Chief attention is directed to the shaping of diplomatic relations, the procurement of relief supplies for Finland, the resolution of the problem of obtaining recognition for Finnish independence and the issues of the Aland Islands (Ahvenanmaa) and East Karelia. The matter of intervention in Russia is also dealt with insofar as it relates to military operations planned by the so-called White Russians in the Finnish sector and the possible participation of Finland in such action as well as to the relations between the Western Powers and Finland in this connection. The questions involved had by and large emerged in the field of international politics before hostilities had ended, but the radical change in the world situation in the months of October and November 1918 gave them a different position and significance in many respects within the framework of relations between the Western Allies and Finland.

  • Modern British Art in Finland, 1906–1964
    Issue No. 4/2016 ‘New relations, unsuspected harmonies’: Modern British Art in Finland, 1906–1964 Inga Fraser // Assistant Curator of Modern British Art, Tate, London __________ The above quotation1 is taken from a description penned by Roger Fry of a painting by Paul Cézanne, Les Maisons Jaunes, (1879–82), now known as The Viaduct at L’Estaque, which was shown at the exhibition, ‘Manet and the Post-Impressionists’, at the Grafton Galleries in London from 8 November, 1910 to 11 January, 1911. This work was acquired for the collection of the Finnish Art Society at the Art Museum of the Ateneum in Helsinki,2 following discussion involving the London-based Finnish art historian Tancred Borenius and the Finnish professor of aesthetics and literature Yrjö Hirn. Copies of the letters between Borenius and Hirn held in the archive collections of the Finnish National Gallery show the extent to which Fry influenced this particular acquisition. Borenius refers to Fry’s direct involvement in the selection of acquisitions, recommends Fry to Hirn as one of Europe’s foremost connoisseurs and, finally, mentions the fact that Fry promised to publish a written appraisal of the acquisition in The Burlington Magazine, thus validating the quality and value of the painting in the eyes of the public. With increasing infrastructure and affluence in the first half of the 20th century, travel and international communications became more viable for artists, critics, scholars and collectors alike in Europe. Consequently, the period 1905–65 was witness to the rapid expansion of the art market. National museums in a number of European capitals outside the established art market centres of London, Paris, Vienna, Moscow and St.

Box 1346 Ann Arbor, Ml 48106-1346 m Library 1 and Economy Scieno F S 3 0 9 Abstract During the Cold War, neutral Finland shared a long border with the Soviet Union. Despite two wars against the Soviet Union (1939-1940 and 1941-1944), and the threat of communist takeover, Finland survived as an independent, democratic country with a market economy. When the Cold War started in the late 1940s, the United States government and the British Foreign Office began to view trade as a potential means of drawing Finland closer to the West and preventing it from falling under Soviet domination. The extensive evidence of this has led many historians to underline the role of political considerations in Western foreign economic policy towards Finland. The present work argues that the Cold War rhetoric of the British Foreign Office paints a misleading picture of British government policy.
