Скачать или смотреть The Winter War: How Finland Stopped the Soviet Union

In 1939, a small nation faced one of the world’s largest military powers — and survived.
This is the full story of the Winter War between Finland and the Soviet Union.


The Winter War was not just a conflict of armies — it was a battle of endurance, strategy, and survival in one of the harshest environments on Earth.

In this 15-minute documentary-style deep dive, we explore how Finland resisted the Soviet invasion during the winter of 1939–1940, despite being vastly outnumbered and under-equipped.

From frozen forests and guerrilla tactics to the rise of legendary sniper Simo Häyhä, this video examines the human cost, military decisions, and political consequences of a war that reshaped Northern Europe.

This is not a summary — it’s a deep, atmospheric reconstruction of one of history’s most brutal winter conflicts.
