Abstract
This thesis researches the Swedish conservative intellectual magazine Svensk Tidskrift and their view on Russia, between the years of 1915–1919. It further examines how the view changes over the years. The research also analyses the view on Russia in Svensk Tidskrift from a perspective of center-periphery. Sweden and Russia have a long relationship that goes way back to several centuries before, and that is still relevant and ongoing to this day, as Russia stays a hot topic in political and military discussions in Sweden. During 1915–1919 Russia is both involved in a world war and goes through a socialistic revolution. Those events show to be of big interest to Svensk Tidskrift, and are frequently discussed in the magazine throughout the... (More)
This thesis researches the Swedish conservative intellectual magazine Svensk Tidskrift and their view on Russia, between the years of 1915–1919. It further examines how the view changes over the years. The research also analyses the view on Russia in Svensk Tidskrift from a perspective of center-periphery. Sweden and Russia have a long relationship that goes way back to several centuries before, and that is still relevant and ongoing to this day, as Russia stays a hot topic in political and military discussions in Sweden. During 1915–1919 Russia is both involved in a world war and goes through a socialistic revolution. Those events show to be of big interest to Svensk Tidskrift, and are frequently discussed in the magazine throughout the years examined. The writers in Svensk Tidskrift view Russia before the revolution as a military and political center, and are interested in different aspects of the country, such as general politics, culture, trade, persecution of Russian Jews and the Russian church. That view changes during the Russian revolution when the writers see the country as a nation in destruction. After the revolution the writers Svensk Tidskrift become very focused on the Bolsheviks and their military successes in Russia, while the view on Sweden in relation to Russia remains as passive and peripheral, except when it comes to Finland, which is described as the closest link to Sweden. Yet the magazine stays very interested in the country and its development. (Less)
