In the month of August Swedes have Kraftskivor . What is this ?
In a nationalist context , the ethnic Swedes living outside Sweden are sometimes called ' East - Swedes ' ( in Swedish : " östsvenskar " ) , to distinguish them from the ethnic Swedes living in Sweden proper , called " rikssvenskar " or " västsvenskar " ( ' Western - Swedes ' ) , reflecting irredentist sentiments .
