Carl-Gustaf Lilius's article on self-censorship in Finland, Dagens Nyheter, 13 May 1997; see Vladimirov, 1993. 2. H. Peter Krosby 1978 s. 165-7; see also The Times, 24 October 1968. 3. A great deal has been written in Europe about Finlandisation; for example, H. Peter Krosby, 1978. Self-censorship - that is, timid and over-cautious journalism - was characteristic of Finlandisation. Be­ cause of the theme of this book, Finlandisation is discussed in several connections - for example, in the chapter on Germany. 4. Interview with President Mauno Koivisto, 1995 and Paul, 1997. 5. Seppinen, 1997, pp. 137-44. 6. Geoffrey Smith, The Times, 24 October 1968, and interview with Geoffrey Smith, 1995. 7. Interview with State Secretary, Matti Tuovinen, of the Finnish For­ eign Ministry, 1996; and Tuovinen's diary, 1977. 8. Statements of the Soviet Embassy in Helsinki concerning the so-called dissident campaign of the socialist countries 10 March 1977, staff of the Central Committee of the CPSU, RTHSD f5, 073 n:o 1742. Inter­ view with Stefan Smirnov, 1995. 9. Manninen, 1994, pp. 332-4. 10. Paasikiven piiiviikirjat I osa, Nevakivi, 1995, for example, pp. 104-10, 261-4 (President Paasikivi's diaries). 11. Nortamo, 1991, HS kuukausiliite no. 17 (August supplement of Helsingin Sanomat). 12. The definition of self-censorship was developed in preparing this book; it applies explicitly to the Finnish media between 1945 and 1991. 13. Lilius, Kanava no. 1, 1975 and 1988. 14.

This idea has been the basis of Finnish caution in foreign policy through­ out history. The collapse of the Soviet Union, however, has had the result that leading politicians began to re-evaluate the geographical limitations placed on Finland in the mid-1990s. This has taken place 177 178 Notes in discussions on security policy, such as the debate on NATO mem­ bership for Finland. 22. After the Second World War, President J.K. Paasikivi instilled an at­ titude of caution in the leading newspapers in dealing with matters of foreign policy. Paasikivi's memoirs reveal his resolve in resisting Rus­ sian demands. 23.

  • Strategic Low Profile and Bridge-Building: Finnish Foreign Policy During Mauno Koivisto's Presidency
    Strategic Low Profile and Bridge-Building: Finnish Foreign Policy during Mauno Koivisto's Presidency Michiko Takagi Graduate Student of Nagoya University 1. Introduction This paper focuses on Finnish foreign policy conducted by Mauno Koivisto, who was the President of Finland between 1981 and 1994. In the beginning of 80s when he took office as president, relationship between superpowers was aggravated and the international tension flared up again, just called as “New Cold War”. However, after the change of political leader of the Soviet Union in 1985, the East and West tension relieved drastically, which eventually led to the end of the Cold War and reunification of Germany. Furthermore, a number of remarkable transformations in Europe began to occur, such as democratization in East European states, collapse of the Soviet Union and acceleration of European economic and political integration. During the Cold War, Finland maintained its independence by implementing “good-neighboring policies” towards the Soviet Union based on YYA treaty, bilateral military treaty with the Soviet Union (1948)1）, on the other hand, in spite of this, by pursuing policy of neutrality. In the period of “Détente” of 70s, Urho Kekkonen, the President of Finland at the time, carried out policy of active neutrality, which culminated in success of “Helsinki Process” in 1975 and this Finnish policy of bridge-building between East and West increased its presence in the international community. However, Finnish position and presence as a neutral country fluctuated during the “New Cold War” and the following end of the Cold War.

    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Helsingin yliopiston digitaalinen arkisto President Urho Kekkonen of Finland and the KGB K IMMO RENTOLA A major post-Cold War history debate in Finland has been over the role of President Urho Kekkonen and his relations with the Soviet Union, in particular with the Soviet foreign intelligence. No surprise to anybody, variance of interpretations has been wide, fuelled by scarcity of sources on the most sensitive aspects, by the unavoidable ambiguity of an issue like the intelligence, and even by political leanings.1 As things stand now, even a preliminary assessment of available evidence – viewed from a distance – might prove useful. The Soviet Union regularly tried to build back-channel contacts and confi dential informal links with the Western powers. On the Soviet side, these contacts were usually conducted by intelligence offi cers, as were those to Robert Kennedy on the eve of the Cuban missile crisis,2 and to Chancellor Willy Brandt during his new German Ostpolitik.3 By far the 1 A good introduction to Finnish studies on Kekkonen in J.

  • Hungarologische Beiträge 18, 2006
    HUNGAROLOGISCHE BEITRÄGE 18 BRIDGE BUILDING AND POLITICAL CULTURES Political Cultures in Urho Kekkonen’s Finland and János Kádár’s Hungary Heino NYYSSÖNEN 1 Introduction Comparing Finland and Hungary is a fruitful task despite the ap- parent historical differences: after the Second World War the for- mer remained a democracy whilst the latter became a dictatorship. Also their relation to their greatest and most powerful neighbour, Soviet Union, seems to be different. Hungary belonged to the same military pact as the Soviet Union, but Finland’s foreign pol- icy was based on the idea of neutrality. However, the difference between the most eastern country of the West and the most west- ern country of the East is not that evident. According to an old standpoint Finns and Hungarians are re- latives and with special relationship. We can, however, doubt that the structural similarities in language and common roots 6,000 years ago hardly make sense, when we study recent po- litical culture. Rather than ‘kinship’ the concept of national in- terest gained a more important role in mutual co-operation af- ter 1945. Nevertheless, maintaining the old idea of a relation- ship, defined as ‘scientific truth’, made communication easier between these two nations. Already in the end of the 1960s Hungary had most connections with Finland among capitalist countries. In Europe Finland became a forerunner also in the 1970s, when visa between the two countries was abolished. The purpose of this article is to compare political cultures in Finland and Hungary during the Urho Kekkonen and János Kádár era. The critical question is, what kind of results we can get, 13 HEINO NYYSSÖNEN when we compare these two countries to each other and not to their ‘traditional’ frames i.e.

  • From the Tito-Stalin Split to Yugoslavia's Finnish Connection: Neutralism Before Non-Alignment, 1948-1958
    ABSTRACT Title of Document: FROM THE TITO-STALIN SPLIT TO YUGOSLAVIA'S FINNISH CONNECTION: NEUTRALISM BEFORE NON-ALIGNMENT, 1948-1958. Rinna Elina Kullaa, Doctor of Philosophy 2008 Directed By: Professor John R. Lampe Department of History After the Second World War the European continent stood divided between two clearly defined and competing systems of government, economic and social progress. Historians have repeatedly analyzed the formation of the Soviet bloc in the east, the subsequent superpower confrontation, and the resulting rise of Euro-Atlantic interconnection in the west. This dissertation provides a new view of how two borderlands steered clear of absorption into the Soviet bloc. It addresses the foreign relations of Yugoslavia and Finland with the Soviet Union and with each other between 1948 and 1958. Narrated here are their separate yet comparable and, to some extent, coordinated contests with the Soviet Union. Ending the presumed partnership with the Soviet Union, the Tito-Stalin split of 1948 launched Yugoslavia on a search for an alternative foreign policy, one that previously began before the split and helped to provoke it. After the split that search turned to avoiding violent conflict with the Soviet Union while creating alternative international partnerships to help the Communist state to survive in difficult postwar conditions. Finnish-Soviet relations between 1944 and 1948 showed the Yugoslav Foreign Ministry that in order to avoid invasion, it would have to demonstrate a commitment to minimizing security risks to the Soviet Union along its European political border and to not interfering in the Soviet domination of domestic politics elsewhere in Eastern Europe.

  • From Personality Cult Figure to Camp Image – the Case of President Urho Kekkonen
    From personality cult figure to camp image – the case of President Urho Kekkonen Tuuli Lähdesmäki , University of Jyväskylä, Finland Volume 6, Issue 1 (May 2009) Abstract Former Finnish President Urho Kekkonen (1900-1986) has two debated monuments in Finland. The debates surrounding these monuments contain intense rhetoric which indicates a particular sentiment towards Kekkonen. This attitude is described in the article in terms of cultic discourse. During the first monument project at the end of the 1980s, Kekkonen was still broadly seen as an official political icon, which was approached through personality cultic discourse. The second monument was executed in 2000 after large critical debates over the Kekkonen era and his persona. As a result of these debates, the cultic discourse transformed its traits – Kekkonen was consciously seen as a mythological figure whose features could be exaggerated, ironized and turned into hilarious stories. In the postmodern atmosphere of the turn of the millennium, the figure of Kekkonen was even aestheticized as camp. This article explains how the cultic discourse about Kekkonen has changed in Finland during the past two decades. Keywords: personality cult, cultic discourse, camp, monument, Urho Kekkonen, Finland Cultic discourse in monument debates Erecting a monument for the commemoration of a person is a practice which frequently produces public discussions on the meanings of the monument. Sometimes the monuments even cause severe debates, in which people are only seemingly talking about the monument

Viewed from the perspective of several hundred years of history, the Arctic character and Northernness have never been recorded in the development plans or government programmes for the area that later became known as Finland in as much detail as they were in Finland’s Arctic Strategy published in 2010.
