After Russia began its invasion of Ukraine, attitudes towards Russians in Sweden have changed, according to Elena Grabets, who herself runs a Russian café in Södermalm. - Every day someone calls and threatens us. Many in Sweden only associate Russia with Putin, she says.
Elena has lived in Stockholm for 13 years.
Cooking Russian food at her own restaurant in Stockholm was her biggest dream.
Four years ago, the dream came true.
But now that the war in Ukraine has begun, everything has been destroyed and customers have disappeared.
- Most of the Swedes hate us.
But war is not my fault.
I do not want war, says Elena Grabets.
