The Swedes developed it but it's of almost certainly little actual combat value as it bleeds off an enormous amount of energy and generally requires high engine power during the course of the manoeuver, meaning a huge infrared signature.
It came to public attention when Soviet pilots demonstrated it in Su-27s in the late 80s. It's not clear if the Russians learnt it from watching the Swedes, from Arab air forces (who also experimented with it) or just developed it themselves.
