Abstract
In 1919, the University of Uppsala resumed its summer courses which had been cancelled during the war years. The newspapers, which during the summer carried advertisements for these courses, also contained news about the final terms for peace offered by the Allied Powers to Austria, the discovery of a corpse believed to be that of Rosa Luxemburg, the downfall of Bela Kun, a battle between the British and bolshevik navies in the Gulf of Finland, as well as warnings to the Swedish public to be wary of false banknotes, forged by the bolshevik regime. At the same time the newspapers had to make significant reductions in their editions because a wave of strikes had hit them, begun by a typographers’ strike.
