Nikolai Mexmontan

Nikolai Fridolfovich Mexmontan (Russian: Николай Фридольфович Мексмонтан; 16 June 1860 Strelna, Russian Empire – 15 November 1932 Helsinki)[1] was a Finnish major general who served as the head of the Supreme Inspection Department during the Finnish Civil War.

Mexmontan was an activist and he drew up a plan for the future uprising aimed at the Independence of Finland in Stockholm in 1917.

He was in contact with Germany, whose involvement Mexmontan considered necessary, because there were Russian troops in Finland.

He served as the chief of the inspection department until the war ended, retiring on 30 May 1918.

[3] Nikolai Mexmontan was married to Johanna Eleonora, daughter of General Georg Edvard Ramsay.
