#1 I think the first clue was the crudely painted "Police" on the side of the offending boat. My online Swedish dictionary says the proper word would have been "Polis" But then the Russians might not have known that.

#5 Correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't Sweden have a Pirate Party? Maybe they are trying to fundraise.
