Max Engman

Max Robert Engman (27 September 1945 – 19 March 2020) was a Finnish historian and translator.

Engman was born in Helsinki. Engman, who from 1968–1973 was an official at the Finnish national archives in Helsinki, published in 1983 a much-noticed dissertation about St. Petersburg and Finland. In 1985, he was appointed professor in general history at Åbo Akademi.

Engman's research foremost studied the Finnish–Russian relations and the European empires. He also studied constitutional issues and the administration. His contributions as a subeditor for Historisk Tidskrift för Finland from 1971–1982 and the journal's editor in chief from 1982–2000 are considered as great.

He died in Helsinki in 2020.
