Svetlana was a Soviet celebrity as a child - her defection as an adult embarrassed the Communist party

Quote

Svetlana Alliluyeva, also known as Lana Peters, died of colon cancer at a care home in the state of Wisconsin last Tuesday, officials say.

Her defection from the Soviet Union in 1967 was a propaganda coup for the US. She wrote four books, including two best-selling memoirs.

But she said she could not escape the shadow of her father.

But her story is fascinating ..

Quote

Josef Stalin’s only daughter, the former Svetlana Alliluyeva, who died of colon cancer in the United States last week, created international headlines when she defected from the Soviet Union in 1967 and inflicted much embarrassment upon the Russian Communist Party.

However, what some may not know is that she actually first defected in India.

While in Russia, Svetlana had fallen in love with Brajesh Singh, an Indian Communist in Moscow. She eventually became his common-law wife in 1964 (although the two never officially married).

Prior to that Svetlana had bad luck with husbands. Against her father’s wishes, at the age of 18 she married a Jewish man named Grigory Morozov, a fellow student at Moscow University. They had a child, but the marriage was dissolved. ..

The last man she married apparently was an Indian Communist party member B rajesh Singh

Svetlana had an unlikely romance with Indian Communist Brajesh Singh. While in Russia, Svetlana had fallen in love with Brajesh Singh, an Indian Communist in Moscow. She eventually became his common-law wife in 1964 (although the two never officially married). In 1967, shortly after Singh died, she has his body cremated according to Hindu tradition and then traveled to India to spread Singh’s ashes in the sacred Ganges River. Reportedly, Soviet officials, including Prime Minister Alexi Kosygin, pressured her against going to India.

My goodness that is interesting.. communist.. ashes.. Ganges.. rivers.. Very determined lady..
