Abstract

To Joensuu, Kotka, Lappeenranta, Turku, or back to Vyborg? The Vyborg University of Economics Society in post-war Finland

The focus of this text is the activities of the Vyborg University of Economics Society in post-war Finland. Central to its post-war operations was finding a new home in Eastern Finland. Lappeenranta was finally chosen as the new home of the ‘Mercury rod’, which symbolises trade, as a continuation of the Vyborg tradition. The promise of financial support from the Society also influ- enced the shaping of the Lappeenranta University of Technology.
