Finnland

Der Gott Finnlands Urho Kaleva Kekkonen (glatzköpfig, mit mächtiger Brille) beobachtet die Eishockey-Weltmeisterschaft in Helsinki 1974. Der Fotograf hat den richtigen Winkel gewählt, hinter seinem Kopf sind Helsinkis Wappen und die Krone zu sehen

Kekkonen was good, but are we trying to make cult of personality around him?

Quite obviously the photographer has captured Kekkonen’s ambitions very well in this picture.

It’s the coat of arms for the city of Helsinki

He was very good writer. I laughed my ass off while reading his real diaries

Fuck Kekkonen. Only weak people yearn for authoritarian strongmen.

God of Finland?

More like the Lukashenka of Finland.

And the biggest stain in the Finnish democracy in the last 50 years.

Luckily we got Koivisto and Ahtisaari afterwards
