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"

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