In Soviet Russia, there were many women named Catherine, just like the Chinese woman named Li Na, there are as many as cattle hair. For example, the female emperor in Russian history, the woman became the tsar, and was revered as the emperor, what a tough woman! Another example is Putin's daughter, also known as Catherine.
Catherine today is Stalin's mother, an incomparably tough woman who gave birth to the fierce stalin for mankind, and at the same time a woman with a bitter fate. Stalin's father was a poor ghost and an alcoholic, grumpy and recourse to domestic violence at every turn.
Stalin as a child was unhappy, and his mother, Catherine, was of course even more unhappy. Catherine gave birth to three children in a row and did not survive until she gave birth to a fourth, Stalin. It can be seen that Stalin's life is hard.
Her husband was hacked to death for drinking, and Catherine pinned all her hopes on her son. But this son disappointed her, and her relationship with his son was very cold, cold to the point of impersonality.
The unfortunate life made Catherine a devout Orthodox Christian, so she hoped that her son would become a priest, so that she would feel incomparably glorious and proud. Unexpectedly, Stalin embarked on the revolutionary road and eventually became the supreme leader of the Soviet Union.
Stalin worked outside for many years to carry out the revolution, and Catherine lived alone in her old home. Occasionally Stalin would come back to visit his mother, but soon left. Catherine had no culture or even Russian, and she was unable to communicate with her son.
In 1935, Stalin returned to his hometown in Georgia to visit his mother, and mother and son had not seen each other for 8 years. Afterwards, Catherine coldly told reporters that no one expected him (son Stalin) to return, and did not say a word beforehand.
After a few years, Stalin returned. Catherine recalled that the door opened and I saw him coming toward me, and he kissed me and I kissed him. It can be seen that the relationship between mother and son is indifferent, catherine lives an almost isolated life in the countryside, he does not pay attention to what his son is doing, nor does he know what he is doing.
The revolution was victorious, Stalin once took his mother to Moscow, tried to do his filial piety, did not expect catherine to live soon, she was going to leave, she was not accustomed to life here, insisted on returning to her hometown in Georgia, living her own peaceful and idyllic life, and never wanted to go to Moscow again.
Before Catherine's death, her son Stalin came to her for the last time. Catherine asked, what position are you in now? Stalin replied proudly, General Secretary of the CPSU. Catherine didn't understand what that meant.
Stalin explained, do you remember the previous Tsars? I am now basically the tsar of the past, and I am the supreme leader of the entire Soviet Union. Catherine was not at all interested in these. In particular, she hated the Tsar, who had been their family's nightmare, and Stalin had said that he was the equivalent of the Tsar. Catherine sighed and said, "Oh, it's a pity you didn't become a priest."
Perhaps Stalin saved the whole Soviet Union, and even the whole world, but failed his mother. A mother's lifelong desire is for her son to be a priest, and if that is the case, there will be more communication and happier between mother and son.
Although her son has achieved remarkable achievements, Catherine does not think anything of it, she is disappointed in her son, and she is not willing to enjoy the glory and wealth of her son. Such a mother is also awe-inspiring.
