Stormklockan (Swedish : The storm clock) was a political youth magazine published in Stockholm, Sweden, between 1908 and 1985.
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]
