SVT’s giant investment in Swedish history – where the original Swedes look like Arabs and Africans – has prompted a series of negative articles in foreign mainstream media. Some wonder if Swedes believe their state propaganda or take it with a grain of salt – like in the Soviet Union.
Historien om Sverige is broadcast this autumn on Sweden’s tax-financed state television company Sveriges Television AB (SVT) after almost three years of production. But already after the first episode, the series arouses reactions abroad, where many believe that the production crosses the line in its eagerness to be politically correct.
In the series, the rise of the Swedish people is depicted as a result of ethnic groups played by Arabs and Africans meeting in the Nordic country and mixing with each other. To justify this, SVT refers to brand new research which states that the population of Scandinavia over 10,000 years ago seems to have had a slightly darker skin color than we have today.
“Backlash for TV series about Swedish history with black actors” reads the title of an article about the event that respected Newsweek has published this week.
The journal writes:
“However, criticism has followed the project due to the prominence of black and Middle Eastern actors in the show’s trailers. Some argue that their prominence is part of a revisionist historiography that does not follow real science or history, and some see it as they wanted to give a boot to white Europeans of Nordic descent”.
In the reader comments, many ask how a production like this is actually received by the Swedish people.
“Do they really believe this?” asks an X user at the anti-establishment organization Wall Street Silver.
In the comments, many are curious as to whether it is like in the Soviet Union in Sweden, where most people are considered to have been skeptical of the official propaganda, but often did not say much about it.
Newsweek quotes the former Swedish member of parliament, Jeff Ahl, who states that the project constitutes a “full-on falsification of history” and is a product of the politically correct movement taking over all institutions of so-called higher education in Sweden.
“The cultural Marxist poison must be purged from our ‘universities’. They have turned into propaganda factories rather than institutions of learning,” states Ahl in a comment reproduced in Newsweek.
Newsweek also refers to the Swedish public’s comments on X, where the theme is often that the Arab-African population shown in the program “hardly constitutes Sweden’s past, you can be its future”.
