	Mauno Koivisto - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Mauno Henrik Koivisto (born November 25, 1923) was the President of Finland from 1982 to 1994.
		Mauno Koivisto was born in Turku, Finland, the second son of Juho Koivisto, a shipwright, and Hymni Sofia Eskola, who died when he was 10.
		Koivisto won 167 of the 301 votes in the electoral college in the second round against 58 for his nearest rival, the National Coalition Party candidate Harri Holkeri.

	Finland - The Presidential Election of 1982 and Koivisto's Presidency (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
		Summoned again in 1979 to serve as prime minister, Koivisto retained the public's esteem and became a strong potential candidate for the presidential election scheduled for 1984.
		Koivisto's survival despite Kekkonen's challenge was seen by some observers as the end of an era in which the president had dominated Finnish public life.
		Overall, Koivisto's presidency has marked a coming of age for the Finnish polity, an emergence from the harsh tutelage of the Kekkonen years, and the increasing resemblance of Finnish political life to that of other successful Western democracies.

		Koivisto said that Russia has undergone a period of disunity almost as long, with certain similarities to smuta, although the two cannot be compared directly.
		Koivisto was quite amused by Russia's first steps in the early 1990s when the Soviet Union had broken up and the country wanted to shake off the "superfluous" Soviet republics.
		According to Mauno Koivisto, the leaders in Moscow had the idea that the distant areas were feeding off the central government.

		Koivisto was located near the border in a military important area.
		Koivisto was left in the Finnish side of the border as well as most of Karelia.
		Also Koivisto was given to the winner of the war and people there moved to the western Finland.

	TIME.com: Favorite Son -- Feb. 1, 1982 -- Page 1
		When the tally was completed, Mauno Koivisto, 58, the son of a carpenter and the holder of a Ph.D. in sociology, last week won 50.1% of the vote, enough to be assured of becoming his country's next President when Finland's 301-member electoral college meets this week.
		Koivisto is the first Social Democrat to be elected President in Finland, but party labels mean little in a country in which all major factions back the welfare state.
		Koivisto served two terms as Prime Minister, appointed by a man who was his opposite in temperament, the autocratic and short-tempered Kekkonen.

	Finland - The Presidential Election of 1988 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
		The contest's outcome, the re-election of Mauno Koivisto, surprised no one, yet he captured a smaller portion of the direct vote than expected--only 47.9 percent, rather than the 60 to 70 percent forecast by opinion polls during 1987.
		Vayrynen was seen as the winner of this race for position, in that he had come from far behind in the polls, had easily beaten Koivisto in the northern provinces, had found good support elsewhere--except in the Helsinki area, and had cemented his leadership role in his own party.
		His strong finish, and the lack of any SDP politician of Koivisto's personal stature and popularity, guaranteed Kesk continued significance in the country's political life even when in opposition, and were perhaps signs that the dominance of postindustrial southern Finland over the country as a whole might only be temporary.

	HS Home 22.8.2003 - Ex-President Mauno Koivisto disagrees sharply with government on EU goals
		Retired President Mauno Koivisto disagrees sharply with the views of the present government and Parliamentary speaker Paavo Lipponen (SDP) on the issue of reform in the European Union.
		Koivisto feels that Lipponen is trying to disqualify all others except himself from discussing EU issues in Finland.
		As former President Koivisto sees it, Lipponen does not want to encourage debate in which the government's moves toward deeper integration would be called into question.

	A Step At A Time: Koivisto - Dismantling the Myths
		Suomi challenges the generally accepted view of Koivisto as a bringer of change to Finland in the post-Kekkonen period, and presents the view that in many ways Koivisto merely continued the old Paasikivi-Kekkonen line, acting as an errand boy for the Soviet Union in its relations with the West.
		Suomi also takes issue with the notion that Koivisto was an enthusias for constitutional reform in Finland - in his view, the president was only interested in maintaining and strengthening the president's powers in matters of foreign policy.
		The debate about the book has already begun: tomorrow Finnish Parliament Speaker Paavo Lipponen (who was Koivisto's secretary during Koivisto's second term of office as Prime Minister in 1979-82) will present an attack on Suomi's study and a defence of the former president in the columns of Suomen Kuvalehti.

	Paavo Lipponen
		He held various posts in the Social Democratic Party organization, but he first came into the political limelight when he was appointed as secretary to the then prime minister Mauno Koivisto in 1979.
		Frequently having to substitute for the busy prime minister, he was soon dubbed: "varamanu" (ersatz manu ("Manu" being short for Mauno)).
		He has been a member of parliament from 1983 to 1987, and again since 1991.

		It is not a coincidence that Mauno Koivisto was the person chosen to reveal his personal view of Åland.
		In 2004, the Åland stamps celebrate their 20th anniversary and the president at the time, Mr Koivisto, played an important part when the decision to let Åland issue its own stamps was made.
		A photo of president Koivisto when on a boat trip on the longboat Cajsa between Storby and the island of Signilskär was used for the stamp.

		In January 1982 Mauno Koivisto, a Social Democrat, was elected to succeed Urho Kekkonen as president.
		President Koivisto easily won reelection in February 1988 to a second six-year term.

	Witness to History - PowerBookSearch!
		When Mauno Koivisto was elected president of Finland in 1982, Leonid Brezhnev was still in the Kremlin and Ronald Reagan had been the US president for a year.
		When Koivisto left office in 1994, the Soviet Union no longer existed, the 1948 treaty had been replaced, and Finland was about to become a member of the European Union, something unthinkable a few years earlier.
		As such, this book is a case history of statecraft in a small country involved in great events, but it is much more than that, for Koivisto does not miss the human element or overlook the ironies of power politics among nations.

		It has been the good fortune of the Finnish people to have had a number of heads of state whose careers have included several historical turning points and who therefore personify the growth of the nation.
		But you, Mauno, are in such enviably good condition and so mentally alert that I suspect you will be celebrating birthdays well into the new millennium.
		On behalf of the Finnish people and State as well as speaking for Eeva and myself, I have the honour to extend the warmest congratulations to you and wish you a long life.

		In his massive new book recalling the events of 1990 - 1992, Savisaar particularly singles out President Mauno Koivisto, saying that he was incapable of making any initiatives without Moscow's approval.
		Savisaar suspects that ¨contrary to Sweden, leaders in Finland did not believe that Estonia would become independent until the declaration of independence was issued in August 1991.
		Savisaar explains in great detail how Moscow said to the Finnish leaders of the time, and especially to President Koivisto, that Estonia does not want to disengage from the Soviet Union.

		And I reaffirmed the policy of the United States to support a process of change through constructive and fair negotiations.
		Prior to their remarks, the two Presidents met privately in the Oval Office and with U.S. and Finnish officials in the Cabinet Room, and then attended a luncheon in the Old Family Dining Room.

	Finland Did Not Capitulate
		One such myth, clung to tenaciously abroad, is that Finland "capitulated" to the Red Army in World War II.
		He spoke at a seminar held in early August in the North Karelian city of Joensuu to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Finnish victory in the crucial battle of Ilomantsi.
		The future Finnish president witnessed that battle as a soldier in a reconnaissance company commanded by the legendary war hero Captain Lauri Törni (who became a legend also later on in U.S. uniform as a Green Beret under the name Larry Thorne).

		President Koivisto and I have just completed a cordial and fruitful discussion about relations between Finland and the United States and about the current international situation.
		And it's a pleasure to say that we did not discuss problems in the Finnish-American relationship, because there are no bilateral problems between Finland and the United States.
		Americans have always had a warm place in their hearts for the Finnish people, and it's been a pleasure to welcome their President to our country today.
