At least, that's how Haapsalu sees it. XD Not to mention Finland is practically family...!

In September, 1939, Soviet demanded the right to establish military bases in Estonia (then independent), as well as in the other two Baltic states and Finland. Soviet pressured Estonia by threatening war and accusing Estonia for being anti-Soviet and helped a Polish submarine escape despite claiming to be neutral in the ongoing WW2 (later, when Soviet occupied Estonia, they used the submarine's escape as an excuse for their occupation. In reality, Soviet had already decided to occupy the country beforehand). Estonia yielded and the first Soviet military troops arrived in Estonia in 18th October, 1939. Soviet kept putting pressure on Estonia and demanded changes (ex. changing the Estonian government to a more Soviet-friendly one and etc), which ultimately led Estonia to become a part of the Soviet union. Similar fates befell Latvia and Lithuania.

Meanwhile, Finland was initially open to the idea of some small border changes, but refused to agree to some other demands. Soviet was not open for negotiation however and withdrew from the nonaggression pact between them after the Finnish military killed four of Soviet's soldiers - the attack was later revealed to have been orchestered by the Soviets themselves and was merely an excuse to feed the propaganda against Finland. After that the Soviet military dropped bombs on Helsinki (the capital of Finland) in November 30th, Finland declared war and the Winter war started.

Finland and Estonia had previously had a military cooperation pact, but Estonia withdrew from it due to pressure from the Soviet union. When the Winter war began, Soviet carried out bombing raids from the military bases they had in Estonia (going against Estonia's neutrality and a previous agreement they had made). In Haapsalu, the Estonians managed to decipher Soviet's secret military code and thus warned the Finns of the bombing raids through a communication system they had established back when their militaries were still cooperating.

Haapsalu's contact with Finland was discovered eventually, but Soviet couldn't find the ones responsible, so she got away with it...! Lucky...!

I have no idea how military radio communication works, much less how they worked and looked like in the 30-40ies, so sorry if all the communications' devices are wrong. orz orz
