Rolf Stellan Arno Bojerud (born August 5, 1944 – died July 19, 2015) was a Swedish military expert and politician. He was known for his work as a historian and for serving in the Swedish Parliament, called the Riksdag, as a member of the Sweden Democrats party.
About Stellan Bojerud
Stellan Bojerud joined the Swedish Army in the 1960s. He started as a signal trooper, working with communications. By 1990, he had risen through the ranks to become a lieutenant colonel. This is a high rank in the army.
His Work in the Military and as a Historian
In 1993, Bojerud became the head of the local defense section in Stockholm. Later, from 1999 to 2002, he was a main teacher of military history. He also led the Military History Department at the Swedish Defence University. He retired from the military in 2003.
Stellan Bojerud was also a talented writer and historian. He wrote about the Spanish Civil War and the history of the Swedish navy. He was one of the writers who used the pen name Harry Winter. Under this name, he helped write books like Operation Garbo I–III. These books told fictional stories about a Soviet invasion of Sweden. He also wrote articles about military topics for the Svenska Dagbladet newspaper.
His Political Journey
Before joining the Sweden Democrats, Bojerud was a member of other political parties. He was part of the Moderate Party and the Centre Party. He also served on the local council in Sundbyberg for 20 years.
In 2009, he joined the Sweden Democrats. He did this because he disagreed with the choice of Sten Tolgfors as Sweden's defense minister. In the 2010 election, he was a candidate for the Sweden Democrats. He became a member of Parliament (an MP) in 2010. He filled in for another MP, Julia Kronlid, while she was away. Later, in 2012, he became a full-time MP after another member, William Petzäll, passed away.
Stellan Bojerud passed away in 2015 at the age of 70. His son, Fredrik Bojerud, is also involved in politics.
