The Moscow Peace Treaty between the USSR and Finland was concluded on March 12, 1940, ending the Soviet-Finnish War of 1939-1940. The treaty changed the Soviet-Finnish border established by the Tartu Peace Treaty (1920).
The treaty fixed territorial changes:
The northern part of the Karelian Isthmus with the cities of Vyborg and Sortavala, a number of islands in the Gulf of Finland, part of the Finnish territory with the city of Kuolayarvi, part of the Rybachy and Sredny peninsulas were transferred to the USSR. As a result, Lake Ladoga was completely within the borders of the USSR.
The USSR leased a part of the Hanko Peninsula (Gangut) for a period of 30 years to create a naval base on it.
As a result of the signing of the treaty, most of the territory of Karelia, returned to the Russian Kingdom after the Peace of Nishtadt in 1721, which ended the Northern War, and was part of the Russian Empire until 1917, turned out to be part of the USSR
