Finnish neo-classical sculptor Walter Runeberg (1838-1920) with his wife Lina in Rome, 1868, who he married in 1867 they where married until 1916 when Lina died. Lina was born in 1841, They had 6 children. He created the statue of the Russian Emperor Alexander II that stands on Senete Square in Helsinki, Finland. It was erected in 1894. A statue of Emperor Alexander II is located in the center of the square. The statue, erected in 1894, was built to commemorate his re-establishment of the Diet of Finland in 1863 as well as his initiation of several reforms that increased Finland's autonomy from Russia. The statue comprises Alexander on a pedestal surrounded by figures representing law, culture, and peasants. The sculptor was Walter Runeberg.[8] During the Russification of Finland from 1899 onwards, the statue became a symbol of quiet resistance, with people protesting against the decrees of Nicholas II by leaving flowers at the foot of the statue of his grandfather, then known in Finland as "the good tsar".[9] After Finland's independence in 1917, demands were made to remove the statue. Later, it was suggested to replace it with the equestrian statue of Mannerheim currently located on Mannerheimintie in front of the Kiasma museum. Nothing came of either of these suggestions, and today the statue is one of the major tourist landmarks of the city and a reminder of Finland's close relationship with Imperial Russia.[9] en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Senate_Square,_Helsinki#Statue_of_Alexander_II
