Abstract
In the 1950s, while the Cold War between the Eastern and Western blocks was at its beginning, most of the European countries began to rebuild themselves in order to recover from World War II and Finland was no exception. After this period of reconstruction, most of these countries underwent a social revolution, mostly in the 1960s. But Finland first witnessed a cultural revolution, which resulted a series of changes in the Finnish society. A number of factors have permitted this cultural revolution to take place in Finland. For instance, the fact that Finland became independent in the beginning of the century was not a coincidence. One would wonder what the elements of this important cultural change were. In what field have the main changes been? And as a continuation, we can imagine the social consequences which followed these changes in the Finnish culture.
