Answer 2
You do not need a transit visa in Stockholm as either Russian or Syrian citizens so you can show either passport.
Sweden is part of the Schengen area and Syrians citizens do require an airport transit visa in many Schengen countries, but not Sweden. Russian citizens flying from Turkey also require an airport transit visa in France but can transit visa free everywhere else.
