Det låter som en överdriven scen ur tv-serien ”Bron”. Den svenska alternativhögerprofilen Chang Frick bjuder in den danska provokatören Rasmus Paludan för att bränna koranen utanför den turkiska ambassaden. Det leder till en utrikespolitisk kris, inrikespolitisk splittring och säkerhetspolitiska hot mot Sverige på både kort och lång sikt. Protester mot Sverige har hållits i flera muslimska länder, sunnimuslimernas lärosäte al-Azhar manar till global bojkott och Turkiet drar tillbaka sitt stöd för Sveriges anslutning till försvarsalliansen Nato.

Nu vill ingen av de inblandade riktigt ta ansvar för aktionen. Rasmus Paludan säger till DN att det var Chang Frick, eller en reporter på den högerextrema sajten Exakt 24, som kom på idén att bränna koranen utanför Turkiets ambassad. Chang Frick, som äger sajten Nyheter Idag och är programledare i Sverigedemokraternas kommunikationskanal Riks, svarar DN att han ville uppmuntra till att markera mot Turkiet från högerhåll, men inte skulle uppmuntra någon att bränna koranen.

Russia has masterminded and organized the effort to destabilize Sweden on religious grounds. The operation aims to hamper Sweden’s NATO integration plans, escalate relations with Muslim countries, and create grounds for the acts of terror on the part of Islam followers who arrived in Sweden as refugees.

Therefore the Kremlin also attempts to provoke riots and violence with the subsequent higher risk of international terrorist organizations intensifying their operations in Sweden (a secondary goal).

On January 21, 2023 leader of the Hard Line partly Rasmus Paludan publically burned the Quran outside Türkiye’s embassy in Stockholm. According to the Swedish TV channel SVT, it was a local journalist, Chang Johannes Frick, who proposed that Paludan burn the Quran. He also guaranteed that any damage that the Hard Line leader may sustain in respect to the stunt will be covered.

Russian military intelligence has likely exploited unsuspecting Paludan with the mediation of Chang Johannes Frick, who, according to multiple signs, is a GRU asset recruited for psyops. The location – the area outside Turkey’s embassy in Stockholm – was chosen specifically as the act targeted Ankara. The operation was held ahead of the scheduled visit to Sweden of Turkey’s defense minister. In 2023, the elections will be held in Türkiye, while incumbent President Recep Tayyip Erdogan is competing with the Arab world for influence on Muslims worldwide. To Sweden’s move to apply for NATO membership following Russian full-scale invasion of Ukraine Türkiye responded with a demand to extradite representatives of Kurdish forces and suspects in the 2016 coup d’état case. At the same time, Stockholm’s accession aspirations became a matter of concern for Moscow. As a result, the Kremlin plotted an operation aiming to escalate contradictions between Türkiye and Sweden amid the upcoming elections in Ankara, realizing that an attack on a religious symbol of Islam can’t be ignored during an ongoing campaign.

It is not a coincidence that the riots occur against the backdrop of reports that Sweden could join NATO and at a time when Moscow has voiced threats to Stockholm over its chosen course of action. Russian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Maria Zakharova has said that, “if Sweden and Finland join NATO, this could lead to “negative implications” for peace in northern Europe.
