The basis of this analysis is press coverage, academic articles and studies (in paper and electronic versions) on, among other things, the position of representatives of the political elite of the Kingdom of Sweden, media people, public servants, Swedes who have encountered the effects of the refugee crisis after 2015 and the uncontrolled influx of immigrants (especially from the Islamic world). The article sought to answer the following research questions: 1. what political forces in Sweden supported the influx of immigrants to Sweden after 2015, and what was reflected in the political and media discourse; 2. what were and are the attitudes of Swedish natives toward refugees and immigrants; 3. what factors influenced media coverage of the effects of the refugee crisis in selected Swedish cities in 2016-2017? In seeking to answer the above questions, the following research methods were used: case study, comparative, decision-making, institutional-legal and analysis. The analysis proved that the massive influx of immigrants and refugees has changed the sense of security of Swedish citizens after 2015.
