"Political and personal ties between Sweden and Russia go back to the early Middle Ages. Since ancient times and until Finland gained independence in 1917, Sweden was Russia's closest northwestern neighbor. In certain periods and moments of Russian history (the beginning of Kievan Rus, the Time of Troubles, the Northern War , Napoleon's invasion of Russia) the Swedes played no less, and even more important role than any other people of Western Europe, which, among other things, we tried to show in this book. The book was based on a series of conversations on "Radio Sweden" (Russian edition of the Swedish foreign broadcast) in 2006-2007, it is called "History of Sweden in Persons". When selecting characters for conversations, we limited ourselves to some conditions. Firstly, these must be figures of the new and recent times, not earlier than the 16th century, for there is little specific information about those who lived before, and their biographies, with rare exceptions, are poorly known.Secondly, our heroes are people who left behind either an undivided good Ava, or who have done more good for their people or even for the whole of Europe than bad. In other words, we preferred progressive people, as they are usually called. And besides, we did not get carried away either by the Swedish kings, or by the figures of politics, science, and culture most familiar to Russians, about whom there is Russian literature. The exception is one of our characters - the attentive reader will understand for himself who: the most and warmest of all is written about him in Russian both before and after the revolution, but he did more for your national economy than his fellow countrymen, minus, of course, the Nobel oil owners , but, unlike them, completely disinterested. We hope that the book about several outstanding Swedes, which was born on the basis of these conversations, will allow or help readers to more vividly, more clearly imagine the development, originality of Sweden and the character of its people in modern times. Let our famous compatriots serve you, friends, as a kind of magnifying glass, allowing you to better see our country. Alexander Kan and Sergey Karlov
