About this person

Count Georg Magnus Sprengtporten was a Finland-Swedish politician, military officer and statesman, younger brother of Jacob Magnus Sprengtporten. He defected to Russia in 1786 and became the first Governor-General of Finland in 1808. His legacy remains controversial: in Sweden he is remembered as a traitor, while in Finland and Russia he is regarded as a military innovator and political visionary whose ideas were central to the formation of the Grand Duchy of Finland.
