Description: Good stamp. The Winter War also known as First Soviet-Finnish War was a war between the Soviet Union (USSR) and Finland. It began with a Soviet invasion of Finland on 30 November 1939, three months after the outbreak of World War II, and ended three and a half months later with the Moscow Peace Treaty on 13 March 1940. Despite superior military strength, especially in tanks and aircraft, the Soviet Union suffered severe losses and initially made little headway. The League of Nations deemed the attack illegal and expelled the Soviet Union from the organisation. Risto Heikki Ryti (3 February 1889 – 25 October 1956) served as the fifth president of Finland from 1940 to 1944. Ryti served (1939-1940) as prime minister during the Winter War of 1939-1940 and the Interim Peace of 1940-1941. Later he became president during the Continuation War of 1941-1944. After the war, Ryti was the main defendant in the Finnish war-responsibility trials (1945-1946). Ryti penned the 1944 Ryti–Ribbentrop Agreement (named after Ryti and Joachim von Ribbentrop), a personal letter from Ryti to Nazi German Führer Adolf Hitler whereby Ryti agreed not to reach a separate peace in the Continuation War against the Soviet Union without approval from Nazi Germany, in order to secure German military aid for Finland to stop the Soviet Vyborg–Petrozavodsk Offensive against Finland.
