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 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.

Incredible Read - Gripping. If it actually didn't happen you wouldn't believe this story. From the beginning, the reader feels they are observing history - picturing a young girl in the palaces of the tsars, finding out exactly who her father is / was; joys and heartaches. Running from her history and the cast of characters along the way - a gripping story - well written and documented. This book has something for everyone; biography, history, love, tragedy, suspense - a great read.

A real look into the workings of the USSR. A tragic story of a woman lost between two worlds and unable to find her way. However, her knowledge and acumen when relating to the inner workings of the Soviet Union and now Russia are very prescient these days. Things have not really changed there and unfortunately the tech oligarchs here are aiding and abetting this repressive regime who even now are trying to sully the Ukraine’s people by spreading misinformation telling us that they are bombing themselves and blaming Russia…a very typical move…this book helps Americans understand a bit more how the soviets work.

Astounding.. This book is a well-written, compelling story about the tragedy of birth, circumstance, and history. Stalin's daughter is a tragic figure in a world that could have celebrated her. Her story is a reminder to us about how we carry our genetics, history, and culture with us, no matter what.
