The presence of an MP, Franciszek Charwat, in the diplomatic outpost in Helsinki lasted from 9 August 1928 to the end of 1935. F. Charwat had considerable diplomatic experience, for he had previously represented the Polish state in Germany, Ukraine and Estonia. He arrived in Finland at a time when the sluggish Polish-Finnish relations focused on their common attitude towards some European problems; at that time the situation in Finland was far from stable, as a result of the tensions between communists and nationalists. The analysis of his reports and letters sent to the head office in Warsaw leads to the assumption that the MP identified himself with political convictions of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Poland and executed diligently all its orders in Finland. Moreover, while representing Poland Charwat supported a multifaceted presence of Polish elements (particularly cultural ones) in Finland. Thanks to his abundant correspondence, Franciszek Charwat left rich source material referring to the history of Finland and Polish-Finnish relations during the interwar period. Although his activity received much criticism in the literature of the subject matter, his competence and attention to the interests of the Rzeczpospolita should be positively regarded.
