Time in office of all leaders of Finland

  1. it’s crazy that Kekkonen was in power longer than most Czars… Also, hopefully we are never put in that situation again.

  2. The war-time presidents Kallio, Ryti and Mannerheim all had very short terms. Kallio basically dropped dead from stress, Ryti was sentenced to prison in a kangaroo court, and Mannerheim fled to Switzerland.

  3. What are Finns opinion on Mannerheim? I’m American so I have an outsiders opinion from reading about him but how do Finns feel about him as a leader? Is he seen as a defender of the early republic or as a Nazi Collaborator?
