Popis: The Finnish Communist Party, until recently one of the strongest communist parties in western Europe, has always taken ideological work in the party very seriously, with a view to instilling the party's values in a membership which would then be equipped to be active in the place of work and in society as a whole. The result was the creation of a ‘party culture’ in which communist families lived. Central to this emphasis was the system of party schools and correspondence courses, culminating after the Second World War in the foundation of a permanent residential school ‐ Sirola College. The curriculum of the College has had to adapt to the decline in the fortunes of the SKP since the 1970s.
