In March, the government commissioned the Swedish Defense Research Agency, FOI, to map Russian investments and economic interests in Sweden.
Now they have submitted an interim report to the Ministry for Foreign Affairs - which includes a list of companies.
- We have found 75 companies with a turnover of over one million kronor and where the real principal lives outside Sweden but is a Russian citizen, says Oscar Almén, project manager and researcher at FOI.
He wants to emphasize that there is not necessarily something problematic with the companies on the list.
The purpose of the survey is to gain a better understanding of Russian ownership in Sweden.
- It has been accentuated above all when it is emphasized that there is a security problem, previously foreign ownership was seen most positively, says Oscar Almén.
Three industries dominate among the identified companies: real estate, trade and information and communication technology.
Assets abroad
Since last winter, SVT has examined the influence of Russian rulers in Sweden.
Several of the companies we have looked at are on FOI's list.
It is about Oleg Deripaska who controls the aluminum smelter Kubal in Sundsvall.
He is also a major shareholder in the Austrian construction group Strabag - which in turn owns Swedish companies that have invoiced authorities billions for large infrastructure projects.
Another on the list is Alexei Mordashov, who has long been the largest owner of the travel giant Tui - and who has tried to hide his ownership through secret companies in tax havens.
Minister: "Important piece of the puzzle"
Foreign Trade Minister Anna Hallberg (S) believes that FOI's interim report is "an important piece of the puzzle in the government's work for better compliance with the sanctions".
- The survey will also contribute to increased knowledge and a better basis for decision-making for the government's actions to respond to Russia's unacceptable aggression against Ukraine, she says.
The final report will be presented this autumn.
