About this person

Bruno Jalander was a Finnish military officer, civil servant and politician. He served as Governor of Nyland County from 1917 to 1932 and as Minister of War in four governments during the 1920s. Although he began his career as an activist in Finland's independence movement, he subsequently became an open opponent of right-wing activism and took a firm stand against the Lapua movement, which ultimately cost him his governorship. His second wife was the internationally renowned opera singer Aino Ackté.
