One major source of tension concerns Estonia’s demand that Russia recognise the validity of the 1920 Treaty of Tartu, which effectively established Estonia as an independent state by virtue of a clause under which Moscow renounced all rights of sovereignty over Estonia forever.
The treaty did not, of course, prevent the 1940 annexation, but recognition of its validity would, in Estonian eyes, demonstrate the legal continuity of the Estonian state from 1920 through to the present day.
The treaty question is linked to a border dispute in eastern Estonia, where Stalin altered the frontier after 1940 by incorporating about 2,000 square kilometres of Estonian territory into Russia, where it remains today.

In conjunction with the treaty, Soviet Russia had agreed to certain guarantees concerning the organization of East Karelian and Ingrian affairs and local autonomy.
The purpose of this basically absurd propaganda was to label Finland the aggressor and thus to damage its creditworthiness and reputation in the Nordic countries and the rest of Europe.
Soon after the peace treaty ending the Winter War a Finnish communist in Leningrad remarked - with some exasperation - that it had been a mistake to allow Finns to return home in the 1930s, where they had indulged in anti-Soviet agitation, the outcome of which was seen in the war.
