Stalin's Daughter : Never Trusted by ANYONE !

The resting place of threads that were very valid in 2004, but not so much in 2024. Basically this is a giant historical archive.

Stalin's Daughter : Never Trusted by ANYONE !

Post by Barbara »

Pictures didn't turn out, but there may be a stray caption in the text which I left in because it's informative.
The illustrations are worth a look to bring out the historic nature of her story.
Clearly a terribly sad, confused soul who seemed to display many symptoms of serious behavioral disorders.
Would be interesting spiritual study to see whether this mental instability came from her own self, or from her upbringing and surroundings?

This is the first time I have noticed that she disliked Russia and Russian language - identifying as Georgian.
But was this just a passing whim or a lifelong idea ?


Revealed: Stalin's only daughter was closely monitored by FBI after she denounced father's reign of terror and defected to U.S.

By Associated Press
19 November 2012

Newly declassified documents show the FBI kept close tabs on Soviet dictator Josef Stalin's only daughter after her high-profile defection to the United States in 1967.

The documents show the agency was gathering details from informants on how Lana Peters' arrival was affecting international relations at that time. She was known as Svetlana Alliluyeva before her defection.

Did Lana die a Christian death?
There was no indication in this news article.

Lord have mercy.

Lord Jesus Christ, have mercy on me a sinner.

Such a tragedy. A beautiful child destroyed by her circumstances and never able to recover. She never had enough faith to have spiritual strength. Too much of Stalin's sins infected her soul. She just didn't have enough faith to break away.

Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a right spirit within me. (Ps. 50)

Yes, Joanna, she never had a chance like simpler folk who have more spiritual family or relatives. How sad for the child.
