Heh... I find this story especially intriguing for some reason(I think it might be because I'm a finn...). Anywayas, into the content.

The name "Tora" is not a finnish name. Sure, Tero is, but Tora.... I've never heard of it. The story flows well, it's nice to read about the winter war from the russian side for a change.

The part about the russians losing the war. Well, they didn't officially lose it. A peace treity was made, where the russians were declared winners and the finnish president and a few other high officials were declared guilty for the war (actually the russians fired their own artillery at a russian village named Mainila, and blamed the finnish for it, thus getting an excuse for the war).

I really can't get the connection of the name of the story and the story itself. It's a good name though, I just can't see what it has to do with the story.

A few things I spotted that struck me as unrealistic.

First, during the war, no finn would have ever tried to make friends with russians, not even in a situation such as this. Anti-russian attitude was too strong. Also the russians were fed an anti-finnish attitude, so that both sides hated(or feared) each other too much to talk to each other.

Finns were especially merciless against russians; they would merely stop the huge troop columns and let them freeze to death, as the russians had no proper gear for temperature as low as -50 celcius and such vast quantities of snow that were present at that time.

Also, a guy has his right eye and a few of his hingers blown off by artillery and he just calmly continues hunting? Sounds a bit too tough to me.... But a great story altogether, keep it up!
