The Swedish Empire, although not comparable with the huge areas and populations that we today associate with such empires as Rome, the Mongols or the Russian and British, was a formidable force to be reckoned with during the late seventeenth and early eighteenth centuries. Her rise to the imperium can be traced back to the middle of the sixteenth century when, along with Russia, Poland and Denmark, Sweden also took advantage of the vacuum in the Baltic created after the collapse of the Teutonic Knights. The power struggle that resulted netted Sweden Livonia from Poland, West Pomerania and some of East Pomerania, Bremen, Verden and Wismar. She acquired Halland, Jämtland, Härjedalen and the Gotland and Ösel islands from Denmark, together with Skåne, Bohuslän and Blekinge, while Russia ceded Ingria and Lexholm, which effectively cut her off from the Baltic Sea. The Battle of Poltava (8 July 1709) was the decisive and largest battle of the Great Northern War. A Russian army under the command of Tsar Peter I defeated a Swedish army, under the command of Carl Gustaf Rehnskiöld. The battle put an end to the status of the Swedish Empire as a European great power, as well as its eastbound expansion, and marked the beginning of Russian hegemony in Northern Europe.

"Aleksei Parshchikov (1954-2009) resembled the images we have of his favorite writer, Aleksandr Pushkin, not only physically in life but also in telling a story brilliantly in meter and rhyme. (This book keeps close to the meter and rhyme of the Russian original.) Here the story concerns Poltava, small city in south-east Ukraine, where in 1709 Peter the Great defeated the army of Charles XII of Sweden. Pushkin himself has a long poem with the same topic and characters, but Parshchikov updates to the mid-1980s when as a very young writer he won with it the Andrei Bely prize. The long, treacherous relations of Russia and Ukraine (U-Kraina, at-the-border, the name contains all the issues) is lifted and ironized in the relations between the two Russian poems. Here Peter and Charles and Cossack leader-and-turncoat Ivan Mazeppa (who sided with Sweden) richly deserve scorn-while the thousands of nameless soldiers who followed the dynasts, and died, are put back in history as heroic. Here the modern writer loves the land soaked with their blood. Parshchikov's logic leaps; his rhymes are often jokes; minutely he notices local places, plants, animals. The poem is fully assured in its speaking "I" and in its technical accomplishment. In the last days of the Soviet era, in the contested space between Russia and Ukraine, it is almost impossible to believe a work of such capaciousness was created"--
