The Mannerheim Line is the phrase that usually refers to Carl Gustaf Mannerheim, Marshal of Finland and its first president. Less often, people talk about the real relations of the famous Finn with Hitler's Germany, and even more rarely about the fact that in some ways Mannerheim was not so much of a... Finn. A general in the Tsarist army, who spoke Russian for half his life, a participant in the Russo-Japanese War, and lived in St. Petersburg, the identity of the famous commander is not such a simple topic; it is impossible to pin labels on him. Today, we will try to figure out who Carl Gustaf was, what motivated him, recall the entire history of how a white officer became the leader of Finland, and talk about his relations with Russia (in the case of Soviet Russia, extremely difficult). In general, today we have a very interesting life story, a biography of one of the iconic figures of his era - Carl Gustaf Mannerheim. The Redrum team wishes you a pleasant viewing. And some funny horses.
