June 25: stupidity or aggression?

For many decades, the Second Soviet-Finnish War was (and still is) an "unknown" and "lost" war. The Radinformburo did not report either the beginning (June 25, 1941) or the end (September 19, 1944) of the war, which claimed the lives of more than 100,000 Red Army soldiers and commanders and enabled the long-term blockade of Leningrad.
