The Untold Story of Stalin's Daughter: Svetlana Alliluyeva | A Riveting Documentary

[@GeorgeTennesseeWiseman]

What a curse to be related to him, be close to him, or even to come to his attention. Poor Svetlana, her mother, and brothers. All the people whose lives he wrecked or ended. That number would be in the millions or tens of millions I guess. Too much to comprehend. There's little joy to be found in this story, but at least people were kind to her during her life.

[@donjoaoresort8565]

Wiseman - I suggest you to study Stalin over a couple of years.

[@cindymaceda2999]

She could not overcome her origin. Her unhappy childhood. Her mother’s suicide. Khrushchev’s son and granddaughter did because Khrushchev attempted to open the USSR’s eyes to Stalin’s brutality even though he was later put to pasture. For that we can thank Nikita. His descendants survived because of that. 😊

This complex and gripping story makes me wonder, why is it that the world's tv stories are now full of goo garr junk tv,when they have the ability to compose intelligent stories like this one.Well done documentary team.

I knew Stalin was a monster. This documentary just added to the list of cruel he was. Spared no one, not even his family.

[@nicolasdelaforge7420]

surely, this was the most depraved, deranged, criminally insane gang that's ever gathered together.

[@BrianFoster-ji9fp]

I feel so for her. Her father wasn't her fault. I find it fascinating how one person can cause so much grief. It's a testament to human hypnotism. Thank you.

Am convinced to watch and understand about Stalin's daughter

[@Simrata_]

That poor woman….. this was an incredible documentary ❤ Thank you ❤

[@Alsatiagent-zu1rx]

And she must suspect her angry drunken father of shooting her mother in the temple. A suicide seems very unlikely. The man was a beast.

My father was Jewish and a paratrooper in WW2. He was a political man and he thought Stalin was worse than Hitler.

[@sararichardson737]

That’s saying something

[@stephenedlin3246]

He was worse than Hitler.But there are still Russians who think he had to be the hard man,the European centric world will never understand Russia.

[@jacquetracy3194]

Thank you for sharing this story with us. Now I know what happened to her. She was my mother's age. RIP dear lady.❤

[@maryjanewilliams6239]

If I only could have met her. She died in Wisconsin only a few hours away from where I was living at the time.

[@debrakleid5752]

I can’t imagine living in the USSR during that time. Stalin was awful to his sons but adored his daughter which was surprising. He even had family members arrested

[@faithfulservantofchrist9876]

Right, Stalin suffered from extreme paranoia, that's why he had so many killed or arrested. I'm not a doctor but I would say his daughter has the same mental illness. Mental illness is usually passed on and if Stalin wasn't mentally ill than really who is?

[@StekTM1]

It was better than modern day Russia

[@hereitis.2587]

Fathers only adoring their daughters is creepy.

[@j.dunlop8295]

Stalin, Hitler and Mao had in common, that their father's beat them so bad they were hospitalized! (The childhood, makes the man!)

[@jeandellaquila8199]

What you missed was that a """"""""""PRINCESS" says it all..reference the hyena where a princess was raised at the expense of all siblings..you have only SVETLANAs side not her mother, family.446

[@sailendrayalamanchili]

A tragic life led by a warm, sensitive and emotional human being, who had to live in the shadow of her terrible father till she died. Both the American and Soviet govt., used her for their own propaganda and would not leave her alone. Her heart was torn apart by her love for her motherland and her aversion for the soviet system of essentially creating a prison for all their citizens. May she rest in peace. I am from India.

[@jvitiumig3259]

The way Stalin treated ukrainians and others nationalities i don't blame them for switching sides

[@nicolasdelaforge7420]

Stalin wasn't Russian, his entourage wasn't Russian; Krushtchev was Ukrainian - he's the one who gifted Crimean to Ukraine; Breznev was from somewhere else. There were jews and peoples from surrounding republics throughout the Soviet era in charge of Russia. Even today's hugest propagandist Simonian is from some republic - not Russian. How did this happen? If only kerensky had acted sooner... maybe...

[@Jedi_Pimp]

He treated Russian like a mule

[@kerimaabu1359]

Thank you so much for this documentary, it was very interesting.

[@h.e.hazelhorst9838]

There’s a very detailed book, ‘The court of the red tsar’ by Simon Sebag Montefiore, particularly on the period following the death of Nadeszhda. The writer studied the archives during the ‘90s and talked to numerous survivors. A must read if you’re interested in the subject. The archives have been closed by Putin.
