Of course, while living in St. Petersburg, I repeatedly came across the name of Mannerheim. Since I am interested in history, I travel quite often with the Silver Ring historical and cultural center, I heard different things about Finn No. 1. But the reviews were always rather positive, despite the very controversial figure of this person. He is from a Swedish family, he studied military craft mainly in the Russian Empire. He was closely connected with Petersburg and loved it very much. Hence his order during the Soviet-Finnish war: to reach the old border and not cross it.→
