preface
When Stalin was forty-seven years old, he had a daughter whom he called his mistress and loved her at all times. He named his daughter Svetlana, the little princess famous for her father's favor, and the children born in those years were named Svetlana by their parents.
Stalin, who had a mixed reputation in history, was also a mixed-ranking man in his daughter's heart. The Red Princess was dissatisfied with her father's strict discipline and had great differences with her father on the concept of life, which led to the death of her father, Svetlana bid farewell to her homeland in a decisive way, away from the homeland where her father was buried, and went to the United States.
01
Svetlana was born pampered, and we can see from her name that Sterling, the father, had an indescribable affection for his daughter that the whole country knew.
Stalin's influence on the Soviet Union was enormous, and as a leader with a distinct style, the style of his work was brought to the family. Despite his busy schedule, Stalin had strict rules about his wife's dress. In other aspects of her life, this lady is also difficult to breathe under her husband's high-pressure control.
So, when Svetlana was six years old, her mother committed suicide by drinking a bullet. She did not have much affection for her mother, and in her life there were many traces of her father, but her mother's death was also a reason for her rebellion against her father.
In his letter to his daughter, Sterling called the girl in shorts a prostitute, and Svetlana, who wore shorts at summer camp, was verbally shocked by her father for this incident. Svetlana, who was pampered since childhood, had a hard time accepting her father's discipline after she grew up with her own thinking.
02
The problem of the concept of life is only the smallest of the differences between father and daughter. Unlike her father's deep understanding of Marxism, Svetlana was faced with many socialist works. She herself resisted reading such professional books. Her father's request led her to resist even more.
So much so that in the party entrance examination, the results were not passed. Stalin's face was disgraced by this incident, and the daughter of the supreme leader of the Soviet Union could not join the Communist Party. Svetlana had many differences in thinking with her father, which Stalin was not aware of, and because of his favor, his daughter was not afraid of her father's coercion.
Being restrained in life was not the biggest reason Svetlana rebelled against her father. What had the greatest influence on Svetlana was her father's control over her marriage.
Her first love was a writer of Jewish descent in her forties. Age was an issue, the question of descent was even greater, and Stalin could not have been satisfied with his daughter's first love. The Jewish writer, Kapler, was imprisoned for rushing to take a shot at the daughter of the supreme leader of the Soviet Union.
Svetlana was dissatisfied with her father, but her first husband was equally dissatisfied with him. She was a college classmate and was also of Jewish descent. But Stalin had no choice. She gave birth to a son after marriage, but the marriage lasted only two years, and the original intention of the public was to disagree. There is also the credit of Stalin.
The second marriage was arranged by Stalin, the son of a central official. Father was satisfied, but Svetlana was not pleased. She gave birth to a daughter after marriage, and the marriage was also very short-lived. Later, because of her defection, her daughter was very dissatisfied with her.
03
The immediate cause of Svetlana's defection was her third marriage. A Communist Party of India came to the Soviet Union for medical treatment. The Indian, Singh, has a certain status in India. Although Stalin had died by this time, Khrushchev, the ruler of the Soviet Union, was not satisfied with the red princess's husband.
The official cause of Singh's death is due to illness. But Svetlana didn't approve. After her husband's death, Svetlana went through a lot of maneuvering to return her husband's ashes to India.
But when she arrived in Svetlana, India, she went to the U.S. Embassy and applied for political asylum. After verifying Svetlana's identity, the United States was pleased to welcome the princess to the United States without the slightest hesitation. The plane quickly took off in Switzerland to transfer to New York. This was a perfect opportunity to attack the Soviet Union, and the Red Princess was merciless in attacking her country and father.
It was not until later in life that Svetlana admitted that her father loved her. I also recognize my mistakes and do not understand my father.
epilogue
As a much-loved princess, her father's greatest mistake was not to provide her with the power to be as wayward as ever. In the context of the times, Svetlana could not have had the happy life she wanted.
