Pehr Evind Svinhufvud af Qvalstad

Who knew that the English-language article on P.E. Svinhufvud, prime minister President of Finland during the inter-war years, was so comprehensive? Certainly not I, who took this picture of Svinhufvud's statue in Helsinki today:

There's a certain irresistable urge to take a picture of a statue of a man whose name means "Swine-Head." Thanks to Mr. Hemming for his correction below!
