 == Russian selling slaves to the Turks? == 

 ""Sultan Ahmet III, as gesture to the King, had bought some of the Swedish women and children put up for sale by the Russians and turned them over to the Swedes, thus further strengthening the growing community of Caroleans."" 
 Is there any source for this?  I've never heard of or read anything which indicated that Russia was into the slave trade, much less with the Turks, whom they were at war with."
