Yrjö Leino Dismissed as Interior Minister

May 22nd, 1948 76 years ago

Finnish President J. K. Paasikivi dismissed Yrjö Leino from his role as interior minister following a parliamentary motion of censure. This censure was linked to Leino's actions in 1945, where he illegally handed over nineteen individuals to the Soviet Union. The event marked a significant moment in Finnish post-war politics and reflected the tensions between Finland and the Soviet Union during this era.
