  Shelling of Mainila - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Shelling of Mainila was a military incident on November 26, 1939, during which the Red Army imitated shooting at the border village of Mainila, Russia while pretending that the shelling originated from Finland and claiming losses in personnel, thus getting a great propaganda bonus that launched the Winter War four days later.
However, in the days following the Shelling of Mainila, the Soviet propaganda machine generated publicity about other fictitious Finnish aggression, renounced the non-aggression treaty with Finland, and on November 30, 1939 launched the first offensives of the Winter War.
Recently after declassifying the related military documentation it was confirmed that the daily reports from troops dislocated in the area did not report any losses in personnel during the time period in question, thus proving the forgery.
