Sauli Niinistö belongs to the record of public life as a figure whose work outlasted the moment that produced it.
The record lists Sauli Niinistö as Finnish politician and the 12th President of Finland (2012-2024).
Sauli Niinistö was born at Salo in 1948. His recorded nationality is Finland. He was educated at University of Turku.
The twentieth century made work collective, expensive and political, with consequences that reached well beyond the people doing it.
The record gives his occupations as politician, lawyer and judge.
Power is judged twice: once by contemporaries who felt it, and again by historians who did not.
His work was formally recognised with the Royal Order of the Seraphim, Grand Cross with Collar of the Order of the Falcon and Grand Cross with Collar of the Order of the White Rose of Finland.
That the work was done from Finland matters. Opportunity has never been evenly distributed, and where a person is based shapes which doors open and whose work gets seen.
Sauli Niinistö is still at work, and the final assessment has not been made - the ordinary condition of a living career.
