I am not sure. Stalin did not care who was with Nazis and who was not. Everyone who was captured by Germans considered as enemy of the people. Stalin has a secret (or not so secret) agreement with allies which allowed him to repatriate almost all POWs. Many soldiers went by their own will believing in Soviet propaganda leaflets planted by NKVD (KGB) in Europe. Maybe West bargained Finland for that. Who knows.
hey 63.17.60.252! Russia has many soldiers! Your 56K modem will burn out if you try to download pictures of all of them, scumbag.
63.17.60.252, one more crap from you and will lock your PC connection to the Internet. No kidding.
Finland had nothing to do with that repatriation thing. West was keen to keep Soviets out of Scandinavia. In 1940 brits were ready to send thousands of troops to Finland despite having already one major war on their hands.
During the WWII finns were very cooperative. On the request from the allies they stopped their offensive in 1941 and didn't cut a strategic railroad between Russian North and Mainland, so western supplies continued uninterrupted.
In the end of war finns retreated to the agreed borders and declared themselves neutral.
I think those actions were the compromise.
Walex,
Maybe Finland was not a good guess. It was a guess. Besides, Russians could capture Finland after WWII in a summer time, of course.
63.17.60.252,

Well, summer time - is it good guess or not... I don't know. Who am I to judge a substance of this claim. 🙂
Yep, it is all my Armenian fantasy after all. :0)
"...Also we are out of space to put the dead russian soldiers. Please come and pick up your belongings. A picture tells a thousand words."
... but a picture takes a thousand times more memory. That's probably why you are out of space.
63.11.94.195, A promise is a promise, foolio. Why don't you post any pictures. Come on!
British, now when you seem to resolve that annoying "space" issue, may I suggest you unstuck the Enter button on your keyboard. This is, most likely, a cause of the cycling while posting messages.
63.11.94.195, those are Chechens, stupid. It is well-known picture. I wonder how you managed to post, though. I thought I killed your modem connection by 95%. Oh well!
I think that those are not Chechens nor Russians. The season seems to be a summer.
Probably exhumed Kosovo Albanians...
Anyway, such images represent a mass-murder of unarmed population. Despicable.
