If you scroll out just a tad, some of those features look awesome, like leafless trees on a sunset background.  Who would have thought something so burned looking could also look so awesome?

I am thinking Petrozavodsk, Russia.  It was the site of a significant Soviet offensive in 1944 to re-claim territory lost to Finland.

Mensa found the place.
The village at the center of the pic was called Mainila in 1939.

An invented smoking gun of that time, a fake justification for starting the Winter War.

Anyone found the city yet?
