RAUHANPYÖRÄILY 2020 – PEACE BIKE 2020 – МИРНЫЙ ВЕЛОСИПЕД 2020
In 2020 makes 100 years of the Tartu Peace Treaty between the Russian Socialist Federal Soviet (RSFSR), Finland and Estonia. The Tartu Peace Treaty was signed first between Soviet Russia and Estonia on February 2, 1920 and later between Soviet Russia and Finland on October 14, 1920 in Tartu (Estonia).
The Tartu Peace Treaty with the Russian Socialist Federal Soviet in 1920 was beneficial both for Finland and for Estonia. In the case of Estonia, it was the first democratic country to sign an official agreement with the Bolshevik regime and the acknowledgement of the independence and sovereignty of Estonia, being the Treaty of Tartu the birth certificate of the Republic of Estonia. In case of Finland, it ended the Soviet-Finnish war of 1918-1920 and it determined the new Finnish-Soviet border and territorial concessions made in favor of Finland.
