Finland faced way worse population odds in the Winter war, yet still managed to stop the Soviets. They had to concede some territory, but it was very far from a surrender.

It was precisely a surrender. Then they joined forces with the Nazis and got beaten again.

When did Soviet troops parade in Helsinki? When did Finland join USSR as one of its republics? Because that's what would happen if Finland surrendered. Finland was part of Russian empire just 20-something years ago, Stalin wouldn't be happy with just sliver of the land unless he was forced to a compromise.
