Exact science must presently fall upon its own keen sword...from Skepsis there is a path to "second religiousness," which is the sequel and not the preface of the Culture.

Finland used to be Swedish territory and many people still speak swedish there.

Sweden also have a historical connection to Russia...not just through war, since in there actually existed russian orthodox monasterys in Island like Gotland (a Island that has the place of Crete in the Baltic Sea). The first saint in sweden was Ingegerd who late became shema nun under the name of Anna and is now venerated as Holy Anna of Novgorod.

I have noticed that several americans confuse Sweden with Schweiz. And there are some resemblances. Both countries are very small and wants to be neutral in war. Sweden is though a germanic country, while Schweiz is both germanic and frensch.

Good, Russian (old Russ] also have blood Vikings (they were of the tribe of "Variegos"]... there are some historians and anthropologists who say that Russian have more Viking blood (German) that Slav. And other more extremists say that they are "German speak a Slavic language"

We only have Cyprianos here, but I was in first hand thinking of GOC or ROAC. We have many greeks in sweden. I myself is 50% percent greek on my fathers side, and many russians (my wife is russian), and many swedish converts. So a traditional priest would have much work to do here.

You should speak with some bishop to begin a mission there.
