Changing the face of Sweden forever too. Took another 10 years but then Sweden moved slowly towards democracy.

Sweden gravitated towards democracy, never to look back. And Russia? They're not looking back from THEIR chosen path either.

Very, almost, true. Sweden had a setback 1774 to 1809 but then the King was deposed and move to democracy continued.
