  • In Soviet Russia, shit films make you.

  • little swedes being pissy 

  • haha Russian woman killing trained soldiers and two Rambo Russians defeating hundreds of soldiers alone.. I have actually seen this movie it is very unrealistic.

  • This is just Russian bullshit! The Carolean army was the most skilled feared and powerful army in Europe a cuple of mere peasents could not defeat them!

  • wow overtake by two men and a hore of women... just wow guy WTF

  • 1:47-throught the ambush reminds me of the bullshit movee: The Patriots  When one FUCKING GUY KILLED LIKE 20 men.. ffs

  • Dude like wtf? WHy do they make te most well trained, Better Weaponary and better prepared also better Discpline, They make those type of Armies look weak and that they can't fight for a bitch. Example: this Move, Sweden-Better Dsicplined, trained, And better prepared. Sweden look like a bunch of weak ass bitches that can't fight

    The Patriot- Britian, Better trained, More prepared-Look like a bunch of weapon in uniform no offence.

    Last of the MOhicans-Britain-Make them look stupid.

    The Patrio

  • SO FUCKING UNREALISTIC A PATY OF ARMED WEAPON CHARGING AT A WELL PREPARED ARMY WTF? THAT WAS THE GAYEST SCENE I EVER SEEN

  • It was the girls faught she was shot. Cause it was self Defence. She tried to come at him with a weapon and he protected him self.

  • This russian propaganda movie has one good point and thats that we did raid severall towns in russia and ukraina on our way to moscow but the rest of this movies historical facts is nothing but phatetic lies.

  • Remember Narva russia....remember

  • This is russian propaganda at its highest level, go Sweden!! :D

  • Swedish soldiers in this movie act like the SS or the Japanese imperial soldiers.

  • it's very interesting readin about "The Great Northen war" much more then readin about brittish empire vs america. But this movie is crap and 100% propaganda -.-

  • EUROPEAN NATIONALISTS UNITE!

    If you REALLY want to know why all the immigrants are in Europe, Search YouTube for:

    "How Zionists divide and Conquer".

  • Wow so russians make pro-russian movies, who knew

  • bullshit film the makers will burn in hell so i dont care how bad it may be the makers will come to hell and the carolins to Valhalla!

  • @xganger2 If you're point is that Swedes are to meager to kill people then you're making a huge mistake!

  • the swedish soldiers must be drunk, Can not kill two guys and a couple of women. What an anti swedish crap movie

  • @Faasio If you're point is that Swedes are to meagre to take a man down then you're making a huge mistake!

  • Oh hes a real bad guy he is, he shot someone who was going to him. films like these make me laugh.

  • First off: Sweden is the only country through history, that has managed to march into Moscow and lay claim on Russian soil. Germany failed, so did Napoleon. So, no, we're not totally useless. Secondly: This is bullshit. Russia used "Burn the ground" method in this war, destroying towns and supplys (Well they always do lol) in the path of the Swedish army. And by doing so, they killed their own people, starved the Swedish army. Leaving roughly 17000 Swedes left to fight 60000 Russians. Glory? Ha!

  • @Selor12 Correction my friend, Napoleon did conquer Moscow but the Russians burned it to the ground so that no glory would be achieved.

    Both Germany and Napoleon did lay claim to Russian soil, but the ammount of time that they held the Russian land was to short to be of any significane (same goes for the Swedes).

    The "Burn the ground" tactic that you are talking about is "The Schorched Earth warfare".

  • @HydratedProductions I meant, that we marched in as the victorious country. Napoleon lost the war. We did loose the county's we conquered. But none the less we marched in as the victorious country. Napoleons army, btw, was the strongest army in modern history. And when we lost the soil, we had Denmark attacking from the west, and yet we maintained Ingria and Kexholm. Everyone has laid claim on other countrys..But not when marching into the heart of the tsardom. Sweden is what, 100 times smaller?

  • @Selor12 Ehm...

    1. Napoleon also marched into russia as a victorious country (If you mean that he had conquered regions and won battles because I couldn't make sence of it)

    2. When Napoleon lost he had Prussia, GB, Austria, Denmark, Mecklenburg, etc. etc..., Sweden is actually not smaller than france and at the time it was much larger then France

    3. many countries have also walked in to the cold heart of tsardom and the harsh deserts of Egypt... France did both.

  • @HydratedProductions We did not loose against Russia, but against a Polish army. Size, are you fucking kidding me? I meant population wise ofcourse. 2. Napoleon lost the most of his army in Russia. Not due to Russias allys. Lol, we walked away victorious. Russia declared war after this took place, and reconquered the most of the terretories. In the 1800's there was 1-2 million Swedes all in all. Perhaps a quarter of it men. Then count out those who couldn't fight. Size? Lol get real.

  • @Selor12 Sweden did lose against a russian army and were at that time allied with the polish, due to sweden conquering Poland just before starting the campaign against Russia (I'm counting the battle of Poltava as the end of Swedish imperial glory). Population wise, sweden had more then 1-2 million due to regions around the baltics such as Pommern, Ingria, Finland Etc... Sweden alone had 1,5-2million citizens but the states all together doubled the numbers.

    How can Sweden be victorious!?

  • @HydratedProductions Check out Swedens population when this occured. You mite get surprised. Dude, get fucking real lol. Do you really think that those people from the recently conquered terretories would join Swedens army? Haha, pathetic. No, Sweden/Russia lost against a Polish Hussar army at the battle of Klushino. Russian army ~45k men. Swedish "temporarily" allied army ~5-10k men. And that was the End of de la gardies campain in Russia. Later on Russia declared war and reclaimed the land.

  • @Selor12 Recently conquered? Many regions had been in Swedish possesion in over 20Years and Nationalism did not occur in the same magnitude at that time believe it or not. And the battle of Klushino!? That is Poland versus Russia, the famous charge of the Polish Winged hussars, Russia had hired Swedish mercanaries to fight in their army...

    And Sweden marched into russia with 72'000 men when the campaign started leaving 16'000 in the home regions and of course a substansial force of militia.

  • @HydratedProductions Why, were you there at the time? Exactly stop talking about crap you obviously don't know anything about. Haha, "Ingermanländska kriget" -When de la gardie marched into russia - 1600's was a Swedish campain, you should really read on before you utter yourself. Before the battle of poltava Sweden invaded with 80k~. But most of em starved or froze to death due to scorch ground. Leaving 17k starving Swedes left to fight a Russian army of around 60k with their condition intact.

  • @Selor12 You state that I know nothing about it, but you don't say what I said wrong. and 1600's was not a "swedish campaign" it was the Beginning and the end of the Swedish Great power era. I did however read your statement wrong, I thought you wrote that Sweden was in war with russia and that Poland was allied with Russia, so that was a blunder on my part. But I failed at reading your statement because you wandered of to events 100Years before the ending of the Swedish fall.

  • @Selor12 I dont know if my previous response were posted, but as an add up if it did.

    What did De la Gardie have to do with the swedish army marching into Russia at the 1700? I did not state anything about 1600s being a campaign or that the 1600's was of any importance. I stated that the battle of poltava was fought in the same terms and you brought up Klushino which was highly irrelevant. If anything you were the one talking crap by stating historical events that had nothing to do with it.

  • @HydratedProductions No, i did not say that either. You responded to my comment, not i to yours. And i know perfectly well that Sweden lost the battle of poltava. That was not my point. This vid shows Swedes in a bad way, and therefore i brought up that Russia burned down villages before the Swedes even got there = This did not occure. Not saying that Swedes aren't capable of such crappy things, just that it did not happen here. And again; you replied to my comment. Read it, before arguing.

  • First off: Sweden are the only country through history that has managed to march into Moscow and lay claim on Russian soil. Germany failed, Napoleon aswell. So no, we're not totally useless. Secondly: This is bullshit. The Russians burned all towns and supplys before the Swedes even got there. Conclusion: By using "burn the ground" method they killed their own people, not Sweden. Over 40.000 Swedes starved to death before they engaged into battle. Leaving approx ~17.000 left to fight.

  • Propaganda movie that reeks of shit... too bad since we need a couple of films from the 1700s... No shitty movies about the Usa, the patriot was more than enough.

    no, we need some of the Northern war and the other conflicts in Europe at the time.

  • Anybode else who sees striking similarities to a part of Mel Gibsons "The Patriot"?

  • Not just similaritie, but some scenes was right of copied. Its like the Russian version of the Patriot.

  • @EchoWhiskyOne Yes this movie is full of it haha. This movie has AWEFULL audio, they use some audio from ''The Patriot'' but dispite that it's a good movie.

  • this proofs how evil the swedes really are!!! xD omg such bad acting

  • crazy woman´s XD

  • Comment removed

  • The swedish wsoldiers are talking russian... Just great! Bloody russian propaganda movie!

  • it´s a russian movie, dumbass! maybe that´s why ;-)

  • I have seen the movie, but then they don't talk russian.. This most be a "total-russian" version were verybody talk russia, because in the original they speak swedish.

  • sverige owns jag är den ultimata härskaren !!

  • love what Dalira74 sayd cuse its so trueXD I am gana study for in media and hoping in the futher I can make a movie about the northern war.but to make all the way from the landing on copehagen whuld probably make it one long movie or several. and why whuld sweden use scorsed earth when it whuld only hurt them? the russians used it so the swedish army whuld gain no food for the army.

  • yeah great the "swedes" is't talking swidish

  • And I've noticed that little miss spelling, do mind I'm drunk right now but never the less saying it just like it is.

  • This movie is so stupid... it very clearly suffers from Legolas-syndrome in favor of Russia. And that's just one messed up thing about it.

    Such crap, why can't anyone make an actual historical movie about the Great Northern War all the way from the naval landing at Copenhagen to the Treaty of Nystad and have it be non-retarded the way The Patriot and such movies almost always are?

  • IT would take a swede to make a movie about it and we are not proude of any kind of historical acomplishments, like beating 35000 Russians with less than 9000 Swedes at Narva. We are (officially) only proude of when the enemies defeated us and upset of when we kicked so much ass omn enemy terrytory. Oh, and don't mentíon Russian naval bombardments on Swedish cities in this war or the fact that it took Russia 21 years to defeat Swedens tiny population. Oficial Sweden won't honour it's heroes.

  • If i win some miljons i will finance a series of movies about the greath northen war, as it acctually happened! I think about 20 super epic historical movies would be just enough to summon it up, i wouldent care about if nobody saw it, i woud anyway had made it for myself and other ppl ho loves this time period.

  • fun for the swedes that that villege wasnt burnd already by the russians

  • Oh Common guys its clearly a Patriots copy.

  • 2:36 4 guys shoot him all miss WTF

    2nd the swedish army never raided towns any one who looted would be shot i love it how 2 Russia boys beat a whole party of Caroleons the best soldiers at the time

  • They're main heroes, they're allowed to :)

  • @DarthNithilues Sweden lost to Russia in GNW, thus no one in swedish army can't be the best. The best soldiers don't lose battles. Being the best means winning all the time.

  • @Enlightener922

    Thats ridiculous,the best soldiers do lose battles,overwhelmed by greater numbers,swedes were heavily outnumbered,and attacking,at Poltava,at a point it was impossible to win,no matter the quality of the soldiers,put in their place the much more famous british readcoats,and they wouldn´t stand half what the swedish did.

  • Why are there swedish girls in the movie, aint the russians nice? *NOT/

  • она плохо относилась к своим младшим братьям и сёстрам?

  • Battle for Fraustadt:

    Killed Swedes: 424

    Killed Russians: 8000

    Captured Russians 7600

  • Pity you lost the war tho =]

  • bad russian girls

  • swedes were very very diciplined. They may not drink beer despite on sunday, had very hard rules and if you robbed someones house or a ciwilian, you get shoot. So the first scene is unrealsitic and just wants to give swedes a bad name. Also the russian wanted to kill a swed, so well he shot her and every man would do the same.

    I am dam proud of beeing swedish!

    Jag är stol at vara svensk och ärar mina tappra förädrar som stred för sverige!

  • I LOVE SWDISH GIRLZ!!!!!!! SO CUTE! only one problem...I heard you don't use bidet...

  • @andrew881thebest lol had to look that word up... no we don't use bidet much in Sweden. We have other means to stay clean. ;)

  • @JSLegoMaster

    That was clearly for the armys sake that they robbed the house. And as you probably know Swedish history, the army was in bad shape at Poltava, with almost no supplies and demorilized they fought and lost.

  • @JSLegoMaster the scence after the first are unrealistic too.... shitty russian films

  • @JSLegoMaster för att han sköt henne var ju för att hon tänkte hugga en soldat i ryggen så han gjorde rätt i det

  • @JSLegoMaster your comment is fake and gay

  • its looks fun that the swedish soldiers are shown as SS =P

  • So sad that they had to kill that woman :(

    But she was running at that Swedish Soldier with a pitchfork and the other soldier was trying to protect his comrade.

  • Swedish, take it easy! This movie is about two french duelist. All other is entourage. Swedish, Russians, Poles and Frenches are barbarians, intrigants, libertines, murderers and dishonourable fellows. Only Germans are good in this film, but they were killed on twentieth minute :) Bad guys win. He-he.

  • The main hero is womanizer and arrogant man. The second main hero is intrigant. The third main hero is bad-mannered sadist and didn't marry to mother of his children. Lui XIV is profligate and supercilious killer. Carl XII is vain and presumptuous. Peter I is cruel cynic. Menshikov is sly toady. Both armies are full of idiots. The main woman is crafty bitch. And the french girl is fool. That's why this film is rather interesting.
  • Mannerheim - Mannerheimlinie. Defenseline in WW2 against Soviets. Mannerheim sounds very German ;) like the City Mannheim. Germanic are the best ;)

  • Is it only me, but doesnt this look like "the patriot"?. Almost the same scene, same story?

  • finland har bara varit självständigt i drygt 100 år

  • Russian bestiaries! Kill them all! women and cildren! They were the most stupid people ever lived on earth. An example to all woh give me a bad comment, how could they get so high losess?

  • Well in the beginning, swedes were very very diciplined. They may not drink beer despite on sunday, had very hard rules and if you robbed someones house or a ciwilian, you get shoot. So the first scene is unrealsitic and just wants to give swedes a bad name. Also the russian wanted to kill a swed, so well he shot her and every man would do the same.

  • hahaha, inferior swedes they lost it all :)

  • Ah, we Swedes are so evil, attacking the poor Russians and killing their women. =)

    Don't get me wrong, I not only stand but can also enjoy swedes as bad guys, I just want to note that the Russians actually invaded Sweden (the official Casus Belli was that Peter of Russia had been "treated badly" when he visited Estonia) and it was supported by virtually every power around the Baltic, Saxony, Brandenburg, Denmark, Poland... and of those, only Russia proved unconquerable to our beloved king Karl.

  • Killing women, elderly and children is not excatly an heroic act. I do not know what you are thinking in your head. Russia could have invaded Sweden if they really have wanted to. Your King was sitting in Turkey in "voluntary excile" at the time. Pretty close, ha.

  • Are you joking? The Russians were actually repelled in northern Finland, they were defeated at Stäket, they tried to invade Sweden but failed.

  • Well, that's pretty much my point. But see, the Russians did the same thing, *to their own people*. What did you think scorched earth tactics meant?

    And the Russians tried invading Sweden. It did not go well for them.

    So... Russia teamed up with four other powers, tried to invade Sweden, failed, were pushed back, began killing their own people and burning their own food which made the Swedish army starving (a great strategic move), and OUR king, Finn, was beat. Remember you fathers who fought.

  • I said. Russia was close to succeed. I pretty much know about the tactics because in Finland houses, barns and bridges were all burnt in the Winter War when civilians were evacuated. Great Northern War e.g. 11000 men, 4400 Sweds, others Finns, Estonians i.e. majority. Finland was a separate part of Swedish Kingdom. There was no OUR significantly. For most it was YOURS.

  • What are you talking about 11,000 civilians were evacuated or what..?

  • Nope. It was a part of "egentliga Sverige", the "real Sweden", switched between a part of Norrland and the now defunct province of Österland. Finland was Swedish. Get over it.

    And no, Russia was not close to succeeding. Narva, Holowczyn, Fraustadt and countless other battles before and Helsingborg, Gadebusch and Stäket after were excellent victories.

    We've had a lot of common history, Finn. Do not be angry, you have benefited from this as much as we have benefited from you. We are siblings.

  • Welcome to Finland to see how "Swedish" Finland is. You'll get some idea how "Swedish" Finland has been during ages. Get over it.

  • Well, in parts of Finland they speak "Swedish" and "Swedish" is thaught in school. Your precious general Mannerheim was of Swedish descent and there are lots of Finland-Swedes. I'm sure Finland is not Sweden today as I never have claimed, but Finland was before.

    The idea that Finland should be independent is somewhat new, only some 200-years old.

    Things are such as this, or what they were. I mean no disrespect, I only try to give truth.

  • Mannerheim was not a Swede. Sorry about that. His family is Dutch of origin. Swedish could soon be gone from our schools. Finn-Sweds 4,9%. Foreigners 1.9%. Finland has been Finland. No disrespect but what do think Finland has been before 14th century. Air? Empty? Sweden is not much older and we inhabited Sweden before Germanic tribes. Ups.

  • You sure? Well, not an ethnic Finn, at least. Close enough.

    I know. I think it is a pity, we have much common history.

    I think, or know, that Finland was a collection of tribes, no more united than the tribes of Germany during the Roman period. And you did not inhabit it. The Sami did.

    And even if you had, what does it matter? We Indo-European Swedes has been here since the roman times, been united since the age of Vikings c 800. You were not, and fell victim to Swedish Imperialism.

  • Finn by ethnicity. Karelia. Close enough. Sami and Kvens and others. Swedish Imperialism is mostly written and downplays all nations around it. It is as reliable as Russian history writing. Just follow the research and you will be enlightened. Greets.

  • Why would your history be better? Or anyone else, for that matter? I have followed reaserch in different countries and British and German sources tend to claim greater things of Swedes then we do ourselves. History is subjective, and yours is no more true than anyone else.

    Cheers.

  • You ment Mannerheim. Actually Finns are the closest to the Dutch according to genetic research. It does not make Mannerheim an ethnic Finn though. Just interesting coincidence.

  • I did not know. Interesting. I would've guessed another Finno-Ugric people, like Estonians or Hungarians... But donät get me wrond, I believe you.

  • Good guess. The Dutch, Swedish and Estonians as well.

  • One more correction. Finnic tribes have been in the North before Germanic ones. And I mean long before. I do not know where you got that false information. Germanic tribes to the north-west and north on the 5th or 6th century on.

  • History-papers, teachers, that kinda stuff. Could you post something about where to find proof of some sort that the Finnish people inhabited Sweden before... meant in the least confrontational way possible.

  • Komsa and Funsa cultures e.g. around 8000-7000 bc. Not to mention later eras.

  • *edit*. I ment Cavalry in Poland the majority were Finns (3000 vs 2300 others).

  • Svenskarna war helt överlägsna. här är nogra exempel som bevisar det:

    Narvaslaget 1700: 667 döda svenskar, 15000 döda rüssar.

    Dünaslaget 1701: 100 döda svenskar, 2000 döda sachsare

    Klizovslaget 1702: 300 döda svenskar, 1700 döda sachsare

    Saladenslaget 1703: 40 döda svenskar, 576 döda rüssar

    Pultuskslaget 1703: 18 döda svenskar, 200 döda sachsare

    Jakopstadtslaget 1704: 57 döda sve, 2300 döda sachsen.

    Gemauerthoslaget 1705: 800 döda sve, 6500 döda rüssar.

  • "Svenskarna war helt överlägsna. här är nogra exempel som bevisar det"

    Armfeldts fälttåg to Trondheim 1718 = In total 10073 men. Only 1700 men returned back to sweden after the unsuccesfull invasion (campain). hahahaha

    The Norwegians shot Karl Gustav XII as well....after the Great nordic war...the whole sweddie army went home again...hahahaha

  • Wow, read some history before talking will you? Armfeldts Karoliner consisted of 6,000 men, 3,000 returned. That's only 3,000 dead.

    It was incredible that that many survived, but its probably a proof of Swedish steel isn't it?

  • "Svenskarna war helt överlägsna. här är nogra exempel som bevisar det"

    Armfeldts failed invasion of Trondheim in Norway counted 10 073(tenthousand-and-seventy-th­ree) men. Only 1700 (one-thousand-sevenhoundred) went back alive to sweden. The other loss the sweddies suffered simultaneously further south in Norway, was the loss of their King Karl XII he was shot.

  • haha source?`It was 6000 men, 3000 died.

  • 10073 went out from sweddieland to Norway. only 1700 maked it alive back home.

  • As I said, 6,000 went there, 3,000 made it back home you little norwegian, by the way, why do you pretend that you're brazilian? are you ashamed?

  • "Svenskarna war helt överlägsna. här är nogra exempel som bevisar det"

    During the Operations in Sweden 1809 The war continued on into northern Sweden and in March of 1809 the Russians made raids against the Umeå area in Sweden.

    In Finland Swedes tried a last desperate attempt to put 3,500 troops ashore at Helsinge, but these troops were too weak to face a much stronger enemy. And Sweden faced a embarrasing defeat. Sweden was lucky to not be taken over totally :)

  • Sweden defeated the Russians at Ratan and Sävar, and also made the borders more favourable for us than the Russians proposed from the beginning, they failed to conquer us, but fact is that we were very poor in the early 19th century, while Russia had one of the worlds best armies, still we managed to keep our independence thanks to our good fighting will, if we had lost more, we wouldv'e lost our country, we simply defeated them in the end.

  • The Russians went as far south as to Umeaa in Sweden in 1809(Lucky for the swedes that Russians not went further south so you not lost your whole country)...do you call that good defence LOL.

  • Since they were defeated there, yes, we kept our independence thanks to a victory there, the Russians were simply not able to go any further because we defeated them there.

  • JSLegoMaster, Du glömde slaget vid Fraustadt:

    Döda svenskar: ca 424 ,Döda Sachsare/ryssar: 8000. Tillfångatagna sachsare/ryssar: 7600.

    DOCK var Sverige nästan inte ens hälften så många som fienden, ca 9000 mot 18000 PLUS att Sachsarna/ryssarna hade artelleri, det hande inte sverige.

  • Ja, men som du ser kamrat var vi helt överlägsna! I enget anat Krig har verlusterna varit so olika, inte ens i rommartiden!

  • finns den film i butiken

  • Satans skitfilm. Den är knappast realistisk

  • I'm Swedish and I think this movie is fantastic. High budget, well directed and very good screenplay. The characters speak their native languages (though the actors playing Swedes are terribly dubbed. Lol) and no one is simply "evil" but have a plausible motivation for his/her actions. And I don't think the Swedes are portrayed as monsters. A few are bastards, of course, but overall the Carolinians were shown as tough soldiers the Russians barely managed to beat at Poltava. Respect, Ryaskov!

  • High budget compared to what? Alfons Åberg? Even that is doubtly.

  • "för faen,dom er kvinnor" hahahahahahahahaha

  • Svenskarna war helt överlägsna. här är nogra exempel som bevisar det:

  • Nice statistics. You are missing the Finns and others there. Your army never consisted of Swedes.

  • Yeah, of course. there were 13 finnish regiments in the carolean army, but i they didnt speak finnish..

  • 150,000 out of the 200,000 Caroleans were real Swedes, Finland only stood for about 40,000, so yes the vast majority were Swedes not Finns as you finnish nationalists want to belive.

  • Tomten. First learn what a nationalist means before you falsely claim someone else to be one. "Swedish" army was not "Swedish" but multinational. And you have to know it. English, Scots, Poles, Finns, Balts. In the 17th century 30% of the army were Finns. Out of 3000 Cavalry men in Poland e.g. 2300 Finns. Out of Armfelts army 6000 out of 10000 Finns. You can deny as much as you want. No result.

  • Nope, during the 30 years' war 34% or something out of the 20,000 Swedish/Finnish troops were Finnish, rest Swedish.

    However during the 30 years war you may also note that the army consisted of 150,000 men and that the VAST majority of them were German mercenaries. That makes it about a total of ~7000 Finns in the army at the time.

    3,000 cavalry men in Poland? What war?

    Also, Its not strange that most of the men in Armfeldts army were finns, since he led the FINNISH ARMY.

  • So to put it short, the army was more or less Swedish, at least the national one.

  • Also, note that I do not deny that there were finns in the army, they did a great job, but you claimed that it never was Swedish, which is foolishness.

  • Good. You found the Finns in the army after all. The procentages depend on what time period and specific battles you are talking about. It varies from your figures to Finn majority.

  • Not in wars abroad of Finland, except for Armfeldts Karoliner.

    in the Russian campaign from Narva to Poltava the vast majority were Swedes, in the German/polish campaign too (Swedes were still in majority in the later part of the war but at that time many Germans were in the Swedish army as well.)

  • 3:44 - 3:46 was bullshit. with rifles from the early 1700's with 2 men firing it with perfect aim shots to the chest? yeah right

  • U have understood some things wrong. I have fired witha swedish m1704 musjket and on a duistance up to 80m u hit very well. But more than 200m is just good luck.

  • this is just like tht scene from the patriot with mel gibson

  • this is bullshit..the sweets are not this brutal like tht..russian made 101%

  • this is defenatly russian made. They are always making the other countries looking bad, but they haven´t relased that it is themself who are the bad guys.

    the swedes never burn down any village. It was the russian army who did it so the sweds diden´t get any food.

    Even if u russian fagots havent figured it out, Russia are the most hated countrie in the world. No one likes russia exept the russians.

  • Actually swedes used scorched earth policy on russian soil as well. I have read swedish historians on the account of northern war, and they stated that swedish army has been looting and burning villages as well.

  • Yep but we had a reason... we were hungry. The russians wasent only bad to the sweeds no they were to evil to ther own ppl! When they burned down the farms,´.

  • get over it you god damn swedish pussy !!!and no ther is no good reason to murder civilians!!

  • I have read in some books that the russian burn down there own village to make sure that the swedish army didnt find food

  • It's actually a tactic called "Scorched Earth" and lots of armies have used that one, I belivie Swedes have as wellat some point. The Russians did it against Napoleon and Hitler and it worked well.

  • Russian version of the patriot..

  • Oh yeah. Soldiers killing women swedish style. Never heard of such a thing. He could have easily countered the woman with the rifle. Also, its a very nice touch with the swedish captain who looks like an arab immigrant and all the soldiers speak swedish with an extremely foreign accent. Tells a lot about us. But I guess the message here is: Swedes are barbarians, And Russians are righteous victims.

  • maybe they didnt brag about killing women nor report it back to sweden. But sure I dont know how it went.

  • No one really knows I guess. But if they did kill women, I will gonna blame it on equal society.

  • calm down swedish guys, this film for domestic use

  • Well, I think that he couldn't have countered her with his musket. His comrade was about to get stabbed in the back, he had no time to do anything else but shoot her. I think anyone would have reacted this way. I guess the Russians wanted to present this as an act of barbarism, but they failed to do so, because the Swede did the right thing and the woman is the only one to blame.

  • My opinion stands. There was only one attacker, a girl. The situation was relatively calm. And the girl had only a pitchfork, split in three directions. A blocking or counter would be the easiest thing to do for a trained Caroline.

  • The guy who was being attacked was facing her with his back, unable to defend himself. The shooter was like 2 metres away from him, too far to block her. And his bayonet wasn't fixed, putting him to a disadvantage. Of course, we can also say it was a split-second decision and he didn't really have the time to think about it.

    Hell, I don't even know why we are arguing over this. I agree with you that the Russians probably tried to make the Swedes look bad. In my opinion, they have failed.

  • rysk skit propaganda, troligt att ryttaren har ihjäl alla svenska soldatera.

    Alla svenska patrioter som vet hur det igentligen gick till ge mig tummen upp!

  • Ja är svensk och är stolt for det. Svenskarna var et stort rike omkring 1700. Dom hadde invarderat Lettland,estalnd, Delar av Polen, schleswig Holstein, Pommern. And the swedes won many battles before this at poltava. Their bigges victory was at narva. In the whole war there were about. 2times as many dead russians as swedes.

  • Kan till och med vara 3-4 ggr så många ryska förluster under stora nordiska kriget.

  • 4 ppl gives fire on him on 3 meter away, and all miss him? Wtf? 2:36

  • Yeah, snaphanar was insane and I didn't watch more than a few minutes of it. In reality, few states have treated it's people better than Sweden. Wasn't it the baltic peoples that said that the times under Swedish rule was the good times?What other peopple has ever said that about an invader?

  • well we slaughterd the people in skåne sorry about that but that is true. they rebeled so we had no choice but still we treated them well

  • Det går galet! Det går galet! Så skrek en general, KNÄ OM KNÄ IGENOM DÖDENS PORTAL!

    År 1709 då dödens port stod trång. KNÄ OM KNÄ JAG ÄRAR DEM MIN SÅNG!

  • B-Movie.. Just look at that guy killing everybody by himself hahaha!

  • bit like the patriot

  • This kind of movie would be big in Sweden.. the moore swedish soldiers that die and the moore you celerbate the enemy the greater the movie gets. We had "Snapphanar" on TV a while ago, and then they shot Swedish/finnish soldiers like flies, and the rebels of Skåne where celebrated as heroes.. man i hate that!

  • well in the Movie "Snapphanar" it was the Danes and Snapphanar which got killed easely and not Swedes ^^ Just as it was.. But this Russian Movie is just Propaganda.

  • unhappy ends are always better.

  • Well, of course the 'rebels' were heroes, it was the Swedes who were the bad guys, killing & torturing defenceless civilians. At some point the Swedish king considered deporting the entire population of Skåne to the Baltic area! Danish peopel never did anything even vaguely similar to what you Swedes did to the local population there.

    Anyway, I guess the problem here is that we are all biased one way or another, myself included, because I'm Danish. I wish there had never been all these wars..

  • Snapphanar were not rebels but freedom fighters. Danish patriots fighting for their country.

  • You don't think rebel and freedomfighter is the same thing? I'd say snapphanar were rebels.

  • Legally, they were traitors and rebels, but perhaps morally they were freedom fighters. But then there were several kinds of Snapphanes.

  • This must be Russia's response to "The Patriot"

  • Well. No or little swedes like russians. And I think it's vice versa for Russia.

  • Russia is the eternal enemy of Sweden. Always was and always will!!

  • oh maan pleese :)

  • does anybody know where you can get this movie in usa with english subtitles and right dvd format

  • you don't wanna get it, It's just Russian propaganda

  • Can you tell me why is this movie Russian propaganda. Do you mean this whole movie is historically not correct? Can you explain a little because I'm really interested to know more about this period of history, and what realy happend.

  • It's not historically correct at all, first of all this ambush shown in this video is unrealistic, second of all you should take a look at how the film depicts Poltava, It's not realistic at all since the Russians outnumbered the Swedes 3:1 and Sweden barely had any firepowder in reality, but the movie shows the battle as a honorable russian victory.

  • Well I can tell you a bit about the battle sceen in this movie.. It shows Karl XII giving orders wich didnt happend he was badly wounded, could not give orders and was att the back of the line all battle (all other battles he fought in the front and he was the last king in the world that did so). One other thing about the battle is that the Swedes looks like their more or just as many as the russians.. However Sweden had 17 000 men and the russians 44 500, the swedes also only used 4 canons.

  • Laughing out loud for christ sake.

    this is just too much. Russia should be ever so punished for ever making this film.

    It consists only of propagandistic means and unrealistic patriotic scenes.
