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 \u003cem\u003eThe Russian Revolutions of 1917: The Northern Impact and Beyond\u003c\/em\u003e.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNorway 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e“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.”\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e—L.
