The article analyzes several types of memory on 1917 and the Soviet revolution, focusing on some memory’s strategies of the Communist Party of Spain and the Italian Communist Party. It briefly attends four different historical junctures (1937, 1949, 1956 and 1988) which allow to observe the phenomena of modulation, inflection and upgrade of the memory about the “long 1917”. And in turn, several aspects – like symbolic capital, cosmopolitan memory or nationalization – serve as axes where to inscribe the policies of communist memory in this long temporal development.
