In peaceable Sweden, authorities are readying schoolchildren and adults for the kind of crisis that seemed unthinkable a decade ago: a military invasion by Russia.

The U.S. and its allies in Europe see an invasion by Moscow as less likely than during the Cold War, when citizens and companies were more accustomed to taking a role in defending their countries.

That has alerted governments, in particular in smaller countries close to Russia, to the need to make their economies and societies more resilient.

“There is a blurred line between peace and war, and we see we are challenged in more domains and adversaries using a wide range of tools: disinformation, cyberattacks, vulnerabilities in critical infrastructure,” the secretary-general of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, Jens Stoltenberg, said recently., Sweden dusted off and modernized Cold War-era plans called “Total Defense” for the whole of society to prepare to resist an invader.
