Description

On November 30th 1939 Soviet Union attacked Finland, initiating the Winter War
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Winter_W…
According to the secret protocol of Molotov-Ribbentrop pact, Finland was in Soviet sphere of influence (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Molotov%…
Even though Finnish strength was far less powerfull than Soviet (2-3x less men; Tanks 32:2,5-6,5k; aircraft 114:3880), the Red army suffered heavy losses (~26k:126,8k dead).
In the result, Finland lost ~1/10 of it's territory, but remained independent.

In the honour of a (not so) small but brave nation. 
I dedicate this drawing to Talvisota 75th anniversary.
My respect to Finns! And Long live, Suomi!

About the drawing:
This was actually Hetalia fanart, fanart of Tino (aph Finland). But he is hardly recognisable here :D
The gun on the picture is Mosin-Nagant 1891, the most commonly used in the Winter war.
Being a girl made it hard to draw a rifle :D Don't blame me for details :'D
Sourses used:

Yeah, yeah! I know. The Red army didn't had such red coats (their uniform wasn't red at all :D otherwise they would be even more noticable on the snow :D ). This is just... symbolical :)

Hetalia belongs to Himaruya Hidekaz
