Soviet leader Josef Stalin with his son Vasily and daughter Svetlana, 1930s. Artist: Pyotr Otsup
Soviet leader Josef Stalin with his son Vasily and daughter Svetlana, 1930s. Vasily Iosifovich Dzhugashvili (1921-1962) and Svetlana Iosifovna Alliluyeva (1926-2011) were the children of Stalin (1879-1953) and his second wife Nadezhda Alliluyeva. Vasily served in the Red Army air force, reaching the rank of Lieutenant-General. In 1952 he was dismissed from his command of the Air Force in the Moscow Military District after insisting that aircraft flew in bad weather during a military parade, resulting in two bombers crashing. After his fathers death, Vasily fell foul of the regime. He was arrested for divulging secret information at a dinner with foreign diplomats and sentenced to 8 years imprisonment. He was released in 1960, but died just after 2 years later from the effects of chronic alcoholism. Svetlana defected to the United States in 1967. From a private collection

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a rare glimpse into the personal life of Soviet leader Josef Stalin. Taken in the 1930s, it showcases Stalin alongside his son Vasily and daughter Svetlana, offering a poignant portrayal of family dynamics amidst the backdrop of political power. Vasily Iosifovich Dzhugashvili, seen here as a young boy, would go on to serve in the Red Army air force with distinction. However, his career took a tragic turn when he was dismissed from his command after an ill-fated military parade. Despite facing adversity under the regime following his father's death, Vasily's struggles extended beyond politics. Battling chronic alcoholism, he tragically passed away just two years after being released from imprisonment. Svetlana Iosifovna Alliluyeva is captured here as an innocent girl before her eventual defection to the United States in 1967. Her journey reflects both rebellion against her father's legacy and a search for personal freedom outside of Soviet confines. The artist behind this remarkable portrait is Pyotr Otsup, who skillfully immortalized this moment within history through monochrome elegance. This photograph serves as a testament to not only Stalin's role as a powerful leader but also highlights the complexities and tragedies that unfolded within his own family. From its historical significance to its artistic merit, this print offers viewers an opportunity to delve deeper into one of history's most enigmatic figures and explore the intricate interplay between politics and personal lives during tumultuous times.
