Khrushchev pegged Soviet casualties even higher at about one million.

I'm imagining this text on an image of the White Walkers.

A frozen Soviet soldier is propped up on a stick by Finnish infantry to scare their enemies

Simo Häyhä, who in the span of only 100 days killed between 250 and 500 Soviet soldiers with a sniper rifle and submachinegun.

"(...) on 6 March 1940, Häyhä was hit in his lower left jaw by an explosive bullet fired by a Red Army soldier. He was picked up by fellow soldiers who said 'half his face was missing', but he did not die, regaining consciousness on 13 March, the day peace was declared."

505 confirmed btw. Actual number is probably much higher since he was shooting across the border

Some of Simo Hayha's figures are from a Finnish Army document (counted from beginning of the war, 30/11/1939):

22 December 1939: 138 sniper kills[17]
26 January 1940: 199 sniper kills[18]
17 February 1940: 219 sniper kills[16]
7 March 1940 (when Simo Hayha were seriously wounded): total of 259 sniper kills[16]

And then also:

According to Western sources, Simo Häyhä has been credited with 505 confirmed sniper kills.[2] A daily account of the kills at Kollaa was made for the Finnish snipers. However, he was also known to carry and use a submachine gun, and though very few of his kills using this weapon were confirmed, as such, the true count is thought to be much higher, more than likely around 800 kills.[2][8]

So, it's not as clear cut as you imply, but it's well into the hundreds, and he was killing multiple people on average every day for the entire time he was on the front. Very impressive.
