- In 1956 the Social Democrat Fagerholm got one elector's vote less than needed to be elected, and Urho Kekkonen was elected. (Fagerholm served however three times as Prime Minister, and after that as Speaker of the Parliament.)

Now accomplished. /Tuomas 03:20, 2 May 2004 (UTC)
I don't know, however, how much there ought to be written on the failed attempt to make Fagerholm a General Secretary of the UN. /Tuomas 04:17, 2 May 2004 (UTC)
As it now stands, it seems as if he retired after 1958, which maybe isn't quite the truth?

Contrary to what the article says, Fagerholm was never the chairman of the Social Democratic Party.
The article implies that Soviet "sanctions" against Fagerholm's 3rd Cabinet (1958-59) were caused by USSR's disapproval of Fagerholm, which is not correct. Instead, USSR disapproved of the goverment's Minister of Social Affairs, Väinö Leskinen.
