Why would Finland want to get a part of Russia that has never been theirs? That's like half of the original Russia.

This way, Finland would have been just as bad as Russia, controlling a huge foreign area just for power, and not caring about its people.

Because at the time, Finnish tribes populated all those areas in the north market yellow on the first map. We had no historical interest in conquering Novgorod or Moscow.

Finnish tribes? I think you mean Finnic tribes, right? Just like how Turkish and Turkic, and German and Germanic have different connotations.
