Now That’s What You Call Tough Parenting
Jeffrey Goldberg passing along this line from the obituary of Lana Peters, a/k/a Svetlana Stalina, a/k/a Svetlana Alliluyeva, the daughter of Josef Stalin who defected to the West many years ago and passed away this weekend at her home in Wisconsin:
In her memoirs she told of how Stalin had sent her first love, a Jewish filmmaker, to Siberia for 10 years.
One shudders to think what he would’ve done to an attorney.
Ah, it’s refreshing to know how deeply Stalin cared for his people! Sort of a Karl Rove thing, I suspect.
One thwarted romance is a tragedy. A million thwarted romances is a statistic.
