It's the statue of the Finnish-Swedish Johan Ludvig Runeberg, one of the national poets of Finland. The statue was designed and sculpted by Runeberg's son, Walter Runeberg, revealed in 1885.
No, it was capital of Finland (Grand Duchy of Finland) which was in personal union with Russian Monarchs. So, no definitely not city of Russian Empire.
A Helsinki that was the capital of Finland (Grand Duchy) is "russia"? Are you kidding? Nobody even spoke Russian there and Russians had to got through customs to get to Finland, if they wanted to travel there.
