Granit graduated in 1927 from the Faculty of Medicine of the University Of Helsinki , Finland. When Finland became the target of a massive Soviet attack in 1940 during the Winter War ( 1939 - 1940 ), Granit sought refuge - and peaceful surroundings for his studies and research work - in the neighbouring capital of Sweden, Stockholm, at the age of 40. In the same year, 1940, Granit also received Swedish citizenship, which made it possible for him to go on with his work and life without having to worry about the war, which lasted until 1945 in Finland. Granit kept his Finnish citizenship as well, and he remained a patriotic Finn throughout his life. After the ''Finnish-Russian Wars'', Granit kept homes both in Finland and Sweden. Granit said that his Nobel prize "belongs fifty-fifty to Finland and Sweden". EXTERNAL LINKS
