Finnish Democratic Republic Totally Explained

Everything about The Finnish Democratic Republic totally explained

The Finnish Democratic Republic (Finnish: Suomen kansanvaltainen tasavalta) was a short-lived unrecognised Soviet puppet state in those parts of Finnish Karelia that were occupied by the Soviet Union during the Winter War. Its government was known under the name of the Terijoki Government. The Soviet Union argued that it was the only rightful government for all of Finland that was capable of ending the Winter War and restoring peace. However, before the end of the war the Soviets gave up this interpretation to make peace with the Finnish government.
   It was established on December 1, 1939, in the then-Finnish border town of Terijoki (which is now Zelenogorsk, part of the Saint Petersburg recreation area in Russia). During its lifespan Otto Ville Kuusinen was chairman and head of government.
   On March 12, 1940, it was merged with the Karelian ASSR within the Russian SFSR to form the Karelo-Finnish SSR, a Soviet republic in its own right, after Finland had ceded the areas to the Soviet Union in the Moscow Peace Treaty.
