Exactly the latter. If Russia had stayed on good terms with the West after the war, instead of being retconned as a villain, Finland would only be mentioned in the history books as an evil Nazi ally.

You don't think illegal invasion of Poland and much of the Eastern Europe qualifies you as a villain without "retconning"?
See, the only thing they had going for them was the "enemy of my enemy" thing, and that just wasn't the case after the war, for that enemy did not exist any more, unlike everything else they had done.
