They had a difficult life.
Children do not choose parents, and certainly children should not be held responsible for their actions. Growing up in a privileged society, the offspring of Joseph Stalin could not boast of a special relationship to himself: the great dictator to give them the same laws that the majority of the population of the USSR. Yakov, Vasily and Svetlana spent quite a miserable life under the scrutiny of the cold brutality of Joseph Stalin.
Yakov Dzhugashvili
Stalin was not experiencing warm feelings to the eldest son. He did not barter prisoners from Nazi captivity, and generally treated him with disapproval, despite the fact that Jacob showed himself a brave and intelligent commander. The eldest son of Stalin and died in captivity, the usual security guard shot while trying to escape.
Svetlana Alliluyeva
In late 1942, the young daughter of the chief fell in love with a middle-aged honored Director, Alexei Yakovlevich Kapler. Year endured Stalin these relationships, and then exiled Coupler in Vorkuta. In 1948 freed the artist newly arrived in Moscow and again received the link this time in a correctional camp INTA.
Vasily Stalin
Basil has grown a real Prince. After the prisoner was Yakov, Stalin banned the second son sorties were afraid to remain without an heir. But here, the leader did not make any concessions, punishing the beloved son for the slightest mistakes. The last time Vasily Stalin was reduced to the ranks for something that is organized “fishing” planes: when you reset the shells in the lake killed one of the best pilots of the regiment and chief engineer of armament.
