Collapse
The collapse of the Soviet Union led to ideological conflicts within the party, and bitter internal disputes plagued the party. The bad investments made during Aalto's reign resulted in financial bankruptcy in 1992. The SKP never recovered. A majority of the party members, with other member organizations of SKDL, formed the Left Alliance in 1990.
SKPy, originally the faction of the party expelled in 1985–1986, outlasted its parent and registered itself as the Communist Party of Finland in 1997 but has been unable to regain the former Communist Party's parliamentary representation. Its vote share in the elections of 2007 was 0.7%.
