# bio (long form, separated for readability)
bio: |
  Paasikivi served as Finland's president from 1946 to 1956, after stints as prime minister in 1918 and 1944–1946, envoy to Stockholm and Moscow, and member of parliament. Representing first the Finnish Party and later the National Coalition Party, he spent over fifty years shaping Finnish economics and politics. After the Second World War, he became the chief architect of Finland's postwar foreign policy, threading the needle between Soviet proximity and Finnish independence. Tenacious and temperamental by reputation, he approached diplomacy as a negotiation with immovable facts rather than wishes. The Paasikivi Society, founded two years after his death in 1956, carried his legacy forward during the Cold War by promoting the neutrality doctrine he'd built.
