Antti Verner Hackzell (20 September 1881 – 14 January 1946) was a Finnish politician from the National Coalition Party and Prime Minister of Finland from August to September 1944.[1]
Career
[edit]Hackzell was the Governor of Viborg Province (1918–1920), the Envoy (later Chargé d'affaires) of Finland to the Soviet Union (1922–1927)[2] and served as the deputy director (1930–1936) and director (1936–1945) of Finnish Employers Association. Hackzell was also the Minister of Foreign Affairs 1932–1936 in the cabinet of Toivo Kivimäki.[3]
In summer 1944 Hackzell was chosen to form a government with the goal of signing a peace treaty with the Soviet Union. Hackzell suffered a stroke in Savoy Hotel in Moscow while on peace treaty negotiations on 14 September, and he never recovered completely. His minister of foreign affairs, Carl Enckell, concluded the negotiations.
Family origins
[edit]The Hackzell family name derives from the Hacksta family estate, located in Hacksta, Uppland in Sweden. Through Mårten Hackzell, the only child of the Uppland clergyman Andreas Hackzelius,[4][5] and through Mårten's offspring, the Hackzell family spread to Norrland and Finland.
