Kulttuurivihkot (Finnish: Cultural notes) is a bimonthly left-wing political and arts magazine published in Helsinki, Finland. It has been in circulation since 1973.
History and profile
Kulttuurivihkot was founded by a group linked to the Association for Cultural Workers in Finland in 1973.[1] One of the founders was Juha Virkkunen, a Finnish journalist.[2] He was also the founding editor-in-chief of the magazine.[2] Kulttuurivihkot had a Marxist stance until 1991 when it became an independent left-wing magazine.[1] It is published by Domirola Inc.[3] on a bimonthly basis.[4] The magazine covers articles on arts, cultural politics and ideologies from a left-wing perspective.[1]
Kulttuurivihkot and the independent left, a political student organization at the University of Helsinki, have offered the Leonid Brezhnev peace prize since 2002.[3] The prize was named after the Soviet Union leader Leonid Brezhnev.[3] In 2002 the recipients of the award were George W. Bush, the US president, and Tony Blair, the prime minister of United Kingdom.[3]
