Kyösti Kallio was politically active in Finland, groaning under the yoke of the Russian Empire, from the early twentieth century, becoming minister and prime minister several times after 1917 and president of the republic until his death in 1940.
At the Wesley mini-conference, Ferenc Kaiser gave presentations on military history and political history, respectively, of pre-1940 Finland, which stood up to the Soviet Union, which was a collaborator of Nazi Germany in 1939-1941, and inheritor of Russian imperial ambitions. Ivan Szegő in his political history presentation explained that Finnland , after a bloody civil war, laid the foundations for the later ‘Finnish miracle’.
In his opening remarks, Tibor Péter Nagy said that the conference was organised to show our condemnation at the shameful behaviour of the Hungarian government and the Hungarian parliamentary majority, which has held back Finland’s accession to NATO, one of the most important historical issues in the free world, until recent weeks.
