Max Jakobson was a Finnish diplomat and journalist with Finnish-Jewish descent. Jakobson was an instrumental figure in shaping Finland`s policy of neutrality during the Cold War. In 1971, Jakobson was a candidate for the post of United Nations Secretary-General. His candidacy failed, ostensibly because of a Soviet Union veto.

Max Jakobson was born in 1923 in Viipuri, Finland (now Vyborg, Russia), as son of Finnish-Jewish tailor Leo Jakobsson and his ethnic Finnish wife Helmi (née Virtanen). He began his career as a journalist. He worked at the BBC. From 1953 to 1974 he was employed by the Finnish Ministry for Foreign Affairs eventually acting as Finland`s ambassador to the United Nations in 1965-1971 and Finland`s Ambassador to Sweden in 1971−1974.

Zimski rat je izbio kada je Sovjetski Savez napao Finsku 30. novembra 1939, tri meseca nakon početka Drugog svetskog rata. Posledica toga je da je Sovjetski Savez izbačen iz Lige naroda 14. decembra. Sovjetski vođa Josif Staljin je očekivao da će pokoriti celu zemlju do kraja godine, ali je finski otpor uništio plan sovjetskih snaga, kojih je bilo tri puta više. Finska se držala do marta 1940, kada je u Moskvi potpisan mirovni sporazum ustupajući 10% finske teritorije i 20% njenih industrijskih kapaciteta Sovjetskom Savezu.
