The book traces a thousand-year history of relations between Russia and its North neighbor Sweden. It touches upon a wide range of significant historical moments. Why did brotherly (in both literal and figurative sense of this word) relations between Russian princes and Varangian sea kings turn into an uncompromising animosity by the XIIIth century? What actually happened near the Neva River in 1240? Did the Sweden King Magnus become an ascetic of the Valaam Monastery? How did the Swedes build Nien city in the center of modern Saint-Petersburg and why did Peter I want it to be the capital, but then change his mind? How did neutral Sweden contrive to fight against Russia in the both world wars?
