The main part of Sweden, which is Sweden today, has never been conquered by Russia – or any other country, for that matter, ever since 1523, when King Gustav Vasa freed Sweden from Denmark and became Sweden's first king.Sweden was partially conquered by the Russians. That part of Sweden is today known as Finland. Norway and Denmark haven't conquered Sweden as such, but we shared a german/polish/norwegian/danish royal family in a personal union for a while.Swedes did not conquer Moscow; Poles and French did. Let us, however, start from very beginning.
Has Sweden ever been in a war : Since a short war against Norway in 1814 in conjunction with the creation of the union, Sweden has not been involved in any war. Since World War I, Sweden has pursued a policy of non-alignment in peacetime and neutrality in wartime, basing its security on a strong national defense.
Who is Sweden’s biggest enemy

- Denmark and Sweden have since the Viking Age been rivals, and are the two countries in the world that have led the most Wars against each other through history.
Did Sweden lose a war : After its defeat in the Great Northern War (1700–21) against the combined forces of Denmark, Poland and Russia, Sweden lost most of its provinces on the other side of the Baltic Sea and was reduced essentially to the same frontiers as present-day Sweden and Finland.
Battle of Poltava, (June 27 [July 8, New Style], 1709), the decisive victory of Peter I the Great of Russia over Charles XII of Sweden in the Great Northern War. The battle ended Sweden's status as a major power and marked the beginning of Russian supremacy in eastern Europe.
1788
June 21 (July 2) 1788 the Swedish army under King Gustav III invaded the Russian Finland putting a start to the Russo-Swedish war 1788-1790.
When did Sweden lose to Russia
1709
Many battles were fought over the 21 years, but Russia finally defeated Sweden at the Battle of Poltava in 1709, although a formal peace treaty was not signed until 1721. The renowned French writer Voltaire (1694-1778) called it the “Famous War of the North.”But in 1709, the Swedish army lost a decisive battle against the Russians near the town of Poltava in present-day Ukraine. After that defeat, Sweden was no longer a great power in Europe. Sweden was involved in many wars during its history, but since 1815, the country has been at peace.After Sweden intervened in 1630 with great success in the Thirty Years' War on the side of the German Protestants, and Gustav II Adolf became one of Europe's most powerful monarchs, Sweden defeated Denmark in the two wars of 1643–45 and 1657–58.
