At the height of Europe’s immigration invasion in 2014 and 2015, Sweden, with a population of 6.7 million, accepted 244,178 asylum seekers – by far, the highest rate per capita in the EU. Many Swedes and older immigrants alike have begun to say that Sweden doesn’t feel like Sweden anymore. But now, some people, fed up with what they see as the authorities’ inaction, have taken matters into their own hands. They have begun to organise groups with names like ‘The Soldiers of Odin’ to patrol the country’s most blighted neighbourhoods. They are sometimes called vigilantes or racists, but the groups say they want the freedom to live in their own country as it was before the migrant crisis began.
