I don't think many people see it as an immediate threat. But between unpredictable American policies affecting regional politics or the global economy, the Chinese bullying countries like Norway and the Russians trying to affect politics in other countries this could all change relatively quickly.

I don't see Russia as a threat to the entire Sweden. I do, however, consider Russia a threat to some key locations like Gotland. But as far as threats go, I consider Russia to be Sweden's greatest threat, even if that threat is rather small.
Denmark had the strategically well located island of Bornholm occupied by the soviets after the end of the 2nd world. But most Danes today would see the chances of a Russian invasion more remote than ever.
We are a NATO member I suppose that makes a big difference.
