Didn’t work out quite so well for Russia the last time. It was the Red Army’s terrible performance against the Finns that encouraged Hitler to attack.

True enough, on the other hand, Finland was lucky Stalin left them alone as WW II drew to a close. The Red Army in 1945 was not the Red Army of 1939. Zhukov and the boys would have crushed Finland in a week or two.

As it was, Stalin was satisfied with some territorial concessions.
