    Twenty Letters To A Friend

    February 6,
    After reading Rosemary Sullivan’s brilliant biography, titled “Stalin’s Daughter”, I wanted to read the two books written by Svetlana herself to get a more composite picture of her life. “Twenty Letters to a Friend” is her first book, written in , when she was still living in Moscow. She got the Indian ambassador to the USSR, Mr. T. N. Kaul, to smuggle it out of the Soviet Union in his diplomatic pouch. It is a memoir, structured as letters to a friend (later revealed as the physicist and friend, Fyodor Volkenstein), about the first thirty-seven years of her life. It covers her life as Stalin’s daughter, and his extended families through his two marriages to Katya Svanidze and Nadya Alliluyeva. Svetlana writes about her mother Nadya Alliluyeva, her aunts, uncles and cousins from Georgia, about her life in the Kremlin and life in Moscow. It is an intimate personal journey through her complex young life among formidable figures of twentieth century Soviet history. There are deep reflections on her life and that of others who affected her. We get a picture of how the Soviet power elite lived and how it alienated Svetlana right from her childhood. Svetlana and her children received loving support from the Alliluyev and Svanidze families. T

Revealed here for the first time, the many lives of Josef Stalin's daughter form a riveting portrait of a woman who fled halfway around the world to escape her birthright. Protected from the mass starvation and murder her father inflicted upon Russian citizens, Svetlana was not immune to tragedy.

After her father's death, Svetlana shocked the world by defecting to the United States at the height of the Cold War¢•leaving behind two children. There, she found only more heartbreak. She married Wesley Peters, a member of Frank Lloyd Wright's inner circle, and they had a child. But the marriage disintegrated. No matter how much
