Kristian Gerner (Swedish pronunciation: [krɪˈɧanː ɡæːɳɛr]; 25 May 1942 – 2 April 2026) was a Swedish historian, author and expert on Eastern Europe who was Professor of History at Lund University (from 2002). From 1994 to 2002, he was Professor of Eastern European History and Culture, also at Uppsala University. Gerner earned his doctorate at Lund in 1984. Gerner was, until his death, a board member of the Institute for Information on the Crimes of Communism. On 4 December 2013, in the Swedish newspaper Aftonbladet, he commented on a clip broadcast on Russian state television where a Swedish children's programme was used as an example, saying that he recognized the arguments from Russian propaganda, calling them sexually hostile and homophobic, and also saying that they represented a totally heinous atmosphere pursued by the Putin leadership in tight coalition with the Russian Orthodox church. Gerner died on 2 April 2026, at the age of 83.
