Train Cost To Auschwitz From Krakow

Once in Sweden ...

During a feast in Stockholm I toasted for Russian-Swedish friendship of Charles XII. Was such a moment;) The Swedes, of course, have round eyes. For them, it is indeed a national hero, but such a turn no one expected. Therefore said I was probably the first Russian who spoke so kind words about Sweden in the last three centuries. The next toast was Swedish, and as you might guess, also for the Russian-Swedish friendship for Peter I. You do not have any policies or joint economic projects - simply good relations between people.

talked, of course, about "normanizm. To modern educated Swedes are wildness, particularly in the current Russian version. There is clear to everyone that if the ancient Russes were vikingar, this does not mean that they came from Sweden. Quite the contrary. During that same feast, we noted with regret that our ancestors at all times is too much at war with each other. However, "normanizm" there is not such a sick theme (By definition), as in the national historiography. To strengthen the friendship between Russia and the Swedish kingdom, he is not needed. Not to mention the academic Science, in which "normanizm" absolutely not appropriate.
