What do you think would have happened if Sweden swedicized Estonia they controlled for more 152 years and swedish was widely accepted by Estonians giving their history with other empires

There were even swedish settlers
Russians stole it away so I don't think it would matter.

Do you think if swedes would have warded off the Russian swedization process would have started like in Prussia?

Estonians screech autistically when they find out their "Swedish" ancestors came from Finland
They consider anything related to Finland to be "inferior Mongol shit"
Lovely neighbours aren't they?

I think it would be impossible to ward off Russia forever. Their massive population means they could rebuild their army whenever they want unlike us, and Peter I really wanted his warm port to the west.
Anyways I don't really know. I don't think you would have to, most of the people in power in Estonia and Livonia were German nobles from the teutonic days. Though at least I think they would be better off, since Karl XI had worked to increase rights of peasants in Sweden, and this basically reversed when Russia took control.
