After his pardon, was Ryti's political reputation formally rehabilitated?

  • Yes

  • Partially

  • No

  • Unknown

Answer

Partially. Following his pardon in 1949, the Finnish Parliament restored Ryti's civil rights, allowing him to vote and hold public office. However, his political rehabilitation was limited, and he never regained his pre-war prominence. In 1956, he was appointed as a member of the Finnish Academy of Science and Letters, but he did not hold any significant political positions.
