Швеция была военным гигантом — пока не вторглась в Россию (The National Interest, США)

Да уж в оригинале так же
"Then came the Great Frost of 1709, the coldest winter that Europe had experienced in the previous 500 years"
"The Swedes suffered about 19,000 casualties, almost their entire force. The Russians also suffered. But as later invaders were to learn, the Russians could replace their losses while the invaders could not."
Историки херовы!!!
