Carl-Henrik "C.-H." Hermansson (14 December 1917 – 26 July 2016)[1] was a Swedish politician who served as chairman of the Communist Party of Sweden (during his leadership renamed the Left Party – Communists) from 1964 to 1975 and member of parliament from 1963 to 1985. He was a major force in redirecting Left Party policies away from Moscow loyalism towards Eurocommunism and Scandinavian Popular Socialism.[2] He wrote several books regarding capitalism and the owners of the large corporations, as well as on communists and the policies of the left.[citation needed]
At the time of Joseph Stalin's death in 1953, Hermansson praised Stalin as a brilliant scientist and a great leader. He subsequently regretted this and referred to his own words about Stalin as reprehensible.[3]
