Valvoja (Finnish: Observer) was a Finnish language literary and cultural magazine that existed between 1880 and 1922.
Valvoja was launched in 1880 by a group of individuals who would become prominent academics and politicians, [1] [2] including Arvid Järnefelt and Ernst Gustaf Palmen. [3] [4] The magazine was significantly influenced by a Danish magazine, Tilskueren . [3] The founding group adhered to classical liberalism and supported the ideas of John Stuart Mill and Charles Darwin. [4] However, the magazine editors did not endorse naturalism. [5]
Helmi Krohn and Thiodolf Rein served as the editors-in-chief of the magazine. [3] [6] Juhani Aho, who was one of the early professional Finnish language authors, contributed to the magazine. [2] Another contributor was a member of Young Finns, Yrjö Koskelainen. [7] Valvoja was instrumental in reintroducing the views of Anders Chydenius who was among the pioneers of liberalism in Sweden and Finland. [4]
The magazine ceased publication in 1922. [8]

Liberalism is a political and moral philosophy based on the rights of the individual, liberty, consent of the governed, political equality, right to private property and equality before the law. Liberals espouse various and often mutually warring views depending on their understanding of these principles but generally support private property, market economies, individual rights, liberal democracy, secularism, rule of law, economic and political freedom, freedom of speech, freedom of the press, freedom of assembly, and freedom of religion. Liberalism is frequently cited as the dominant ideology of modern history.
Centre-left politics is the range of left-wing political ideologies that lean closer to the political centre and broadly conform with progressivism. Ideologies of the centre-left include social democracy, social liberalism, and green politics. Ideas commonly supported by the centre-left include welfare capitalism, social justice, liberal internationalism, and multiculturalism. Economically, the centre-left supports a mixed economy in a democratic capitalist system, often including economic interventionism, progressive taxation, and the right to unionize. Centre-left politics are contrasted with far-left politics that reject capitalism or advocate revolution.
Nationalism was a central force in the history of Finland starting in the 19th century. The Finnish national awakening in the mid-19th century was the result of members of the Swedish-speaking upper classes deliberately choosing to promote Finnish culture and language as a means of nation building—i.e. to establish a feeling of unity between all people in Finland including between the ruling elite and the ruled peasantry. The publication in 1835 of the Finnish national epic, the Kalevala, a collection of traditional myths and legends which is the folklore common to the Finns and to the Karelian people, stirred the nationalism that later led to Finland's independence from Russia.
