As a Karelian, I have a personal attachment to my late father's village, which lost its homes during World War II. From what I gathered from my late aunts, there was a lot of propaganda flying around from both sides after the civil war in 1917. I encourage everyone to look up Finnish film "The Eternal Road." It really illustrates how propaganda can twist our understanding of the truth. Plus, it highlights the story of how 10,000 Americans immigrated to the USSR.
