Everyone knows...

... that Russia is a threat against Sweden.

 Since everyone in Russia is just sitting around, waiting for the signal to invade some country, and since Sweden has so many natural resources and on top of it all, is strategically simply exquisite, we will obviously be the first in a long list of countries, that Russia will attack. That´s for sure. Proven, stamped and archived. 

... that Russian submarines are present in the archipelago of Stockholm. 

In the 80's when our country was being paralyzed with fear due to similar testimonies, the "Soviet submarines" turned out to be ... minks ... and possibly some NATO submarines too ... but THIS TIME the testimonies are most certainly correct, because everyone has seen photographic evidence which, as clear as mud, shows that it was specifically a RUSSIAN submarine, and that this submarine was located specifically in the Stockholm archipelago. That the alleged emergency call to Kaliningrad was pure fable has nothing to do with it. Everyone knows that. And the fact that Dutch submarines, for some reason, are moving around in Swedish waters; that is nothing to snag on. 

... that Putin is all-powerful. 

We, here in this elongated and oh so informed country of Sweden, have done our homework regarding the power structure in Russia. There's actually not much to know really. Putin is in control. All other politicians and entrepreneurs in this huge country are just puppets who have no authority what so ever. It's amazing really, when you think about it. That one person alone is capable of ruling a country that is laid out over no less than NINE time zones and with a whole plethora of different ethnic groups and interests. That he is making all the decisions, all by himself. That is nothing less than phenomenal! Putin is indeed synonymous with Russia! Everyone knows that. 

... that Putin wants to create a new Soviet empire. 

Sure. Russia´s, or one might say Putin´s, military forces have really ravaged wildly over the world and in their actions killed hundreds of thousands or perhaps millions of civilians and collapsed several governments in recent decades. They have created chaos and havoc wherever they have set foot and they have exploited and grabbed all the wealth in the countries they have occupied ... Or how was it now ... maybe we have mixed up the different empires a little bit, but that´s a trifle really, because everyone knows that if only Russia had had the chance, they would have acted EXACTLY the same. And if they had done so, it WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN OK! 

... that elections in Russia are rigged. 

That is something we just know. There is no need for any proof. That´s how it is with elections in Russia, and that´s how it will always be. The fact that the Russians (i.e. Putin), because of all accusations about rigged elections, put up cameras in all polling stations across the country, to prove that everything went by the book, does not matter. Not enough proof. And the fact that Putin is very popular among HIS people - and that the majority (75% or so) might have voted for him if the election would have been honest - that´s not the point here. As long as the Russian president is not accepted, and, most preferably selected, by the West, so elections will simply be seen as illegitimate. 

... that all the real Russians, all Russians that count, dislike Putin. 

Although we've never been to Russia and asked around among the people there what they really think, we have indeed met a couple of emigrated Russians here in Sweden and BOTH of them were very unhappy with the life they had in Russia. Things are different here in Sweden. Everyone knows that all the Swedes who emigrate, really most of all would like to stay because they are SO INCREDABLY PLEASED with everything you can ever imagine here in Sweden. That's why they leave. 

... that Russia is a little behind (250 years or so) in development (due to the Mongols). 

It's very easy to figure that one out. All countries must follow the same trend line. If a country suddenly starts to deviate from this line, well then of course, it goes without saying, that they have strayed from the only existing developmental possibility and thus they fall behind. For time stands still outside this line. Everyone knows that! 

... that Mikhail Gorbachev was the best thing that happened to Russia / Soviet Union. 

The fact that the Russians themselves claim that he was the greatest disaster that the country could suffer ... well, what can you say. They're a little wacky those Russians. We probably know a little bit better what is good for them and not. For crying out loud. 

... that it's ok to boo a person just because he or she is Russian. 

Except if this person is gay, black, or a Jew... Then it's obviously not ok, considering what the poor things have endured throughout history. It wasn´t long ago when a black person could be prosecuted and punished without the slightest evidence. Just because he or she was black! Shameful, is what we think about that.
