Nike Wagner then analyzes in turn her grandmother Winifred's relationship to Hitler, which she suggests had mystical, religious, erotic, and childlike dimensions that the grandmother could not possibly have fathomed or understood as such and that her enthusiasm for National Socialism had its origins in the antisemitic nationalism of her adoptive parents and in her subsequent marriage into the Wagner family with its inward arrogant elitism and its outwardly directed chauvinistic Wagnerism (p. 192). Wagner in the Soviet Union under Stalin is analyzed by Dorthea Redepenning, who concludes that Wagner performances and Wagner criticism typically were produced on orders from on high, sometimes for specific foreign policy reasons such as in regard to the non-aggression pact with Nazi Germany, but otherwise rather in the service of a sort of cultural imperialism, to show that the Soviet Union cultivated the great art of all times and all countries (p. 245).
