YOUR COUNTRY'S GREATEST LEADER

Either this, George Washington (the man who whipped up enough support in an otherwise apathetic populace to create the first modern Republic in the World) or Abraham Lincoln (the man who kept the Union together).

>not Andrew "fuck the banks and fuck the natives too" Jackson

>not RISTO FUCKING RYTI

So basically a person who lead to the invention of the term "finlandization" by making his country ask for Soviet's approval when appointing politicians?

Who else.

>greatest leader
>a soviet puppet

top lel

it's all.

>makes deals with Hitler and vows to be on the german side in the war as long as he stays in office
>Finland gets all sorts of military equipment from germans
>things go south
>he resigns in order to sever the connection with germans legally

TOP KEKKONEN

Gorbachev, Yeltsin would've been good but he didn't do enough to get rid of the old Soviet System so now you have Пapтия Жyликoв и Bopoв running your country.

Excellent choice. One small thing, he didnt actually serve for 16 years because he died early on into his fourth term

This. Kekkonen was a massive joke and laughing stock in both Soviet Union and western world. He was senile old fuck who couldnt even think properly or even walk straight without collapsing.

born and raised in the beautiful city of lappeenranta my friend

Tapu would've been a much better peace time president. Unfortunately, we needed a voievode president like Basescu wishes he was to get us through the 90's and the yugo wars without becoming america's bitch.

Romania's history has been nothing but making the wrong decision every time it mattered. But then again, the other choice was Illiescu, so nothing we could've done would've been good save for killing every commie and reinstalling the king.

Lembitu of Lehola.

United the tribes, fought crusader knights and didn't afraid of anything but later got killed off before making a kingdom and annexing Sweden and Russia.

The best of our history, Juan Domingo Perón.

>Kekkonen

I thought it was von pighead who was your greatest leader

Millions of Japanese-Americans would beg to differ. He was no better than Hitler and Stalin.

Teddy Roosevelt was our greatest, with JFK, Thomas Jefferson, and George Washington being after him. Trump will be the next great leader.

>He was no better than Hitler and Stalin

Killing over 30 million people combined = Putting some people in military barracks for a few years during a war

Are you this fucking stupid?

you can fuck right off with that nazi loving populist
>Hurr getting put in an interment camp for a few years is as bad as mass genocide. whether they liked it or not he made the country better for them as well as everyone else

He was a good guy but not the best one, the right answer to this one is Mannerheim, Kekkonen was pretty based as well and his influence still continues.

>Argentina became white

Alexander II
Peter the Great

Stop being an edgelord and shitting on natives Pekka, you are one too.

The most important thing foreigners have to know is that he btfo'd Russians hard in 1920.

One of the main commanders on russian side was Stalin kek.

Washington

This. At least tatar manlet tried to do something.

It's Stalin help you won. He's become fuhrer after that lose.

...

That's literally the only thing the Nazis did = put some people in military camps for the duration of the war. Then most of the POWs died from malnutrition after the Allies (you) bombed all German railroads.

...

...

is that obama?

Honest and Portugal had money and some power. He should be better in economy tho

Alexander wasn't that good. He should have freed the serfs with their land and abolish the peasant commune so the Empire could evolve into a capitalist state.

I LOVE that guy! Everybody loves that guy!

Top Kekkonen.

>Cuban missile crisis
>What is saving the northern hemisphere

America and Russia would have blown each other the fuck up. We would of been blasted so fucking hard that both countries would of gone back to the 1800's. Kennedy saved millions of American lives going against what his entire cabinet was suggesting and that was to launch the nukes.

He made a lot of fuck ups amigo but let me tell you something, everything he did fuck up seems small in comparison to the cuban missile crisis which was something he could not afford to screw up because it was the big thing.

Jorge Rafael Videla.

Based as fuck

"From December 1980 onwards, Kekkonen suffered from an undisclosed disease that appeared to affect his brain functions, sometimes leading to delusional thoughts. He had begun to suffer occasional brief memory lapses as early as the autumn of 1972; they became more frequent during the late 1970s. Around the same time, Kekkonen's eyesight deteriorated so much that for his last few years in office, all of his official papers had to be typed in block letters. Kekkonen had also suffered from a failing sense of balance since the mid-1970s and from an enlarged prostate since 1974. He was also subject to occasional violent headaches and suffered from diabetes from the autumn of 1979.[18]

According to biographer Juhani Suomi, Kekkonen gave no thought to resigning until his physical condition began to deteriorate in the summer of 1981. The 80-year-old president then began to seriously consider resigning, most likely in early 1982."

This is true. Curtis LeMay and various other army guys wanted to just nuke Soviet cities. They figured even if the Soviets retaliated against American cities, it wouldn't be that bad and collateral damage in wartime is inevitable.

>East Coast metropolises getting struck with nuclear weapons
>not that bad

A useless cunt with polio. Lincoln was better, he created an unified United States

This. And after the war gets imprisoned because of butthurt soviets but said he'd still do it all for the nation

Easy as it might be to label Kekkonen a Soviet puppet, it's not like the poor guy had much choice. I mean, if you led a small, poor country of 5 million people next to a giant neighbor with a huge-ass army and nuclear weapons...uh, yeah.

Eastern cunt
regards Finland Proper

That's true, the guy was a political genius in his prime but his latter years and his dementia have left a sour taste for many

Or the general authoritarianism he put into Finland's political culture. Newspapers in Europe and the US were reporting on his ill health while nobody in Finland itself knew about it b/c press censorship.

If you're asking about modern times leaders the meme answer would be this moustached fellow

Why do people think George Washington was so great?
Just because he was the first President doesn't make him so good.

Probably Adenauer or Bismarck

>thats literally the only thing the nazis did
yeaaaah sure, Auschwitz didnt exist and Joseph Mengele was a good family doctor. I should be surprised that its a Finn whos a Nazi apologist

t. Hapoднaя вoля

Bolivar I guess

Founding myth elevates him to semi-divine status

Plus at least he was actually a good president.

>tfw washington gets be portrayed as a great general
>lost almost every battle he fought

but he won the war. Thats a good general. Hannibal won almost every battle he was in and yet Carthage was utterly rekt

No debate

Nah, he was horrible. Literally everybody involved in the creation of Gran Colombia was a power mad asshole.

Didn't he make you lose Algeria as a colony? And did he not allow all the Algerians to come into France in the first place?

...

Only because he opposed our shitty leaf flag and tried to keep the bongs out of the EU

Any other answer is just heresy

CHOSEN OF KEK!!!
HE BEARS THE MARK!!!

...

Are you joking dude

Could banter with the best of them

>not staying faithful to the AKS and the Suur-Suomi dream, despite seeing your country being enthusiastically led into the abyss of communism by the traitors of SKDL

t. Estonian immigrant

Mannerheim was your greatest leader, Kekkonen was good but not the best.

Our greatest leader was Gustav II Adolf, he abolished Catholicism and didn't afraid of anything.

That does look like he was an awesome dictator

that's the main thing, he orchestrated two crises where the soviets would be upset with the finnish government, and then he would heroically travel to russia and make things all right again

after dismantling a democratically elected government

in war-time, probably yes but in peacetime politics the man was kinda clueless, he desperately wanted us to become a monarchy even in 1919 when the social democrats were the main party in the coalition government

how would he have done that? invade st.petersburg when the bolsheviks were busy in the civil war with the whites in southern russia

im glad somebody stopped him

>Mannerheim
>Best
kys cuck

Yeah, fuck Kekkonen. Worst politician and greatest traitor to the Finnish nation since Otto Wille Kuusinen. Georg C. Ehrnrooth on the other hand...

>One of the most opposition politicians of the Kekkonen era, deeply critical of his foreign policy and ways of action, communism and the actions of the Soviet Union
>He was known as a neutral politicians who got support from both left and right and supported both leftist and rightist values
>Deep believer in Finnish independence, constitutionalism and parliamentarism
>His interest in politics started when he was studying law in the University of Helsinki. He saw the "war responsibility trials" were a farce orchestrated by the Soviet Union
>He became famous when he was elected into Helsinki City Council and criticized that the city had money to build a monkey house in Korkeasaari Zoo yet no money to take care of the elderly
>Got into Parliament in 1958 as a member of the Swedish People's Party
>Got into trouble with party leadership when he supported right-wing (SPP was a center-right party) candidate during presidential elections instead of left-wing Kekkonen.
>While SPP leadership whined how important it was to keep the support of Kekkonen so they could get into government, Ehrnrooth said fuck that as he saw constitutionalism more important than language politics
>He was kicked out of the party when he voted against the "Emergency Law" to make Kekkonen the president without election, as he saw it unconstitutional
>Founded his own party, the Constitutional People's Party (later the Constitutional Right Party) as a response
>Led the party until the Soviet Union collapsed, then retired happy
>Died a few years ago
