Hint: Don, Dnieper, and Dvina are the main rivers of Europe but mostly flow through or originate in Russia.

Complete answer:
Scandinavian countries are Denmark, Norway and Sweden. But sometimes because of their historical relations Iceland, Finland, are also included in Scandinavia, with the three Scandinavian countries.

The Don is the fifth-longest river in Europe. Flowing from Central Russia to the Sea of Azov in Southern Russia, its basin is between the Dnieper basin to the west, the lower Volga basin immediately to the east, and the Oka basin to the north.
The Dnieper is an important river of Europe, rising and flowing within the Valdai Hills near Smolensk, Russia, before flowing through Belarus and Ukraine to the Black ocean.
The Northern Dvina is a river that flows in northern Russia through the Vologda Oblast and Arkhangelsk Oblast into the Dvina Bay of the White ocean.

Therefore Don, Dnieper and Dvina are the main rivers of Europe but mostly flow through or originate in Russia and that they don't flow through any of the Scandinavian rivers.

Note: The Klarälven is a river that begins flowing from Lake Rogen which then flows through Norway and Sweden and passes into Sweden's largest lake, Vänern, from where it flows out known as Göta älv. Glomma is the longest river in Scandinavia, its chief tributaries are the Atna,Rena, and Verma. Don, Dnieper and Dvina are not Scandinavia rivers.
