metadata.name: dc.description.abstract
metadata.value: The article reconstructs lives of several Russian-language interpreters acting in Sweden during
  the reign of Gustav I Vasa (1523–1560) on the basis of Swedish and Russian archival sources.
  The socio-professional group of Russian-language interpreters (ryssetolkar) has been well
  known in Sweden since late 16th century, and its best times (mainly in the 17th century) are
  thoroughly studied by the Finnish historian Kari Tarkiainen. The authors suggest that the
  origins of this group should be sought in late 1530s — early 1540s, and that the Hanseatic
  environment might have played a part in this process at its earliest stage because the first interpreters
  known to us by names, Albrecht Tolck and Larens van Värnen, seem to have been of
  German origin, although we know very little of them. Three other ryssetolkar — Michel Andersson,
  Hans Larsson Skalm, and especially Bertil Jöransson (Jörensson, Göransson) — are
  somewhat better known. The authors conclude that close connections to Finland, especially
  to the castle of Viborg (Fin. Viipuri, Rus. Vyborg), were typical of the members of this socio-
  professional group at the very initial phase already. In addition, the sources of the period
  in question show that prospective interpreters could go to Russia to study Russian and that
  they sometimes were bound by family ties. The two latter features were not so prominent in
  the first half of the 16th century, but they would become very typical of the ryssetolkar community
  later on.
