Krátky popis
A painstakingly researched, revelatory biography of Svetlana
Stalin, a woman fated to live her life in the shadow of one of
history's most monstrous dictators - her father, Josef Stalin. Born
in the early years of the Soviet Union, Svetlana Stalin spent her
youth inside the walls of the Kremlin. Communist Party privilege
protected her from the mass starvation and purges that haunted
Russia, but she did not escape tragedy – the loss of everyone she
loved, including her mother, two brothers, aunts and uncles, and a
lover twice her age, deliberately exiled to Siberia by her father.
As she gradually learned about the extent of her father's brutality
after his death, Svetlana could no longer keep quiet and in 1967
shocked the world by defecting to the United States – leaving her
two children behind. But although she was never a part of her
father's regime, she could not escape his legacy. Her life in
America was fractured, she moved frequently, married disastrously,
shunned other Russian exiles, and ultimately died in poverty in
Spring Green, Wisconsin. With access to KGB, CIA, and Soviet
government archives, as well as the close cooperation of Svetlana's
daughter, Rosemary Sullivan pieces together Svetlana's incredible
life in a masterful account of unprecedented intimacy. Epic in
scope, it's a revolutionary biography of a woman doomed to be a
political prisoner of her father's name. Sullivan explores a
complicated character in her broader context without ever losing
sight of her powerfully human story, in the process opening a
closed, brutal world that continues to fascinate us.
