Чрезвычайно редкий Состояние лучше чем очень хорошее Originally instituted in 1809 as "Diet of Porvoo" by order of the new Finnish Grand Prince and Emperor Alexander I. Pawlovich (1777–1825) as assembly of the four Estates (Nobility, Clergy, Burghers and Peasants), it received the name "Senate" in 1816 by Alexander in order to demonstrate that it was equal (and not subsidiary) to the Senate of the Russian Empire. The Senate, headed by the Governor-General of Finland was divided into an economic and a judicial division. The members had to be Finnish citizens, and in 1822 both divisions received a Finnish vice-chairman. During First World War in 1916 the Finnish Senate celebrated his 100-year jubilee. After the country having become independent, the economic division in 1918 became the Cabinet and the judicial division became the Supreme Court and the Supreme Administrative Court of the Republic of Finland. The vice chairman of the economic division became the Prime Minister of Finland, and the other senators became ministers.
