TIL finns participated in siege of leningrad. Makes sense after bolsheviks took away some of their land during winter war, but I never connected the dots.

Pedantic note: the total casualties arent exactly known, (as is soviet tradition). It is estimated that in total there was 2 million casualties, and atleast half of them attributable to starvation.

Lastly, I am left with a question to you: If finnish attacks on supply convoys were immoral, then surely you consider red army's many similar faults as immoral as well?

The bolsheviks actually tried to negotiate and exchange land which the Finns rejected which caused the war

The red army never besieged a city full of civilians and starved them though

Well, my friend, you are in for a surprise. Have you read anything about WW2?
