DISINFO: Ingmar Bergman's nazism is totally contrary to the contemporary degeneration

SUMMARY

Ingmar Bergman’s creation can be seen as National Socialist down to its nuances and his vision of the world is therefore totally contrary to that of our contemporary universe of the degeneration.

RESPONSE

An unfounded claim on the world-famous Swedish film-director Ingmar Bergman's oeuvre as a manifestation of Nazi ideals, as contrasted against "contemporary degeneration".

Bergman was candid with his boyhood fascination for Hitler, whom he saw at a public rally in Germany at the age of 16. As the truth about the Nazi death camps was revealed, Bergman, in his own words, "was ripped of his innocence".

Bergman rarely expressed political views, but in an open letter after a conflict with the Swedish tax authorities, he described himself as a "staunch Social-Democrat". His production focuses on "our collective inability to communicate with each other".

The above article is an example of a pro-Kremlin outlet, praising fascim and nazism. Similar cases can be found here and here.
