Kulttuurivihkot (meaning Cultural notes in English) is a Finnish language 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 Association for Cultural Workers in Finland in 1973.[1] The magazine had a Marxist stance until 1991 when it became an independent left-wing magazine.[1] It is published by Domirola Inc.[2] on a bimonthly basis.[3] 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.[2] The prize was named after the Soviet Union leader Leonid Brezhnev.[2] In 2002 the recipients of the award were George W. Bush, the then US president, and Tony Blair, the then prime minister of United Kingdom.[2]
