Now, some of the largest contiguous empires in world history were the Russian Empire, and the Soviet Union (well, they claimed to be anti-imperialist, but I am going to call them as such for the sake of this thread). I like reading about Russian history, and since I don't participate in any other forum, I thought it'd be interesting to discuss it here!!
On the other hand, with World War II also came territorial gains for the Soviet Union. Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania were completely re-incorporated into the Soviet Union. Poland, Romania, Czechoslovakia, Germany and Finland all made territorial concessions in Eastern Europe too. In terms of Asia, the Soviet Union also took the once-disputed Kuril islands, along with South Sakhalin. Tuva, which become a nominally independent country after the collapse of the Qing Dynasty in China, was also incorporated into the Soviet Union during the Second World War.

This topic even about Russia anymore? If you want to debate, find a suitable thread or post some awesome russian maps about Finland taking back Russia or something :P.

Here you go. In contrast to the pics above where Soviets have snatched some border areas of Finland in 1940, when the Finns started their counter-offensive into Soviet Union in 1941, with the backing of the German Operation Barbarossa, the dream was to conquer and establish Greater Finland:
But it really depended on the success of the German Operation Barbarossa of course.

So, I'm confused. Is that what you want, then? A "Greater Finland"?
