In this book the territory of Pechenga, located well above the
Arctic circle between Russia, Finland and Norway, holds the key to
understanding the geopolitical situation of the Arctic today. With
specific focus on the local nickel industry of the region, Lars
Rowe explores the interaction between commercial and state security
concerns in the Soviet Union. Through the lens of this local
industry a larger historical context is unravelled - the nature of
Soviet-Finnish relations after the Russian Revolution, Soviet
international relations strategies during the Second World War and
the nature of the Stalinist economy in the early post-war years. By
presenting this environmentally focused history of a small corner
of the Arctic, Rowe offers the historical context needed to
understand the current geopolitical climate of the Polar North.
