History and profile

Stormklockan was launched in December 1908 in Stockholm.[1] Zeth Höglund was instrumental in the establishment of the magazine which was started as a weekly social democratic publication.[1] Soon after its start the magazine was made the official media outlet of the Social Democratic Youth.[1] Höglund served as its editor-in-chief.[2] One of the contributors in this period was Allan Wallenius, a Swede from Turku.[3]

Over time the magazine left its original ideology and adopted a socialist stance.[1] During its existence it was published by different groups, including Social Democratic Youth, Young Left, Marxist–Leninist Struggle League and Red Youth.[4] In 1917 Stormklockan was seized several times due to its close alliance with the Social Democratic Party.[5] The magazine folded in 1985.[4]
