Volevo solo condividere uno dei miei dipinti preferiti Carlo XII e Ivan Mezapa dopo la battaglia di Poltava, Svezia e Ucraina combatterono insieme allora e lo faremo ancora. Fratelli in blu e giallo.

Mazepa
My great great.. grandfather was there.
He survived but was taken to Siberia and was later released so he could return home, all by foot.
Kind of have a grudge with the orcs over this.
/Sweden
There’s a Swedish village in my region called Zmiivka (Gammalsvenskby)
Mazepa switched sides and betrayed Peter I of Russia. He was then cursed by the Russian Orthodox church, excommunicated and died in exile. The battle of Poltava was lost by the Swedes. Karl XII spent several years in exile after that battle. This is probably not the best example of a successful war against Russia.
