description: "Sven Ulric Adalvard Palme was a Swedish historian and professor at Stockholm University. He was the son of the historian Olof Palme (1884–1918) and Ola Palme (1888–1982). His historical research was broad, from Swedish Middle Age to modern political history. The political history was his focus, concentrating on political parties, decision-making processes and key actors in these processes. ¶ In the 1930s he was active in the conservative political debate. But eventually he distanced himself from the conservative ideas and became closer to the Social Democratic tradition. He was contrary to common views of historians at that time, often\nclaiming that many historians did not recognize the truth about historical figures\nwho were often, in his opinion, more villains than heroes."
