Establishment of the Senate of Finland

August 18th, 1809 215 years ago

The Senate of Finland was established after Tsar Alexander I of Russia adopted the Statute of the Government Council, granting Finland a degree of self-governance. This significant legal framework was introduced to facilitate local administration in the Grand Duchy of Finland, setting the stage for political development in the region. The enactment of this statute reflected a broader trend of reform within the Russian Empire to manage its territories effectively.
