DISINFO: In 1931 Mannerheim started war-preparation against the USSR

SUMMARY

In 1931, Carl Gustaf Emil Mannerheim started war-preparation against the USSR to annex the Karelo-Finnish Soviet Socialist Republic.

RESPONSE

A "documentary" repeats at least ten lies about the Winter War and Finnish-Russian relations.

Finland prepared to defend itself in case of war, not to attack Soviet Russia as the documentary claims. The Karelo-Finnish Soviet Socialist Republic was established only in 1940.

Debunked by the newspaper Ilta-Sanomat.

Cases in the EUvsDisinfo database focus on messages in the international information space that are identified as providing a partial, distorted, or false depiction of reality and spread key pro-Kremlin messages. This does not necessarily imply, however, that a given outlet is linked to the Kremlin or editorially pro-Kremlin, or that it has intentionally sought to disinform. EUvsDisinfo publications do not represent an official EU position, as the information and opinions expressed are based on media reporting and analysis of the East Stratcom Task Force.
