Johan Richard Danielson-Kalmari

Johan Richard Danielson-Kalmari (until 1906 Danielson; 7 May 1853 – 23 May 1933) was a Finnish historian and politician. He was professor of general history at the Imperial Alexander University in Helsinki from 1880 and the university's Deputy Chancellor from 1903 to 1906; he later served as Chancellor of the University of Turku from 1921 to 1926.

As a member of the Diet of Finland and later of the Parliament of Finland from 1882 to 1916, Danielson-Kalmari was one of the leading figures of the Finnish Party (the "Old Finns") and, after the death of Yrjö-Koskinen in 1903, its leader. He was a central proponent of the so-called "compliance line" during the Russification periods, which sought a pragmatic accommodation with the Russian imperial government in order to preserve Finland's autonomy. He served as Senator without portfolio in the Hjelt Senate in 1908–1909.

Background and education Danielson was the son of chaplain Johan Filip Danielson and Amanda Lovisa Palander. A monument to Danielson-Kalmari stands in Lahti. He is buried at Hietaniemi Cemetery in Helsinki.
