Ulf Adelsohn (1941) is a Swedish politician, was the leader
of the Moderate Party from 1981 to 1986 and Governor of Stockholm County from
1992 to 2001. He was a member of the Riksdag from 1982 to 1988 and served as
Chairman of the Board of SJ AB 2001–2011, from where he resigned due to
quarrels with the Reinfeldt cabinet on its railway deregulation policies.
Adelsohn studied law at Stockholm University. He was the
chair of the Confederation of Swedish Conservative and Liberal Students,
opposed the occupation of the Student Union Building in Stockholm in 1968 and
was a co-founder of Borgerliga Studenter – Opposition '68 later in the same
year.
His paternal grandparents were Polish Jews and his mother
was of Swedish descent. On the side of his mother, he is a descendant
(great-great-great-great-grandson) of Jacob Johan Anckarström; the assassin of
Gustav III who was convicted for regicide and executed.
