After the Finnish Civil War in 1918, he was the only member of the political left who did not stay away from the Senate. Under Oskari Tokoi , Paasivuori was deputy chairman of the Ministry of Commerce and Industry in 1917. In 1927 he was also Minister for Social Affairs in the government of the Social Democrat Väinö Tanners . Paasivuori held his seat in the Finnish Reichstag until August 1936.
