Why we celebrate – 500 years (Russian subtitles)

What’s in a number? Why plenty, if you ask us! 2023 truly is a jubilee year for Sweden, with 500 years worth of celebration. It’s a year with more than one Swedish milestone, but at the heart of it all is Sweden’s independence. On 6 June 1523, in the town of Strängnäs, Gustav Vasa was elected King of Sweden. With Gustav Vasa elected, Sweden left the so-called Kalmar Union with Denmark and Norway, and once again became independent. 6 June = Sweden National Day. 2023 also marks 50 years on the Swedish throne for King Carl XVI Gustaf, our current monarch. During the next few months, we’ll be bringing extra attention to the jubilee year that is 2023. So stay tuned!

Sweden – a country less ordinary (Russian, 2021 version)

Sweden – a country less ordinary (Швеция: Очевидная. Невероятная) offers an overview of Sweden.

This image-rich, 100-page book highlights some of the facts, stories and milestones that make Sweden what it is today, with chapters covering society, sustainability, government, equality, culture, history, the Sami, geography, sports, traditions, food, the Swedish language and a timeline of Swedish innovation. Infographics help tell the story and storytelling elements lead the reader on. Rooted in an agricultural past and propelled into the future through innovation, Sweden is multifaceted and perhaps contradictory.

Handlingshjälpen – Дело сердца

Фейсбук-группа Handlingshjälpen (”Помощь с покупками») возникла в Швеции как волонтерская инициатива. Люди постарше, которым рекомендовано оставаться дома, убедились, что окружены отзывчивыми соседями – такими, что с удовольствием сходят за них в магазин или погуляют с собакой. А те, кто помоложе, неожиданно открыли для себя новый круг общения. Ведь дело не во времени, усилии или деньгах – дело в сердце. The film is also available without text for local adaptations.
