Finnish Democratic Republic

The Finnish Democratic Republic was a Communist regime in parts of Finland that were under Soviet Union occupation during the Winter War.

It was established on December 1, 1939, in the then-Finnish town of Terijoki (which is now Zelenogorsk in Russia). During its lifespan its Chairman was Otto Ville Kuusinen. On March 12, 1940, it was merged with the Karelian ASSR within the Russian SFSR to form the Karelo-Finnish SSR, a Soviet republic in its own right.
