“In response to all the absurd demands of Russia to NATO, Sweden must put forward its no less absurd demands. We must demand that they return Kexholm (as Priozersk is called in Sweden – approx. Rosbalt),” writes Jonathan Unge, a newspaper columnist and well-known Swedish comedian, in the Aftonbladet newspaper.
He recalls, write “News of Sweden”, that there is an agreement from 1609 with Russia that Kexholm will always be Swedish. “Damn it, an agreement is an agreement. You claim that you have a right to eastern Ukraine, while you yourself stole Kexholm from us. Give back our Kexholm!” Unge sneers.
This is a humorous article in which the comedian pokes fun at the Swedish hysteria about the Russian threat.
Recall that in Sweden they believe that Russia threatens everything and everyone, and the threat is so serious that additional troops were sent to the island of Gotland to repel a possible Russian invasion.
Priozersk on modern Swedish maps is indicated by the old name Kexholm. The fortress and the city were part of Sweden from 1580 to 1595 and from 1617 to 1721. But according to the results of the Northern War, according to the terms of the Nystadt peace treaty, Sweden recognized the annexation of this part of Karelia to Russia.
