Note: Finland, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, and the Ukraine gained their independence from the Russian Empire in 1917 with the abdication of Czar Nicholos II. All but Finland were later annexed by the revolutionary Bolsheviks. At first, in 1917, the Bolsheviks (world revolutionaries, many of whom were later liquidated by Stalin) operated out of Moscow and slowly but methodically expanded outward, eventually forming the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, with Russia as the center of gravity. Finland took advantage of its 22 years of freedom to improve and consolidate its political, economic, and military position, thus managing to avoid being "swallowed" by Russia.

Note: Soviet battleship Oktyabrskaya Revolutsiya redirects on Wikipedia to Russian battleship Gangut, which was not actually sunk. ... Part 2 of the above article from 1939 points out that the battleship was named Gangut under the Czarist regime and renamed Oktiabrskaya Revolutia (October Revolution) by the Soviets. ... According to Wikipedia, the Gangut's "participation in the Winter War was limited to a bombardment of Finnish 10-inch (254 mm) coast defense guns on 18 December 1939 at Saarenpää in the Beryozovye Islands before the Gulf of Finland iced over."

Note: Soviet battleship Oktyabrskaya Revolutsiya redirects on Wikipedia to Russian battleship Gangut, which was not actually sunk. ... Part 2 of the above article from 1939 points out that the battleship was named Gangut under the Czarist regime and renamed Oktiabrskaya Revolutia (October Revolution) by the Soviets. ... According to Wikipedia, the Gangut's "participation in the Winter War was limited to a bombardment of Finnish 10-inch (254 mm) coast defense guns on 18 December 1939 at Saarenpää in the Beryozovye Islands before the Gulf of Finland iced over."
