Tuulispää was a Finnish language satirical magazine which existed between 1903 and 1957. It was the media outlet of conservative nationalism in Finland. However, the magazine described itself as a representative of genuine satire and humor without any party affiliation.[1]

History and profile

Tuulispää was started in 1903 as a successor of Matti Meikäläinen, another satirical magazine which was closed by Governor General Bobrikov in 1899.[2] Although the magazine claimed that it had a political stance, it also declared that it had no political party affiliation.[1] In fact, the magazine adopted a conservative nationalist political stance and criticised the Finnish labour movement and the Swedish-speaking elite in the country.[2] It also attempted to balance between the National Coalition Party and the National Progressive Party.[1] Some of the contributors included Topi Vikstedt, Oscar Furuhjelm and Eric Vasström.[2]

Tuulispää used the Old Helsinki Slang during the initial period of its publication.[3] In the 1920s and 1930s the magazine had a steady circulation in that it sold 3,000-4,000 copies during this period.[1] The magazine folded in 1957.[2]
