What survived Stalin's wife

In 1909, Stalin's first wife had died - Ekaterina Svanidze.This death was a great loss for him.Not prone to the expression of emotions, and even more so to the colorful figure of speech is no longer a young revolutionary, he said of the cold stone, which came into his heart.Who knows what would have developed the world's history, if this icy and hard object pressed to the chest not the future leader of the largest country in the world?However, the subjunctive this alien science.

from his beloved wife was the son of Jacob, still a baby.Educating father was engaged once, he found other things to do.The boy grew up with his grandmother, his mother Catherine (Kato) in Tbilisi, and then studied in Moscow - the first in school and then in college, at the Electrical Engineering.The relationship between father and son is difficult to describe the materials, testifying about them, it remained very small.Evidence suggests an unsuccessful attempt to commit suicide because of unrequited love.Shot in the chest was angrily condemned the father of Jacob, he was actually denied by the house.

Loved whether the Soviet dictator's eldest son, is hard to say.The whole country admired the courage of Stalin refused to save taken prisoner near Vitebsk senior lieutenant Dzhugashvili and virtually obrekshego him to death.On the other hand, the years after the death of the son of the head of the world communist movement was wearing a black T-shirt under a tunic as a sign of mourning, hidden as much in his life.

Stalin's second wife, Nadezhda Alliluyeva, was fifteen years younger than her husband.The daughter of a professional revolutionary, she was captivated by the romantic way a fighter, after the February Revolution returned from exile.She was only sixteen, and the future Secretary-General of the Central Committee of the CPSU (b) - Thirty-eight.

active lifestyle, inexperience, naivete and a penchant for revolutionary romanticism irritated husband, striving for power and authority.Personal

her modesty to the extreme - many colleagues and heads of organizations, which worked Nadezhda Alliluyeva, I did not even know that she was the wife of Stalin.She even wanted to expel from the party in 1921, accusing it of passivity and anarcho-syndicalism (then it was fashionable all the "isms" person to hang), but my husband intervened.But Nadia is not working anywhere, and at the secretariat of Lenin, "Pravda" and the wording "Revolution and Culture", and even studied at the Industrial Academy.There is also no teachers nor the students knew that with them the wife of Stalin.

They had two children, a son Basil in 1921, and daughter Svetlana in 1926.We know about the life of the second family of Joseph Vissarionovich much more than on the first.This was made possible thanks to the book "Twenty Letters to a Friend," published in 1967 in the West.The daughter of the Kremlin dictator opened many secrets and described in detail his life.

Stalin's second wife committed suicide under mysterious circumstances after a banquet at Voroshilov XV on the occasion of the anniversary of the October Revolution.At the table, my husband behaved rudely, and perhaps this has provoked suicide.Version of events was somewhat of involvement Nadezhda Alliluyeva anti-government conspiracy to constant excruciating migraines, but do not know the truth.

At the grave of Stalin's wife erected a monument, a very beautiful and expressive.Besides the name, surname and date on it indicated the party affiliation, "a member of the CPSU (b)."
