  Risto Ryti - Biocrawler   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
Risto Heikki Ryti (February 3, 1889 - October 25, 1956) was the president of Finland from 1940 to 1944.
Ryti was selected as successor to the retired Kallio just some weeks before the latter suffered a lethal stroke during a farewell gathering on December 19, 1940.
Ryti apparently turned, step by step, to being in favour of seizing the opportunity to secure Finnish claims to areas he saw to be in the country's interests, in case the great realignment of ownership of East European territory by force would materialize.

 Finland's Presidentical Election
Ryti played a crucial role as Prime Minister during the early months of the interim peace before the death of the President, as he provided strong leadership at a time when Kallio’s illness prevented him from properly exercising his authority.
Ryti was known as a skilful and technocratic banker and was especially renowned for his capacity to analyse situations coolly and rationally.
Ryti’s conduct as President of the Republic during the war years did not receive the blessing of Finland’s political establishment until the 1990s, after the collapse of the Soviet Union, but amongst the general public his sentence has always been considered a travesty of justice.

Veikko Myller's winning entry in the competition for the Risto Ryti memorial caused considerable debate and demands were made for a new competition.
The work's surface, covered in patina, lends a weary and melancholy undercurrent which corresponds to Risto Ryti's (1889-1956) tragic fate as the winds of foreign policy changed after 1945.
Thanks to Veikko Myller's work, the suffering of the former president, who became a persona non grata (he was sentenced to prison in the war crimes trials and consequentely suffered from ill health), can never be forgotten.

Ryti was also a patriot, who helped Finland remain a democracy.
The allies convicted him for being responsible for the war but that was unjustified according to anybody with any moral sense, I think.
Ryti as many other Finnish politicians during the war wished that the two dictators, Hitler and Stalin, would finish each other off, and then the new order in Europe would be established by the USA and GB.

Risto Ryti is something of favorite of mine, and the Marshal, too.
Actually I have a lot of respect for a lot of Finnish politicians, given what they had to face, and without Risto Ryti, Finland could have turned into another fascist country, both in terms of general ideology (taking in refugees from Nazi Germany and Soviet Russia included) and in terms of losing their elections.
Because if you're going to work for a grand dictator, you might as well get him to fund something nifty.
