Говорили ли в Швеции по-русски в XVII веке? Документ 1697 года

An astonishing document from 1697, still preserved in Swedish libraries. At the official funeral of King Charles XI of Sweden in Stockholm, court master of ceremonies Johan Gabriel Sparwenfeld delivered the funeral oration... in Russian. The text is written entirely in Russian, but printed in Latin script. In this video, we take a detailed look at a rare historical artifact from Uppsala University and the Royal Library of Stockholm. What does this mean? Why was the speech in Russian? And how does this relate to the linguistic situation in Northern Europe in the 17th century? Watch to the end—this is one of the most unusual facts in Russian-Swedish history, rarely mentioned in textbooks.
