with
00:26:55
rifle units, this
00:26:59
gave a lot we have the opportunity, despite the losses at the
00:27:02
beginning of the Great Patriotic War, we are still
00:27:05
more prepared for the third one, that
00:27:08
is, we realized that the war is not
00:27:11
so, but there is a walk there, and of course we
00:27:15
thought about it before, but the fact that it is connected
00:27:18
with the mobilization of huge resources to
00:27:21
human resources
00:27:22
with preparation with the need for
00:27:26
interaction between the branches of the military, they then
00:27:28
realized this and began to prepare the troops in a
00:27:30
completely different way, of course, not everyone
00:27:32
had time to do their homeland first,
00:27:35
but nevertheless, the negative
00:27:37
result was that before Finland
00:27:39
now looked more favorably at
00:27:41
Germany, which by the beginning of the Great
00:27:43
Patriotic War actually took
00:27:45
Finland as allies for did not become
00:27:47
a member of the Agante Comintern
00:27:50
bloc and actually gave up its
00:27:53
territory to the German troops
00:27:55
when Molotov was on a visit to Berlin
00:27:59
in the 1940 game
00:28:02
there Ribbentrop pointed out a quarrel and a
00:28:05
document here join us
00:28:07
yes Russia should go to the southern seas
00:28:11
url and Molotov said to Mutu, let's look at
00:28:13
Sandy, the
00:28:16
German troops are like why are they here,
00:28:22
let's and withdraw this is contrary to all
00:28:25
our agreements, the Germans went to find and
00:28:28
in the end, any of these sons, too,
00:28:30
they have already stopped, the Germans understood that the
00:28:32
main thing for us is safety In the
00:28:39
end, Hitler used
00:28:41
Finnish troops during the attack on the
00:28:44
Soviet Union for her it was members of the
00:28:47
fascist bloc and although the Finns call the
00:28:51
fighting on the Soviet-German
00:28:54
front on the Finnish border and further to the
00:28:57
east the war and continuation in reality
00:29:00
it was an attempt to build a great
00:29:05
Finland, that is, the implementation these
00:29:07
pre-war for the NSS facts speak about this,
00:29:09
that is, Lyalya
00:29:11
forty-one in June, also
00:29:14
attacking the Soviet Union,
00:29:16
although they say there that supposedly it was
00:29:19
after our bombing, excuse me, but they
00:29:22
already began to lay mines from Finnish
00:29:23
territory in the Gulf of Finland
00:29:25
planes took off here, water, our
00:29:28
territory, that is, where to go, and when
00:29:32
Finland filled the Soviet Union, it
00:29:34
captured vast territories of Soviet
00:29:37
Karelia, took captured petrozavodsk,
00:29:40
Medvezhyegorsk, cut this
00:29:44
railway, which actually went from
00:29:47
Leningrad to Muranovskaya,
00:29:49
thank God before the war, we managed to
00:29:52
create a side branch and therefore cargo under
00:29:55
Lend-Lease we passed through the territory
00:29:57
unoccupied by the Finns, if you failed to
00:29:59
do this it would have been even more difficult for us;
00:30:01
in fact, the Finns
00:30:02
then participated in the benefits of
00:30:05
Leningrad; this was the actual
00:30:06
complicity of Finland in the siege of Leningrad
00:30:09
and the victim of Leningrad is also on the Finnish
00:30:11
conscience; we have energy and although they say
00:30:14
today that Mannerheim
00:30:16
allegedly did not take Leningrad because he didn’t
00:30:19
want to, the fact is that if the Finns
00:30:22
could, they would have taken the offensive, we repulsed
00:30:26
their advance, and on the Karelian
00:30:28
Isthmus they crossed the old border and
00:30:31
we were higher than them from there in the forty-first
00:30:34
year also a liter and speaking about the plans of
00:30:38
Finland Wotan 41 years and yet they had
00:30:41
active contacts with the Germans Goering
00:30:43
talked to them and had a conversation and
00:30:46
Ribbentrop and other official what
00:30:48
are called Nazi leaders
00:30:51
Finland agreed with the German
00:30:54
plans that St. Petersburg’s house, as they
00:30:57
then said after the war, should not
00:30:59
exist how a big city, that is, the
00:31:00
desert was destroyed, Hitler back in September
00:31:03
said that to surround the city, to hurt,
00:31:05
to destroy, to destroy no one, let him die by starvation,
00:31:07
even if he Finland agreed with this,
00:31:10
did not think so, yes, this is their
00:31:12
official statement from President
00:31:14
Lotta, the Minister of Foreign Affairs, that
00:31:16
the border is between the great Germany and
00:31:19
as they said, the great Finland
00:31:20
should pass precisely for this reason, that is,
00:31:23
along the Neva like this, they wanted to divide it,
00:31:25
especially since the Finns said we don’t want to
00:31:27
protect the cities, we don’t need a big
00:31:29
city, it’s their idea,
00:31:32
what were they doing then in the
00:31:35
occupied territory, but enough
00:31:37
facts they are all known and
00:31:39
confirmed by the international community
00:31:40
w the Swiss Red Cross
00:31:43
wrote about this that on the territory of Soviet
00:31:46
Karelia 14 camps were organized
00:31:50
where the civilian population was kept,
00:31:52
primarily Russian,
00:31:55
Russian-speaking, and
00:31:58
there a third of the population actually died out in
00:32:01
true terrible conditions they were kept
00:32:05
like this You can include prisoners of war, the
00:32:08
Finns captured about 60 thousand of our
00:32:11
people, about a third of them died in
00:32:13
captivity, that is, it’s actually like
00:32:16
Germany and execution by torture, famine,
00:32:21
all of this had to be brought by our
00:32:23
civilian population of Karelia to
00:32:25
prisoners of war, and there were cases of data on the
00:32:28
brutal torture of our prisoners of war,
00:32:30
and this is not evidenced by only the act of the
00:32:33
emergency state commission, but
00:32:35
also our combat reports, I
00:32:37
definitely won’t have a gate in them, that is, they were a secret
00:32:40
report that was found on the Karelian
00:32:43
Isthmus in the forty-fourth year, when
00:32:45
he was liberated, they found a house with his wife and a basement in it,
00:32:49
walled up, and there were several
00:32:51
dozen of our fighters who
00:32:52
suffocated their backs, just wall them up,
00:32:55
these are also facts that today,
00:32:58
unfortunately, Finland does not like to remember,
00:33:00
saying that
00:33:02
there is no continuation of liberation, in fact,
00:33:04
41 44 it was an aggressive policy and an
00:33:08
attempt to build a great chemistry,
00:33:10
but thank God, thanks to the courage of the
00:33:13
soldiers in the year 1944 carried out the
00:33:17
selection of the Petrozavodsk ska operation here was
00:33:21
already completely different, our troops
00:33:23
fought, it was
00:33:24
new equipment and fighters who were stolen,
00:33:28
so to speak, they were advancing
00:33:32
if from the winter war, as the film
00:33:36
is called, the Soviet-Finnish war 39 40
00:33:39
Mannerheim lines we sold maybe
00:33:41
three months then here and about the roles,
00:33:43
literally in a week and a half the choice was freed,
00:33:47
a number of islands were freed and Finland was
00:33:50
already faced with the fact that
00:33:53
in the end, on September 19, 1944,
00:33:56
Finland
00:33:57
also agreed to
00:33:58
our peaceful conditions, that is,
00:34:00
to restore the borders of the fortieth year,
00:34:02
but we then took the place of the khanka for ourselves for
00:34:06
rent for rent a base park allowed,
00:34:08
which was then given to Finland anyway,
00:34:10
and here the Finnish losses, of course,
00:34:14
were
00:34:16
much greater in 1941, 1944, and a completely different
00:34:19
attitude, because it is known that we began to
00:34:23
help war criminals and
00:34:26
but we did not agree to this, by the way speaking, there is evidence that has
00:34:30
not yet been confirmed, but nevertheless,
00:34:32
evidence is often quoted
00:34:34
that Stalin herself allegedly personally crossed out
00:34:38
Mannerheim and the lists of war
00:34:40
criminals, why, but he probably understood
00:34:43
that this was an authoritative person during this winter
00:34:46
war, he admitted that Finland was being
00:34:49
defeated and then when he became
00:34:51
commander-in-chief and then the president of
00:34:53
Finland in 1944, it was
00:34:55
thanks to him that I
00:34:58
agreed to peaceful terms, that is,
00:35:00
we needed a
00:35:02
strong commander, an authoritative person
00:35:04
who would fulfill our conditions and, in the
00:35:07
end, would not allow him to
00:35:09
end up in some other place again.
00:35:10
blocs,
00:35:11
so it actually turned out here,
00:35:14
of course, the merit of our diplomacy is the
00:35:16
leadership in general and Finland, after
00:35:20
the war, was a neutral state,
00:35:22
which it remains to this day,
00:35:24
and this is very important, since here
00:35:27
she did not shout to any bloc on the one
00:35:30
hand, but on the other hand, friendly to us
00:35:32
a state that actually had
00:35:35
great
00:35:36
mutually beneficial economic ties with us, we
00:35:39
built channels together, the Finns built ships before the
00:35:42
jet for the Soviet Union, we supplied
00:35:45
raw materials to Athena, some products, I remember the
00:35:49
1980 Olympics-80 in Moscow,
00:35:53
in fact, it would have come to Moscow from
00:35:57
various food products that were
00:36:00
made for they have the roots of the Turk,
00:36:03
which was a novelty for Muscovites back then,
00:36:05
something like this came
00:36:09
that didn’t exist before, the Finns, they
00:36:11
also knew that it was profitable
00:36:15
to trade with Russia, they fought at the end of
00:36:18
all these conflicts, which, unfortunately, have
00:36:20
no place between the USSR and Soviet
00:36:24
Russia and Finland, the cheese of Finland in the 20th
00:36:27
century, should be done like this, and
00:36:30
indeed the Finns,
00:36:32
thank God, understood that living with us in
00:36:35
the world is very good and mutually beneficial and being a
00:36:38
neutral country,
00:36:40
so today Finland has very strong
00:36:42
forces that stand precisely for
00:36:45
neutrality and those forces that we are
00:36:47
trying to somehow then
00:36:50
they are also engaged in revanchism today in Finland, but
00:36:52
this is the fear that the Soviet Union is on
00:36:56
and it is better not to touch it and it is better
00:36:58
to live with it at least this is probably the main conclusion
00:37:00
that the Finnish leadership made,
00:37:02
this line is sometimes called and not
00:37:05
apiary stone rulers, that is, these
00:37:09
relationships when it is better to trade and
00:37:12
visit each other and engage in
00:37:14
tourism is the best way to
00:37:20
maintain our friendly relations
