Ok shameless self advertising but linked from here,https://fooddeserts.org/images/000Finland.htm
is a map showing in detail the borderlands Finland has lost to the Soviet Union (as then was)
Finland fought a short but tough and fierce conflict with the USSR in 1940, the Winter War and Continuation War. Finland also supported the anti-Bolshevik forces earleir on in the 1920s. Perhaps for this reason the USSR felt the need to pudh the Finnish border back from Leningrad, and to cut off their northen Arctic port of Pechenga.
