In the northern periphery of Russia abroad. The Norwegian destiny of Anatol Ye. Heintz (1898–1975), palaeontologist and native of St Petersburg
This article provides an expos of the life and work of Anatoliy Yevgenyevich Geynts, in Norway known as Anatol Heintz. Heintz was born and raised in St Petersburg, became a Russian refugee after the revolutionary events in Russia in 1917-1918, and ended up in Norway with his family. Later Heintz became renowned in the world of science as a Professor, Academician, and one of the founding fathers of Norwegian palaeontology, as well as a wellknown p…
From Northeast Passage to Northern Sea Route
The notion of a waterway north of Eurasia, conceived in the first half of the sixteenth century, remained only a dream for centuries, due to ice, unmapped coastlines and a lack of geographical knowledge. This volume is the first comprehensive, scholarly account in English of the slow but steady exploration and commercial exploitation of the Siberian coastal waters, and it proves that this was a truly international endeavour. However, in the end, …
At the Sources of Norway’s Foreign Policy Orientation
This article deals with the background for the November treaty of 1855 between Great Britain and France on the one hand, and the United kingdoms of Sweden and Norway on the other. The November treaty explicitly pointed to Russia as a potential aggressor against Norway and Sweden and offered these states protection by the two Western Powers. The author elucidates the prerequisites for the conclusion of the treaty, and its role as a first step in N…

The centenary of the Russian Revolution is to be commemorated in 2017. This article concerns the Putin administration’s approach to history regarding the event. Generally speaking, Putin’s approach to history aims to use historical knowledge as a vehicle for the promotion of national unity, following the long period of disruption and decline after the dissolution of the Soviet Union in 1991. It is no secret that Putin and his closest staff are no…
The Crimean War in Imperial Context, 1854–1856
The Crimean War has generated a huge body of literature, which makes it difficult to surmise that it is possible to write something substantially new; something that could add to Orlando Figes’ The
Russland og den svensk-norske «dualisme» (1814-1905)
Russia and Swedish-Norwegian «dualism» (1814-1905) Swedish military aid in defeating Napoleon and Russian support for Swedish plans to obtain Norway from Denmark comprised the essence of the «Russian-Swedish Treaty of St. Petersburg» in 1812. The treaty was confirmed by a meeting between Crown Prince Karl Johan and Tsar Alexander I in Abo during that same autumn, at a time when Napoleon was making swift advances into Russia with his Grande Armee.…

John Tradescant's Diary of his Voyage to Russia June–September 1618. A Source of Information about Russian Sea Mammal Hunting on the Svalbard Archipelago
The English botanist and gardener John Tradescant the Elder's diary from a voyage to northern Russia in 1618 has lately attracted attention as a potential source on early Russian sea mammal hunting on the Svalbard archipelago. This article examines the usefulness of Tradescant's diary in this respect, but comes to a negative conclusion
Stephen Burrough at ‘Cola River’
Stephen Burrough's voyage on board Serchethrift to northern Russia and Novaya Zemlya in 1556 is a standard reference point in general surveys of polar exploration. Unfortunately, for centuries its route in Russian waters has been garbled, due to a too literal reading of the term ‘Cola River,’ used by Burrough as the name of the first harbour he sought in Russia. Where was Burrough's Cola River? Determining its location is not at all as simple as …
The Russia of the Tsar and North Norway. "The Russian Danger" Revisited
The fear of Russia in Norway goes back far beyond the Russian Revolution. It played an important role in Norwegian Swedish foreign policies towards Russia from the 1830s and up to 1905 (and in Norwegian conceptions of threat between 1905 and 1917 as well, although the threat seems to have been more down-played in that period) (Nielsen 1994 95). In particular, there has been a fear of a possible attack on North-Norway. Roald Berg, in his recently …

The troublesome Rjurik and his house. The norman question in Soviet historiography under Stalin
What was the role played by Nordic‐Scandinavian ethnic elements in the political and cultural creation of the ancient Russian state, and its early development? This is the core of “the Norman question” in Soviet historiography, which i.a. relates to the sources mentioning of both the “Rus'” and the “Varangians” as being instrumental in the making of the ancient Kiev state. ‐This article analyses the concept of ‘normannism’ in the light of the var…
