About

The story of the tragic fate of the second wife of Joseph Stalin - Nadezhda Allilueva. It could be a classic love story, if not for one nuance: these men and women - Joseph Stalin and Nadezhda Alliluyeva. She first saw him when she was 12 years old, and he is 34 years old. He was a close friend of the Alliluyevs, famous revolutionaries, whose home was the refuge of many prominent fighters with the tsarist regime. A young, charming, kind Caucasian dzhigit with heroic destiny, Stalin had just fled from exile. And Nadya fell in love. At the age of 16 she becomes his wife. The development of their relations takes place against the background of historical events of the early twentieth century: the February and October Revolution, the Civil War, the death of Lenin, the seizure of power by Stalin. Nadia rushes between love for her husband and understanding of his terrible essence. She tries to escape from this vicious circle, but each time the love for Stalin is stronger...
