The year 2017 saw a multitude of conferences and exhibitions devoted to the centenary of the Russian Revolutions, both in Russia and in other parts of the world. The commemoration of this event would be incomplete without an exploration of its Northern dimension; in October 2017, the University of Tromsø, The Arctic University of Norway hosted the conference The Russian Revolutions of 1917: The Northern Impact and Beyond.

Norway and Russia are both northern states, and the two countries have a common border in the High North. Some articles in this volume, based on the conference proceedings, investigate the impact of the Russian Revolution in Norway and Sweden, while others deal with the High North, e.g. the Revolution and Civil War in Northern Russia and the radicalization of the workers' movement of Northern Norway; some are also devoted to representations of the Russian Revolution at exhibitions and on the big screen.

Industry Reviews

"Taken together, this study of the 'northern dimension' of the Russian Revolution provides some interesting insights. On a practical level, scholars who do not command Scandinavian languages will find it useful to read overviews of national historiographic discussions on the topic, and can gain an understanding of how the Russian Revolution affected that region. On a larger interpretative scale, this volume confirms the recent historiographical trend that shifts attention from the grand ideas and major political events of the Russian Revolution to its different regional contexts and particular local circumstances."

-L. G. Novikova, National Research University Higher School of Economics, Slavonic and East European Review

"This collaborative effort to explore the events of 1917 and their impact on Norway and Sweden in particular, constitutes a valuable source for those interested in studying the reception of the Russian Revolution of 1917 by other countries as well as its various impacts in those countries."

-Ayse Dietrich, International Journal of Russian Studies
