Russia invades Finland. Germany announces it's going to send lots of troops to Finland to fight against the Russians. Putin announces that if Germany does this he will drop an atomic bomb on Berlin. Germany then backs down.
Since Germany doesn't have atomic weapons, it can't credibly threaten Russia absent Russia invading Germany.

I think the scenario will be a wee bit different:
Russia invades Finland. Germany announces it's going to send lots of troops to Finland to fight against the Russians. Putin announces that if Germany does this he will drop an atomic bomb on Berlin. Terrified Russian elites remove Putin from power.
Even in Russia I don't think there is any political faction which thinks that a nuclear exchange is a good idea.
