Lasse Lehtinen has evaluated the war guilt issue in his doctoral thesis, in which he examined the relations between the Social Democratic Party and Urho Kekkonen.
In the view of Lehtinen and Rautkallio, Stalin took a "soft line", and wanted Finland to remain under the leadership of President C.G.E. Mannerheim and Prime Minister J.K. Paasikivi, so that the deliveries of war reparations from Finland would be carried out on schedule.
Lehtinen’s and Rautkallio’s book is a vivid description of the multifaceted process which was pressed into the consciousness of the people as a humiliating acquiescence to Soviet power.
