Talk:Zeth Höglund

Civil war in Finland
Am changing this: "On his way back to Sweden, Höglund also visited the revolutionary communist government in Finland, which would soon be overthrown by international counterrevolutionary forces." "International counterrevolutionary forces" sounds quite dated and biased. New version: "On his way back to Sweden, Höglund also visited the Reds in Finland, which at the time was in the thrushes of a civil war which soon ended in White victory."
 * Okay, sounds good. Bronks 09:24, 2 May 2006 (UTC)

mayor of stockholm?
I removed (temporary) the part that said he was "the mayor of stockholm 1940 - 1950". He was not mayor, he was finansborgarråd, or is it the same thing??? Bronks. 13 october 2005

Street name in Leningrad
Höglund got a street named after him in Petrograd (later Leningrad) in the early 1920s. They didn’t change the name of the street until the mid 1930s, during Stalin’s purges. Therefore I think it’s better to write after the rise of Stalinism the street name was changed instead of after Höglund's departure from the communist movement the street name was changed.

They changed the name of the street because Höglund was criticizing Stalin, not because he had “left the communist movement.” He still considered himself a communist all his life. Bronks. 29 December 2005

A few comments, explains an edit of Propaganda

 * On his parents' church: were they Christians? Lutheran?
 * State Knowledge: is that law or government?
 * I have edited propadanda to agitation to reflect what was then current usage. See Plekanov's formula -- Propaganda = many ideas to a few people; Agitation = one idea to many people. --Duncan 11:45, 26 January 2006 (UTC)
 * 'Statskunskap' (literal translation 'State Knowledge') is Swedish for Political Science. A Swedish Christian at the time, if not mentioned otherwise, is most likely affiliated to the Church of Sweden. --Soman 12:44, 26 January 2006 (UTC)


 * Höglund's parent's were Christians, and I assume Lutherans (as the vast majority of the Swedish people were back then.) Bronks
