		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").

		Historical-comparative study of the earliest versions of this ode to St. Urho has proven that, while both obviously are variants of the same archetypal poem, the longer one is clearly more authentic and the one to embrace.
		The date the Irish chose, 17th of March, the very day after St. Urho's 16th of March, offered the Irish a two day celebration if they took in both Saints; somewhat problematic is of course the fact that St. Pat unt hiss nakes are explicitly referred to in the sanctioned official version of the Ode.
		The sacred colours of the St. Urho celebration are green and purple, signifying, of course, the grasshoppers, and the grapes.
