520 2 "The award-winning author of Villa Air-Bel returns with 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. Illustrated with photographs"--|cProvided by
