The Life of the Characters in Nadezhda Alliluyeva's Works

Disillusionment of hope: the mystery of the death of Stalin's wife Nadezhda.

Stalin's wife's name is nadezhda. Nadezhda- It means "hope".

Before Khrushchev's tombstone was built, Nadezhda Alliluyeva's tomb was the most striking in the cemetery of Notre Dame Monastery. Mourners are interested in her for many reasons:

-because she is Stalin's wife;

-because she died at the age of 3 1;

-Because her death happened on the day when the whole country celebrated the anniversary of the October Revolution 15.

Nadezhda is the daughter of Stalin's old comrade-in-arms Aliluyev. They are all Georgians. At the beginning of the October Revolution, Stalin was alone, staying with his old friend in Petrograd. Stalin's first wife, Svanedia, died many years ago. 19 19, 39-year-old Stalin married Na Jie who was under 18 years old. Stalin was a mature professional revolutionary. Nadezhda hasn't graduated from middle school yet, but she has received a good education from her family and has begun to dabble in the life of thorns. Nadezhda is young, beautiful and enterprising. She is not content to be a wife. She should have the knowledge level and working ability suitable for her status. She went to the front with Stalin and worked as a secretary in Lenin's office. Later, he entered the technical college to study chemical fiber technology. Except for a few people in the academy, I didn't know that this hardworking, dark-haired and quiet female classmate was Stalin's wife.

1932165438+1October 7th, the anniversary of the October Revolution15th, nadezhda and polytechnic students were in the parade in Red Square. But a few days later, the newspaper announced that she died on the 8 th. The obituary did not mention the cause of her death, nor did it announce the doctor's final diagnosis, which could not but arouse social doubts. Her death became a mystery of speculation.

So different stories are circulated in society: suicide, murder and murder. ...

There is a saying like this: At the dinner to celebrate the October Revolution, Stalin greeted Najezhda: "Hello! Come and have a drink with everyone! " Stalin knew that nadezhda didn't drink, and she also advised Stalin to drink less. Stalin's rude greeting made nadezhda very unhappy and even thought it was an insult to his personality. She has a famous surname. Her surname is neither "Hello" nor "Hello". She suppressed her personal dissatisfaction and kept her manners, but left early. The banquet lasted until late at night, and Stalin stayed in the dormitory next to his office.

The next morning, the housekeeper found nadezhda lying in a pool of blood. She left a suicide note, the contents of which no one had read except Stalin.

Stalin was a leader, but he was rude, so he was criticized by Lenin. Stalin and nadezhda lived happily after marriage. They lived together for 13 years and gave birth to a son and a daughter. At that time, revolutionaries' wives didn't have high demands on housework, and Nadezhda was no exception. She devoted all her heart and soul to social undertakings. After Lenin's death, Stalin defeated the "opposition" within the party and became the supreme leader of the whole party. Nadezhda understood the process of Stalin's victory and the price he paid. She gradually formed her own political views. Her views are similar to those of Lenin's widow Krupskaya and others who have been labeled as "the opposition". Some old Bolsheviks became Stalin's political enemies, but they were her friends. But she knows her identity and tries to restrain her personal feelings.

Stalin's policies and working methods have aroused the opposition of some old comrades. In order to maintain Stalin's prestige, suicides occurred frequently. In the process of agricultural collectivization, people's dissatisfaction is relatively strong. Nadezhda learned a lot about folk sufferings from his classmates. She reflected this matter to Stalin, hoping that he would reconsider. Stalin asked her, do all your friends think so? No one agrees? Nadezhda wanted to mean to say, there is one. His name is Khrushchev. Khrushchev and Najezhda were classmates of the Industrial Institute at that time, and they were party secretaries. Stalin probably remembered this name from then on.

What happened after dinner that night showed that nadezhda's restraint had reached its limit-her hopes were dashed.

The Soviet government held a grand funeral for Nadezhda Alliluyeva. Stalin only attended the ceremony to bid farewell to the remains, and did not escort them to the cemetery. Later, he didn't go to his wife's grave to mourn and sweep the grave, but left his name on the tombstone:

Najrida sergeyev Alliluyeva-Stalina

* * * (cloth) party member.

Jovi Stalin's respect

Facing Alliluyeva's tombstone, I thought of my daughter Svetlana's words: "If she hadn't died, what would her future fate be?" ? Nothing good will come of it. Sooner or later, she will become her father's political enemy. When she saw her best old friends, such as Bukharin, Enukidze, Reddens and Svanidze, all died one by one, she would never be silent. She won't succeed. "Bukharin-a familiar figure, no need to comment. Ennukize was also an important figure in the Party. nadezhda's adoptive father was suppressed in 1937, and nadezhda's brother-in-law Reddens was arrested and executed in 1938. Then his wife, Anna, nadezhda's sister, was arrested and imprisoned for being a "spy". Alexander Swanedzic and his wife are brothers and sisters of Stalin's ex-wife. Both were arrested at the same time before the war. 1942, the husband was executed and his wife died in prison.

In addition, nadezhda's brother Pavel, a former political commissar of the army, suddenly died in his office when he learned that many of his subordinates had been arrested. His wife was arrested and imprisoned for "espionage".

Svetlana asked herself in an article commemorating her mother: "Maybe fate gave her death to save her from the greater misfortune waiting for her? ! "
