Unbelievable fate of Stalin's children #facts #historyfacts #stalinvideo

Ever wondered what happened to Stalin's three children?
Stalin's eldest son, Yakov, had a tragic fate. Captured by the Nazis during World War II, Stalin refused to exchange him for a German general. He died in a German prison camp under mysterious circumstances, likely executed.

Vasily, the second son, was a celebrated pilot. But after his father's death, he fell from grace, was imprisoned for a while, struggled with alcoholism, and died at just 40, two days after his release from prison.

Svetlana, Stalin's only daughter, studied English literature. She defected to the United States in 1967 and even changed her name to an American one. She lived a turbulent life, marrying several times and eventually dying from cancer in Wisconsin.

The second son was also executed, most probably poisoned. Check sources of local historians.
