<p>âTaken together, this study of the ânorthern dimensionâ 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.â</p><p>âL. G. Novikova, National Research University Higher School of Economics, <i>Slavonic and East European Review</i></p>
<p>âThis 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.â</p><p>âAyse Dietrich, <i>International Journal of Russian Studies</i></p>
