In the 1920s and 1930s, during which the student union of the university was in total control of the nationalistic Academic Karelia Society, Ylioppilaslehti often took a stance against the Swedish language and communism. In the post-war period the paper oriented towards supporting western democracy whilst becoming increasingly left-wing during the Cold War era.
