Well, Russian (and older Soviet) sub technology was always fairly good.

Dangerous as hell for the sailors, but pretty good at infiltrating and evading.

And the Soviet navy spent a lot of time sneaking around in Swedish waters back in the "old days." The only time Sweden caught one was when it screwed up and ran aground.
Now that Putin is flexing his muscles (figuratively speaking), it's not surprising that they are back up to their old tricks.

it works both ways :)

one of our sub commandres got his golden star (top military decoration in Russia) for sneaking into San-Francisco harbour couple of years ago :)

Both Russian and American submariners well respect each other. At least that's the impression I have, behing an underwater vehicle/robotics and commercial diving specialist.

I deeply respect any seamen of any nation. Especially submariners.

yes, I've seen the device in FSB museum. :)
it is neat, even had a nuclear power source.

but I personally like 'Operation Jennifer' more, when US Navy recovered our DISSUB (at least part of it, hull broke during recovery).
Brilliant engineering.

And points for proper burial ceremony for found Soviet sailors. Sea chivalry at its best.
