They Breed them Tough in Finland

This is my next door neighbour up on her roof clearing the snow off it. 
During WWII the Russians invaded Finland (they still claim that the Finns attacked them first, early form of fake news) and were driven out and back into Russia. Later they attacked again and although the Finns were forced to cede Karelia, the second round could best be described as an honourable draw. Whatever possessed the Soviets to think that they could beat a nation which breeds women like this, is a mystery to me. Just imagine what their fighting men must be like.
Oh! did I mention that this lady is in her seventies? Like I say, they breed them tough over here.
