Greatest Finn Ever, part II

Field Marshall Carl Gustav Emil von Mannerheim, Finland's national hero, is the subject of a new exhibition in Russia, where he served in the czar's military for decades. The exhibit follows the selection of Mannerheim as the "Greatest Finn Ever" back in December, but it's also curious in that these two nations - one of which possessed the other less than a century ago, and which attacked the other twice just about sixty years ago - are so calmly sharing an icon like Mannerheim. Russia must be desperate for heroes. I'd love to see how the exhibit catalogue interprets Mannerheim for Russians.
