  • Latvian–Finnish Economic Relations 1918–19401
    71 https://doi.org/10.22364/hssl.28.1.05 LATVIAN–FINNISH ECONOMIC RELATIONS 1918–19401 Viesturs Pauls Karnups Dr. oec. Abstract This article provides an overview of Latvian-Finnish economic relations in the interwar period. In the interwar period, economic relations between Latvia and Finland were mainly confined to foreign trade, although there were some investments in Latvia from Finland as well. Latvia declared its independence in 1918, however normal trade with Finland did not commence until 1920 after the end of the Latvian War of Independence. It ended with the outbreak of the Winter War in 1939. Latvia’s foreign trade in relation to Finland was more or less regulated by the 1924 Commercial and Navigation treaty, as well as the 1936 Commercial Agreement. Latvia’s main imports from Finland in the interwar period were textiles and textile products, metals and metal products, cellulose, paper and paper products, agricultural machinery, and knives and knife products, whilst Latvia’s main exports to Finland were rubber products, gypsum, bone meal, paint and paint products, seeds, radios and linoleum. In general, trade and thus economic relations were of marginal significance to both countries in the interwar period due mainly to the similarities of their economic structures. On the other hand, Latvia had fairly intensive relations with Finland in the political, social and cultural spheres. This was mainly due to the fact of geographic propinquity, and Finland’s special relationship to Estonia, which was Latvia’s neighbour and closest ally. Keywords: Latvia, Finland, economic relations, interwar period Introduction Although Latvians had had sporadic contact with the Finns in previous centuries, especially after Finland was annexed to the Tsarist Empire, it was in the aftermath of the 1905 revolution and during WWI that a large number of Latvian intelligentsia (writers, public figures, etc.) found refuge in Finland.2 After WWI and into the 1920s, Finland was regarded as a Baltic State along with Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania and to a lesser extent Poland.

  • Presidential Elections 2018
    Elections 2018 Presidential elections 2018 First election, preliminary information Sauli Niinistö was elected President in the first election in 2018 In the first election for the President, Sauli Niinistö received the majority of the votes cast and was elected the President of the Republic of Finland. The candidate of a constituency association, the incumbent president Niinistö received slightly over 1,874,000 votes in the election, that is, 62.7 per cent of all votes cast. Pekka Haavisto, the candidate of the Green League, received the second most votes (nearly 371,000). Haavisto’s share of votes cast was 12.4 per cent. The difference between the two candidates with most votes cast was thus around 1,500,000 votes and 50.3 percentage points. Helsinki 30.1.2018 Quoting is encouraged provided Statistics Finland is acknowledged as the source. Support for the presidential candidates in the Presidential election 2018, first election, and support for the corresponding party in the Presidential election 2012 and the Municipal elections 2017, % Sauli Niinistö/constituency association B (corresponding party KOK), Paavo Väyrynen/constituency association A (corresponding party KESK) Niinistö’s share of votes cast was 25.7 percentage points higher than in the first round of the Presidential election in 2012. The support for Niinistö was 42 percentage points greater than the support for the Coalition Party used as his corresponding party in the Municipal elections 2017. In turn, Haavisto's share of votes cast was 6.4 percentage points lower than in the 2012 Presidential election. However, Haavisto's share of votes was almost the same (only 0.1 percentage points lower) as the share of votes cast for the Green League in the Municipal elections 2017.

  • 1 Between Defeat and Victory: Finnish Memory Culture of the Second
    This is the accepted manuscript of the article, which has been published in Scandinavian Journal of History. 2012, 37(4), 482-504. https://doi.org/10.1080/03468755.2012.680178 Between defeat and victory: Finnish memory culture of the Second World War Ville Kivimäki, Åbo Akademi University, Finland Abstract: The article focuses on five essential phenomena in the Finnish memory culture of the three Finnish wars fought in 1939–45, namely, 1) the memory of the fallen; 2) the influential work by author Väinö Linna; 3) the contested memory politics and veteran cultures in the 1960s and 1970s; 4) Germany and the Holocaust in the Finnish memory culture; 5) and the ‘neo-patriotic’ turn in the commemoration of the wars from the end of the 1980s onwards. The Finnish memory culture of 1939–45 presents an interesting case of how the de facto lost wars against the Soviet Union have been shaped into cornerstones of national history and identity that continue to have significance even today. Using the growing research literature on the various aspects of the Finnish war memories and memory politics, the article aims, first, at outlining a synthesis of the memory culture’s central features and, second, at challenging the common contemporary conception, according to which the Finnish war veterans would have been forgotten, neglected and even disgraced during the post-war decades to be ‘rehabilitated’ only from the end of the 1980s onwards. Keywords: war (the Second World War); Finland; memory; commemoration; war veterans; war memorials; war fiction; the Holocaust; finlandisation 1 Between defeat and victory Finnish memory culture of the Second World War1 1.

  • The Image of Marshal Mannerheim, Moral Panic, and the Refashioning of the Nation in the 1990S
    CHAPTER 14 The Image of Marshal Mannerheim, Moral Panic, and the Refashioning of the Nation in the 1990s Tuomas Tepora INTRODUCTION The end of the Cold War resulted in radical changes in Finland’s interna- tional position and economy. It sparked an identity struggle, seen within society as soul-searching. One of the major national symbolic fgures, Marshal Carl Gustaf Emil Mannerheim (1867–1951), the Civil War (1918) and World War II military leader and the President of Finland (1944–1946), became a mirror in this collective introspection. This chap- ter addresses the personality cult surrounding Marshal Mannerheim, as well as the alternating images of him, as keys to understanding the emo- tional and social upheavals within Finnish society in the early 1990s. The chapter focuses on the debate in the early 1990s concerning the construction of the Museum of Contemporary Art next to the Mannerheim T.

TEPORA equestrian statue at the heart of Helsinki. The debate offers invaluable insight into the emotional memory politics, the layers of memories, and future expectations in the post-Cold War nation. In the early 1990s, the Mannerheim statue and contemporary art formed an oxymoron that seemed to threaten the moral base of the nation. The juxtaposition sym- bolized a moral panic that concerned the lived experience of Finland’s changing international position.
