Soviet Refugees to Sweden 1941–1947 and the Raoul Wallenberg Case
(2015) In Journal of Baltic Studies 46(4). p.435-457- Abstract
- In the years 1941–1948, thousands of people escaped across the Baltic Sea from
eastern Europe to Sweden, primarily from the Baltic states but also from the
USSR. On the basis of newly declassified Soviet correspondence through
encrypted cables between the Soviet foreign ministry and the Soviet legation
in Stockholm for the years 1944–1947, this article addresses the Soviet-Swedish
diplomatic negotiations over a number of these refugees. The article also asks
whether the 1947 Andrei Vyshinskii note on Raoul Wallenberg should be
understood not only as a Soviet attempt to put an end to the Wallenberg
case, but also to acquire a change in Sweden’s handling of Soviet requests for
the extradition of refugees.
