	Urho Kekkonen
		Urho Kaleva Kekkonen (September 3, 1900 - August 31, 1986) was a Finnish politician who served as the Prime Minister of Finland from 1950 to 1956, and as the most long-standing president of Finland from 1956 to 1981.
		Kekkonen continued the neutrality policy of president Paasikivi, which came to be known as the Paasikivi-Kekkonen line.
		The authoritarian behaviour of Kekkonen during his presidential term is one of the main reasons for the reforms of the Finnish Constitution in 1984-2003.

	Finland's relations with the Soviet Union 1944 - 1991 — Virtual Finland
		One of the fundamental insights of Kekkonen’s policy was the 'Finnish paradox': the closer Finland’s relations with the Soviet Union, the freer it was to develop relations with the West.
		The singularity of Kekkonen’s stature is evidenced by the fact that whereas he was first elected President by a one-vote majority - thanks in large part to the support of the Agrarian Union and the communists - by the 1970s he had garnered the support of all notable parties, from the conservatives to the communists.
		Kekkonen did not refrain from using these powers, as witnessed by his sovereign control over the make-up of governments and the appointment of high officials, not to mention his repeatedly successful interventions in labour disputes.

	Finland - Domestic Developments and Foreign Politics, 1948-66
		Kekkonen demonstrated his mastery of politics by bringing Finland successfully through two major crises with the Soviet Union, the first in 1958 to 1959 (the Night Frost Crisis) and the second in 1961 (the Note Crisis).
		Kekkonen defused the crisis by pulling the ML out of the government coalition, thereby toppling the SDP government that was objectionable to the Soviets.
		Kekkonen sought to create ever-wider zones of peace around Finland; thus, he became a determined advocate of an entirely neutral Northern Europe, a position he had enunciated as early as 1952.

		This unusual extended period of one man staying in power was made possible by the continuing pressure of Russians, who wanted to make sure that the anti-Soviet powers would not gain foothold in Finland (with its strategic geopolitical location between the East and West).
		Kekkonen would play this situation to his advantage and, with hindsight, also managed to keep the Russians at bay and thus maintained Finland's sovereign position (which could be seen as quite shaky for observers both abroad and in Finland).
		A Machiavellian Prince both in the best and worst sense of the word, Kekkonen was the ultimate father figure of the postwar to pre-Glasnost Finland; ruling with an iron hand, loved by his subjects -- and feared and hated by his enemies (prone to mockingly call Finland "Kekkoslovakia").
