Karl XII, or Five Bullets for the King The Swedish king Karl XII so strongly came into the Russian history and Russian consciousness, that when we talk about the Northern war or about activity of the tsar Peter I, we automatically recall his historical opponent. Despite of wide popularity of that not ordinary, grandiose person and abundance of legends and myths about him, in Russia there was no detailed monography until this one.
Шведский король Карл XII настолько прочно вошел в русскую историю и русское сознание, что, когда речь заходит о Северной войне или о деяниях царя Петра I, мы автоматически вспоминаем и о его историческом противнике.
