Abstract

The letters of the Swedish king Charles XII (1682-1718) are an interesting source of information about the Great Northern War. Until now, it has not been introduced into circulation by Russian historiography, despite the fact that in his letters the king refers to the Russian army, Tsar Peter I and his subjects. The article examines the references, contained in the correspondence of Charles XII about the Russian-Swedish military confrontation of 1700-1721 in connection with the twists and turns in the fate of the warrior king himself.
