Toivo Mikael Kivimäki Toivo Mikael Kivimäki ( 5 June 1886 – 6 May 1968 ) , J . D . , was head of the department of civil law at Helsinki University 1931 – 1956 , Prime Minister of Finland 1932 – 1936 , and Finland ' s ambassador to Berlin 1940 – 1944 . In 1946 , Kivimäki together with half - a - dozen other leading politicians were put on " war - responsibility trials " that generally were considered a complete miscarriage of justice , executed under pressure from the Allied victors in World War II , and in breach of Finland ' s constitutional traditions . Kivimäki was sentenced to five years in prison after being found responsible for the Continuation War ( which started with a Soviet air - attack on Finnish towns on June 25 , 1941 ) . After Finland signed the Paris Peace Treaties , 1947 , and the Finno – Soviet Agreement of Friendship , Cooperation , and Mutual Assistance , 1948 , the international situation was deemed somewhat stabilized , and Kivimäki was pardoned . He returned to his career in academia . As with all politicians connected with the Continuation War , Kivimäki was for decades seen in a somewhat critical light . During the era of finlandization , many prominent Finns expressed themselves cautiously on such subjects in order not to disturb sensitive Allied victors of the war ; a cautiousness that without doubt influenced Finland ' s post - war generation ' s understanding and views . However , a post - Soviet assessment of Kivimäki can not avoid the conclusion that he was an extraordinarily successful politician : Several individuals and factors were critical for Finland ' s survival as a sovereign state and , indeed , as a nation during the rough times of the Winter War and the Continuation War . Kivimäki without any doubt occupies a prominent position among these .
