About this person

Woldemar Carl von Daehn was a Finnish military officer and statesman. He served for more than twenty years as an officer in the Imperial Russian Army, eventually attaining the rank of General of the Infantry. After his return to Finland in 1882 he was Governor of Viborg Province (1882-1885), Senator and Head of the Civil Expedition (1885-1889), and Minister-Secretary of State for Finland (1891-1898). When Alexander III died in 1894, von Daehn acted swiftly to obtain a regency assurance from the new emperor Nicholas II, securing imperial recognition of Finland's special constitutional status.
