I have a flight from Istanbul (Turkey) to Saint Petersburg in Russia. I have two nationalities

I booked my ticket on my Syrian passport because I entered Turkey with it, and I will carry my Russian passport with me to enter Russia.

My flight is from Istanbul to Stockholm then after 3 hours I will change the plan to heading to Saint Petersburg.

Shall I need a transit visa for three hours in Stockholm?

According to Timatic, you don't need a transit visa because you transit to another country:

Visa required, except for holders of a valid "D" visa issued by another Schengen Member State For details, click here . TWOV (Transit Without Visa): Visa required, except for Holders of onward tickets transiting

For details, click here on the same calendar day *Note: TWOV is not possible when arriving from a non-Schengen Member State AND departing to a Schengen Member State For details, click here

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.
