  • Kekkonen, Niinistö Ja Koivisto Arvostetuimmat Presidentit
    TIEDOTE 1 Kansalaiset: Kekkonen, Niinistö ja Koivisto arvostetuimmat presidentit Kaikkien aikojen arvostetuimmiksi tasavallan presidenteiksi nousevat Urho Kekkonen ja Sauli Niinistö, käy ilmi KAKS – Kunnallisalan kehittämissäätiön kansalaistutkimuksesta. Noin puolet (49 %) suomalaisista asettaa Kekkosen kolmen eniten arvostamansa presidentin joukkoon. Kekkosen niskaan hengittää istuva tasavallan presidentti Niinistö, jonka myös lähes joka toinen (45 %) valitsee kolmen arvostetuimman joukkoon. Kolmanneksi arvostetuin on Mauno Koivisto (35 %). Itsenäisyyden ajan neljä ensimmäistä tasavallan presidenttiä sijoittuvat kansalaisten arvostuslistalla tyveen. Tulos ei tarkoita, etteikö heitä arvostettaisi, mutta tänä päivänä vähemmän kuin kolmea kärkeen sijoittunutta. Todennäköisesti ainakin nuoremmalle osalle väestöä heidän saavutuksensa ovat tuntemattomia. Sen sijaan neljä viimeisintä presidenttiä ovat kaikki kuuden arvostetuimman joukossa. Naiset arvostavat Halosta ja Koivistoa enemmän kuin miehet Miesten ja naisten välillä on eroa arvostuksissa. Kekkosen ja Niinistön arvostus on tosin suurinta molemmissa ryhmissä. Naiset antavat kuitenkin tunnustusta keskimäärää useammin etenkin Tarja Haloselle ja Mauno Koivistolle. Miehistä vain joka viides (22 %) sijoittaa Halosen kolmen arvostetuimman joukkoon, naisista kaksi viidestä (39 %). Miesten parissa mainitaan naisia useammin Ryti, Mannerheim ja Paasikivi. Halosen ja Ahtisaaren arvostus on hivenen korkeampaa nuorimman ikäluokan keskuudessa. Tulos kielii siitä, että etenkin alle 35-vuotiaat naiset

Risto Rytin sankaruus ja uhrius. Pro gradu –tutkielma, 76 s. Valtio-oppi Joulukuu 2014 Tutkielma käsittelee Risto Rytin toimia sotien aikana, erityisesti jatkosodan lopussa, sankaruuden viitekehyksen kautta. Sankaruuteen läheisesti liittyvä uhrius, uhraus ja uhrautuminen kuvastavat erityisesti Rytistä kerrottuja kertomuksia. Tutkimusote on kertomusanalyyttinen. Sankaruus ja tarinallisuus kuuluvat lähtökohtaisestikin yhteen. Sankaruus luodaan kertomusten välityksellä, joita sankarista kerrotaan. Kertomus on jonkun merkityksellisen asian välittämistä eteenpäin vaikkapa sanoin. Tarina on se kertomuksen syvärakenne, joka herättää kuulijassaan tunteita ja jättää tälle jonkin uskon. Sankaritarinoiden kertominen on myös poliittinen teko, sillä tarinan kertoja on muotoillut kertomuksensa haluamansalaiseksi. Kertomuksen esittäjä näkee asioiden välillä yhteyksiä, rajaa kertomansa asiat ja jopa juonellistaa kertomuksensa. Sankaruutta käsiteltäessä huomio kiinnittyy tässä tutkielmassa nationalismiin, sotaan, identiteettiin ja sankaruuden universaaleihin piirteisiin. Risto Rytin osalta tutkimuskysymys käsittelee

Finnish-born conductor and composer Esa-Pekka Salonen has strong connections to the UK, where his international debut took place in 1983 when he was first invited to conduct the Philharmonia Orchestra in London. Salonen was the Philharmonia Orchestra’s Principal Guest Conductor from 1985–1994 and has been Principal Conductor there from 2008 through June 2021. Following his tenure in that position, he will become the Philharmonia Orchestra’s Artistic Advisor and Conductor Emeritus. “This is a true personal honour, but more than that, it is meaningful to have artists honoured at a national—at a historical—level. It shows an appreciation of art-making as a necessary part of society. A recognition that culture is who we are, not just what we do. I am grateful for my time in London and throughout the UK with the Philharmonia Orchestra. I share this with them,” says Esa-Pekka Salonen. Only a small number of Finns have received British honorary knighthoods. Salonen joins former Presidents Martti Ahtisaari and Urho Kekkonen, Prime Minister of Finland and President of the UN General Assembly Harri Holkeri, former President and Marshal of Finland C. G. E. Mannerheim and former Prime Minister, President and the Governor of the Bank of Finland Risto Ryti.

The Finnish War-Responsibility Trial, 1945–1946 Immi Tallgren* 36.1. Why and How to Write about the Finnish War-Responsibility Trial Today? In place of a complicated empirical world, men hold to a relatively few, simple, archetypal myths, of which the conspiratorial enemy and the omnicompetent hero-savior are the central ones. In consequence, people feel assured by guidance, certainty and trust rather than paralyzed by threat, bewilderment, and unwanted personal responsibility for making judgements.1 For the political historian Karl Deutsch, a nation is “a group of people united by a mistaken view about the past and a hatred of their neighbours”. Accounts of the past are one of the ways in which individuals and communities construct their identity.

  • Romania and Finland in the Aftermath of the Operation Barbarossa (1941)
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Directory of Open Access Journals Revista Română pentru Studii Baltice şi Nordice, Vol. 2, Issue 2, 2010, pp. 249-284 ROM “ALLIES WITHOUT ALLIANCE” TO CONCERTED ACTION: ROMANIA AND F FINLAND IN THE AFTERMATH OF OPERATION BARBAROSSA (1941) Silviu Miloiu Valahia University of Targoviste, E-mail: [email protected] Abstract: This study describes the relationship between two small and lesser states joining the German attack against Soviet Union in an attempt to recapture the territories lost to Soviet Union in 1940. It is conceived as an in-depth analysis of the Romanian-Finnish relations based on the criticism of archival sources discovered in the Romanian, Finnish and British archives. Becoming “allies without alliance” almost overnight, the relations between the two countries acknowledged a quick shift from low profile bonds to an agreement based on a combination of balance of power and joint action. The aim was to remove the threat Russia was posing to the two countries and to increase their influence at a peace conference to be open following the expected defeat of their big neighbour. Romania was the advocate of closer ties between the two countries keeping in line with its search for influence rather than autonomy in its foreign relations, while Finland was more prudent consistent with its choice for autonomy rather than influence. Rezumat: Acest studiu descrie relaţiile dintre două state mici şi mijlocii care s-au alăturat atacului german împotriva Uniunii Sovietice într-o încercare de a-şi recâştiga teritoriile pierdute în favoarea acestei mari puteri răsăritene vecine în anul 1940.

  • COUNTERING the SOVIET GREAT OFFENSIVE on the KARELIAN ISTHMUS in 1944 – the SIGNIFICANCE of the EUROPEAN THEATRE of WAR in CONTEXT Adj
    COUNTERING THE SOVIET GREAT OFFENSIVE ON THE KARELIAN ISTHMUS IN 1944 – THE SIGNIFICANCE OF THE EUROPEAN THEATRE OF WAR IN CONTEXT Adj. Prof. Lasse Laaksonen (Finland) With German support, the Finnish army had been able to retake areas lost during the Winter War fought against the Soviet Union. They had advanced to the Olonets Isthmus in East Karelia and stopped at the Svir River line. Despite German demands, President Risto Ryti and Supreme Commander Carl Gustaf Emil Mannerheim, Marshal of Finland, refused to launch an offensive against Leningrad. A political union with Germany was also declined. By 1944, the political situation concerning the war had become unfavourable for Finland. The Soviet Union had grown stronger after the Soviets had seized the initiative from Germany on the Eastern Front, and this had had an effect on the Finnish position. Tentative plans for peace had failed after the great power had stepped up its demands. Finland was also all but dependent on the munitions aid and grain deliveries provided by Germany. When the siege of Leningrad crumbled in January 1944, the Soviets began to pay more attention to the Finnish battlefront. It had long remained quiet, as no notable battles had been fought for some years. Irritated by Finland’s attempts to achieve a separate peace in April, Germany had cut off aid deliveries. This had a detrimental effect on the small Finnish army’s defence capacity. The Soviets had already attempted to break the Finnish backbone by bombing Helsinki heavily on three separate occasions in February. The consensus in the General Staff of the Armed Forces of the Soviet Union (the so-called Stavka) was that defeating Finland would further the efforts to drive Germany out of the Baltics.

  • Speech on the Bicentenary of the Bank of Finland, 6 May 20111
    SPEECH ON THE BICENTENARY OF THE BANK OF FINLAND, 6 MAY 20111 Mr. Governor - Erkki, Fellow Governors, Hyvät Naiset ja Herrat, Mina Damer och Herrar, Ladies and Gentlemen, Bicentenaries are special occasions. In my lifetime, we have experienced the bicentenaries of American Independence and the French Revolution. In comparison with those two events, you might think that the founding of the Bank of Finland would be a less significant event. You would be wrong. In fact, the Bank of Finland is a remarkable institution. Created by the reforming spirit of Tsar Alexander I, making it the fourth oldest central bank in the world, the Bank of Finland started life representing only one part of a larger Russian state, issuing first kopecks and then its own markka notes, and is now part of a European monetary union with a single currency. Much happened along the way, as Erkki Liikanen explained yesterday and as is admirably described in the superb history of the Bank by Antti Kuusterä and Juha Tarkka. 2 As that book makes clear, the history of the Bank of Finland is one of continuous involvement with the international economic scene. Founded at a time of monetary disarray in Europe, shepherding its nation towards independence at a time of turmoil in the Great War, dealing with the challenges of the gold standard and its subsequent breakdown in the interwar period, and finally preserving national independence and subsequent integration into European monetary union, the Bank of Finland has shown the way to its bigger brothers on more than one occasion. 3 The importance of the Bank of Finland in the political and economic life of this country was evident when I first visited the Bank more than forty years ago – long before I visited the Bank of England for the first time.

Tutkimustyötä johtaisi pitkäjänteisesti sitoutunut ja tieteellisesti pätevä toimikunta, joka valitsisi elämäkertojen kirjoittajat ja hyväksyisi tutkimukset julkaistaviksi. Elämäkertojen kirjoittajiksi valittaisiin yksi kokenut tutkija elämäkertaa kohden, jolta edellytettäisiin tutkimuksessaan tarkkoja lähdeviittauksia ja primaariaineiston käyttöä. Teokset julkistettaisiin juhlavuoden alkupuolella vuonna 2017.
