Last name of the wife of Vasily Stalin. All women of Vasily Stalin. Mistresses and illegitimate children

He always adopted children of his cohabitants

In recent years, the name of Vasily Stalin repeatedly appeared on the pages of newspapers and on the air. Either unknown documents from the archives were published, the military prosecutor's office was reviewing a long-standing case, then the ashes were transferred from Kazan to Moscow. The frequency with which informational occasions appear suggests the idea of \u200b\u200ba quiet competent PR. I don’t know who and why is playing the card of the leader’s last son, but only the attitude towards Vasily Iosifovich is slowly being adjusted. Previously, they wrote about a good, but weak man who could not bear the burden of his father's glory.

Now they emphasize the courage of the pilot, the talents of the military and sports organizer and, again, the kindness complete with other personal advantages. Well, what a daredevil and organizer of a chronic alcoholic, it is better to ask narcologists. And why not talk about the merits of Vasily.

"Better to the tiger in the cage."   In the winter of 1940-1941, at the Dynamo skating rink at Petrovka 26, hockey player Vladimir Menshikov recklessly introduced his bride to a friend, the youngest pilot of the 16th air regiment. The girl's name was Galya - Galina Bourdonskaya, a student at the Printing Institute. Beautiful. Soon, a light aircraft was barring over her house near the Kirovskaya metro station. At night, a motorcycle broke into the courtyard with a bang. Galina's apartment was buried in flowers. In addition to the most prestigious profession in the pre-war USSR, the younger pilot also had the most prestigious surname - Stalin. Galya lost. Signed on December 30th. The bride was in a red dress. I didn’t know that the sign was not good ...

A year later, she, pregnant, will be evacuated; her husband will fly to her in Kuibyshev. Once he will tumble with drunk friends, demand that she tell a joke, Galina will refuse. “Then he went up to her and hit her with force,” recalls Svetlana Alliluyeva's girlfriend, Martha Peshkova. - Thank God that there was a sofa nearby, she was already on the demolition and she fell on that sofa ... Svetlana, I remember, said: "Get out immediately." “He then embarrassed the whole team, and they all left.”

In 1960, Vasily, having returned from prison, decided to return to his first family. Galina will tell the children: “It’s better to go to a tiger in a cage than at least a day, at least an hour with your father” ...

"Return this fool to Carmen." Anything about Vasily’s novel with former classmate Nina Orlova. For example, her son claims that there was no romance. But we will believe Stepan Mikoyan, who met a girl in the autumn of 1941 in a village near Saratov. The company had two more pilots - Timur Frunze and Vasily Stalin. “Vasily, rightfully the eldest in age, rank and experience, seized the initiative and did not leave the girl,” recalled Stepan.

With jealousy, Vasily learned that she married the “old man,” the famous documentary filmmaker Roman Carmen. A year later, the couple were among those invited to the Stalinist dacha in Zubalovo, Vasily and Nina danced ...

Then they met at the apartment of the pilot Pavel Fedrovi. The seasoned Carmen, a Spanish veteran, was about to "shoot Vasya" and even loaded the Mauser. But he changed his mind and through the former father-in-law, historian Emelyan Yaroslavsky, complained to Stalin Sr. So the winged resolution was born: “Return this fool to Carmen. Colonel Stalin put on 15 days "...

Dynastic marriage.   By the end of the war, Vasily was already so exhausted by drunkenness that he practically did not fly. His children, who were married to Yekaterina Tymoshenko, did not live long ... But according to formal signs, life went well: a twenty-five-year-old general, commander of an air division (about to receive a corps), a young wife from an influential family in the army ...

Contemporaries recognized her as beautiful: a burning brunette, eyes with bluish squirrels - and no one left a single positive word about her. The driver of Catherine told how he sold on her behalf a truck of captured fur coats, carpets, and porcelain. Having given the proceeds, he was shocked by the question: “Is it a lot or a little?”. “I had no idea about prices at all, I lived on everything ready,” the driver recalled.

Ekaterina Timoshenko

“We, strange children, apparently irritated her,” recalled Alexander Bourdonsky. “They forgot to feed for three to four days, some were locked in a room.” At night, children went down to the cellar for raw potatoes and carrots. The youngest, Nadia, was three years old ... Father was not distracted by such trifles, he developed sports. He managed to get the stars of that time into the Air Force teams: Vsevolod Bobrov, Konstantin Reva, Anatoly Tarasov. He beat off the footballer Nikolai Starostin, who was serving a term in the camps, from Beria, but retreated after a short struggle. Finally, I met the swimmer Kapitolina Vasilyeva ...

"Swim Capa, Swim." In the series “The Moscow Saga” based on the novel by Vasily Aksenov, she circulates around the pool, a vigorous girl with a kindergarten smile, and sober Vasily, performed by Sergei Bezrukov, fondly says: “Swim, Capa, swim” - that is, break records, shake the world.

And in fact? Vasily first encountered a self-sufficient woman who, by and large, doesn’t care what his dad’s name is. Nineteen-time champion of the USSR - here, with the name of Stalin, nothing could be added or ... No, it was possible to take away, and Vasya, furiously complexing because of her independence, called the sports committee and ordered Capitoline not to be awarded the “Honored Master of Sports”. And the title had already been awarded, she had to get the badge. Nothing, played back. She threw her medals in his face ...

Kapitolina Vasilyeva

When the relationship went to the finale, he hit her so much that he injured his eye. In old age, trauma will respond with progressive blindness.

"Cohabiting with your wife." Checking the dates, you wonder how much he did. Winter at the end of 1949 is a time when the break with Catherine has not yet been completed, and the affair with Kapitolina has not lost its freshness. Tossing from family to family, Vasily found himself, using the aviation term, a jump airfield. In 1953, writer Boris Voitekhov told the investigator about this: “... Arriving at the apartment of my ex-wife, actress Lyudmila Tselikovskaya, I found her torn to pieces. She said that she had just visited Vasily Stalin and was trying to force her to cohabit. I went to his apartment, where he drank in the company of pilots. Basil knelt down, called himself a scoundrel and a scoundrel, and declared that he was cohabiting with my wife. In 1951, I had financial difficulties, and he put me in the headquarters referent. I didn’t do any work, and received a salary as an athlete of the Air Force. ” Who paid with whom?

Victor Polyansky, adjutant of Vasily Stalin, in his book “10 years with Vasily Stalin”, published in Tver in 1995, wrote: “Despite his ugly appearance (short stature, thinness, redness and caulk) - youth, disorder, daring and wit, and the main fact - the pilot, and besides Stalin, took their ... All kinds of sneaks and, especially, girls clung to him like flies to honey ”...

Handsome man

He did not drink in prison. The children were called to the dying Stalin on March 2, when he had already lost his speech and could not say anything to his son. Nevertheless, according to Svetlana’s recollections, Vasily, even with his living father, began to shout that he was “killed”, “killed”: “He was terrified. He was sure that his father was "poisoned", "killed"; he saw that the world was collapsing, without which he could not exist ... During the funeral days he was in terrible condition ... he threw reproaches at all, blamed the government, doctors, everyone who could be - that they had not treated him that way, not that ... "

But in the Politburo, meanwhile, there was a struggle for power. The inadequate son of the leader confused the cards with absolutely everyone. He was offered a choice of service in any military district, except for Moscow - Vasily refused. On March 26, he was fired from the army - humiliatingly, without the right to wear uniforms.

He, pretending to be drinking companions, began to threaten: I will give an interview to foreign correspondents about his situation after Stalin’s death (apartment-car-dacha, one-time allowance of six salaries, a pension of 4950 rubles. To understand the scale of prices: the Pobeda car cost 16,000, “ Moskvich ”9000).

A month later, Vasily was arrested, and he began to surrender his wives. Accused of embezzlement - said that Kapitolina knocked him out to build a sports center: the champion had to train. They presented “an intention to meet with foreign correspondents in order to change the homeland” (such a difficult time) - said that it was Tymoshenko who slandered him: “I was not the first to get into her network. And she threw all into a difficult moment created by her, but she herself had nothing to do with it. ”

So many would like, but this is not white ...

Wives have forgiven. All three visited him at the Vladimir Central. Paradoxically, eight years in prison most likely extended Vasily's life. He didn’t drink there ...

Agent with a syringe.   Why not write about his fourth wife. Svetlana Alliluyeva: “They knew (and warned me) that she was a paid KGB agent at the Vishnevsky Institute, where she worked and where Vasily lay for some time for examination ... There, he was“ fascinated ”by this woman, who then followed him to Kazan, where she illegally married him. It’s illegal, since my brother wasn’t divorced from his first wife yet. ” Well, Svetlana wouldn’t talk about legality. She herself married Yuri Zhdanov, not divorcing her first husband and father of her child, Grigory Morozov ...

Most importantly, the surname is what kind of KGB agent is Nuzberg. With such a surname only poison the son of Stalin. The version of Vasily's violent death was launched by races: both children, and ex-wife, and anti-Semitic enthusiasts. Indeed, the version lies on the surface. Poisoned the leader? It is possible that he died on time. Vasily shouted that the leader was poisoned? Screaming. So he knew something like that. That's why they killed it. They put to him “a nurse-wife, a KGB agent, Marina Nuzberg, after whose injections he died,” as one well-known news agency had categorically declared ...

Maria Nuzberg was attractive ...

Actually, not Marina, but Maria Ignatievna. And Nuzberg is her first husband, and, as a girlhood, Shevargin, hails from the village of Mazanovka, Kursk Region. Worked at the Vishnevsky Institute, yes. And about her involvement in the KGB, there is no data. But there is a simple consideration: a thirty-year-old nurse with two daughters has nothing to catch, and Vasily, although disgraced, is the son of Stalin. And it’s not for the Kursk women to get used to living with drunks ...

Vasily arrived at the place of his exile, Kazan, which was closed to foreigners on April 29, 1961. He was provided with a one-room apartment 82 in building 105 on Gagarina street. They did not give out passports, demanding that he change his surname to at least Dzhugashvili, even to Alliluyev, like Svetlana. (Tatarstan KGB chairman General Abdullah Bichurin talked to him). In response, Vasily asked to register his marriage with Maria and to issue compensation for the seized summer house near Moscow. It seems to have shaken hands. But at home, the roommate arranged a scene for him, like an old woman to an old man who had let go of the Golden Fish. She called the KGB herself and put forward the conditions: Moscow, apartment, car, increase in pension - then Vasily will change his name. Bargained, the KGB of Tatarstan coordinated each concession at the top. Maria Ignatievna, meanwhile, left for Moscow to have an abortion ...

Did not wait.   Returning to the new year 1962, she found another Maria, Nikolaevna, at Vasya. The scene “did not wait”, Vasily, babbling “then, then”, put up a new Maria. And the old one, realizing that the trade dragged on, so you can lose everything, drove Vasya to the registry office. On January 9, he received a passport for the surname Dzhugashvili, two days later registered a marriage with Shevargina and adopted her children.

With his last wife Maria at the Troekurovsky cemetery in Moscow

And the deceived Maria II will seek meetings, asking why he did not call. “They took me away,” Vasily will answer (we will see later on where he was taken on January 30) and at the next meeting, Maria II will hear from him the sacramental “do not believe anything you hear about me.”

Already in our time, she will begin to give out interviews, talking about Vasya’s warm autumn feeling and about the KGB agent who brought him to the grave. Inadvertently, he will give another Vasino a lie: explaining why his pension is small, he said that he would send half to his first wife (in fact, the pension was halved on the proposal of the KGB chairman Alexander Shelepin and prosecutor general Roman Rudenko.

Alexander Malinin, a former assistant to the head of the Vladimir Central, on Channel One on January 30, 2004, said: “He had three wives: Bourdonskaya, Timoshenko and Vasilyeva. Previously, there were no lengthy dates when they allowed to live with his wife. He was allowed: with all the wives. "...

Then he died.   The same pragmatic considerations that caused Maria to babysit the drunken Vasily remove all charges from her. He died on the eve of moving to a three-room apartment, leaving his wife in a one-room apartment. Did it need Mary? Or didn’t bear it - spit on the apartment, it’s better to quickly deal with Vasya? No, she already saved him on January 30, when, after drinking a “ruff” (a liter of vodka per liter of wine), Vasily ended up in intensive care. Alas, he did not hear this call either. On March 14, Major Sergei Kakhishvili, a fellow countryman and teacher of the tank school, brought wine, and Vasily did not dry until the 19th. Then he died ...

But the children, the children, do not want their father to die like a drunk. Better let him be killed by the KGB agent Nuzberg. And daughter Nadia, having arrived at the funeral, will see her father lying on some blackboard "in bloody sheets." Alexander will remember that his father’s nose was broken, bruises on his wrists, bruising on his legs, and a lot of sleeping pills in bed.

Only the cenotaph remained in Kazan - a grave without a body ...

And Kapitolina, entering with Nadia and Alexander, will find him in a coffin, swollen, dressed in a tunic. And in his own way will expose the KGB. Maria will tell her that an autopsy has already been performed, Kapitolina will not find a seam on the body (which Alexander “remembers”) ...

Would they agree that - bloodstained sheets or a tunic, beat him up, poison him with sleeping pills, or - a later version of Nadezhda - set up the accident by firing a motorcycle from a sniper rifle at his father’s ...

An impartial look at Vasily Stalin will be possible no sooner than new generations replace the last of his contemporaries. But when all contemporaries leave, who will tell the truth?

The record of the death act number 812 reads: "Vasily Dzhugashvili ... Date of death March 19, 1962 ... Cause of death: general atherosclerosis, against the background of chronic alcohol intoxication, acute cardiovascular failure, pulmonary emphysema."

Vasily Stalin is a notable personality in the history of the USSR, there has been a lot of talk about him, various crimes were attributed to him, most of which turned out to be untrue. Political activity, biography, personal life of communication with the wives and children of Vasily Stalin - all this interests many people. By and large, this is the history of our country.

Vasily Stalin is one of the beloved sons of the head of the USSR Joseph Stalin. A boy was born in the capital in 1920 on March 24. Father at that time worked as a commissioner, and was not so famous. Mom - Nadezhda Alliluyeva, which many talk about, was half gypsy, half German. The difference in age with the father was significant, almost 20 years, therefore, quarrels arose more than once between them.

Mom also worked in the field of public affairs and was in charge of the newspaper. The boy grew up can be said to be alone, his parents were constantly at work. In 1932, grief happened that completely changed life, like Joseph Stalin, still a boy.

Hope committed suicide, which led to dramatic changes in the psychological and emotional state of Joseph.

The boy was presented with a guard, which was engaged in his education. You can say he lived in the most severe conditions and restrictions.

Kachinsky aviation school has become an opportunity for the boy to escape from this life. 1938, he becomes a cadet and begins to master the flight business. After the start of World War II, Vasily immediately submits an application to go to the front, but she declines. Stalin did not want to lose his beloved son, who reminded him of his mother. In addition, the eldest son of Stalin had already died at that time.

Feats of arms

Of course, the guy is suffering for a very long time from the fact that everyone is sent to the front, but he remains on the sidelines. In 1942, he receives approval and goes to the area of \u200b\u200bthe Stalingrad front. He is appointed commander of the regiment, where he repeatedly showed himself.

Many of his wards said that he was a risky and brave man who was never afraid of anything. Always covered his fighters, carried them off the battlefield.

Working at the front, he more than once became a participant in litigations because of his risky actions. As a result, the time came when he was finally sent back to the capital. In fact, Joseph Stalin himself was glad that his son came back. The head of the USSR felt that an attempt on him would soon be prepared, and he had repeatedly told his son about it. This was the reason for his arrest.

Images from the film “Son of the Father of the Nations”

In 1943, Vasily received disciplinary punishment and sent to the training base to work as an instructor. He received a punishment as a result of an incident that happened while killing fish. Due to improper laying of the explosive device, people were injured and died. More Vasily never received permission to participate in battles. For a year of work at the front, he received more than a dozen awards.

Service

After the war, Vasily was appointed commander of the Air Force of the central district. His work has been repeatedly appreciated by both wards and senior officials. Subsequently, by his decree and initiative, a sports complex for pilots was built. He was actively engaged in training the military in the field of physical exercises. He understood how hard it was to fly an airplane in the air. Therefore, under his command, football and hockey teams were created, which more than once became winners of the competition. All subordinates and soldiers received housing, which was built for needs.

Information on the tragic incident of 1950 was obtained from the archives. The created football team of pilots crashed during the flight. Vasily was supposed to be on this flight, but it was removed on behalf of Joseph Stalin. According to sources, Wolf Messing warned that a tragedy would happen. In order to hide this incident, a new team was formed, which quickly arrived at the match.

Tragic events often haunted Vasily. He was a risky man and never listened to anyone. In 1952, during the parade, on his behalf, fighters took to the air. As stated in the report, the weather was non-flying. As a result, two pilots who crashed were killed during the landing. As a result, Vasily was removed from all serious work and his post.

To find on the Internet photos of children and wives of Vasily Stalin, information about his personal life and biography will be very difficult. For various reasons, some information was destroyed during the USSR. Most of the information remained secret for a long time. Speaking about the personality of Vasily, one cannot fail to note his merits to the USSR Air Force. He made considerable efforts to improve the training of the military.

Arrest

After the death of Joseph Stalin, Vasily begins to actively talk about the fact that an attempt was created. As a result, an investigation was conducted, after which Vasily goes to prison. Of course, the son was right, and the case against him was also fabricated. The article on which he was detained is a waste of government money, where he falls under the name Vasily Vasiliev. For 8 years in prison, he largely took up his health, mastered working professions, in particular, learned to work on a lathe.

His detention was planned, Vasily himself expected that such a moment would soon come. In general, he did not resist, realizing that if he did not cooperate, then he would simply be shot. Later, the city of Kazan was waiting for him, which was closed to foreigners. Many political prisoners went here. He again begins to get involved in alcohol, which destroyed his health.

Personal life

Today, the wives and children of Vasily Stalin, his personal life and biography are of great importance. Of course, having power and being the son of the head of state, he was not always a moral person.

In addition to having four official marriages, he also had at least a dozen different novels. Relations with the wives of prominent political figures, more than once became the causes of scandals.

Today, four of his own children and three adoptive children are known. The first wife is Galina Bourdonskaya, she worked in a leadership position in an aviation garage. They lived together for 4 years, more than once took part in amateur performances.

Yekaterina Timoshenko, daughter of the famous marshal, became the second wife of Vasily. They had a son, but his life was not long, since he was a drug addict and died of an overdose of young. Also, sometimes articles appear that there was a second daughter, Svetlana.

Despite his official marriage, Vasily begins to meet with a famous athlete. Vasilyeva subsequently became the cause of the divorce. After breaking up with Tymoshenko, they lived for three years and broke up. The most important thing is that after Vasily was detained, all the spouses constantly went to his prison. It was in this way that his wife and children influenced the biography and personal life of Vasily Stalin.

The fourth marriage was with the unsightly and little-known nurse Maria Nusberg. They became engaged on the eve of Stalin's death. Vasily himself adopted her two daughters from her first marriage. The meeting with Maria became a new round for him in life, but he could not restrain his feelings and subsequently drank himself. Many say that this was a planned action, they simply poisoned him so that he would not tell anyone about anything. Events of that time remained hidden.

Death

Images from the film “son of the father of peoples”

Vasily Stalin died due to an overdose of alcohol. After his release, he is sent to Kazan, where he rents a one-room apartment and begins to drink very much. As a result, intoxication occurs. Vasily was first buried in Kazan under the surname Dzhugashvili, later his remains were transferred to a cemetery in Moscow. All charges against this person were dropped posthumously.

A lot of information about his life can be obtained from documentaries that are dedicated personally to Vasily Stalin. Many facts that were obtained from the archives became a sensation. The film tells about the biography, the personal life of Vasily Stalin, about his children and wives, it is this information that interests the audience. By and large, 8 years in prison, he received undeservedly in a fabricated case. Many reliable facts have become open to ordinary people and to the Stalin family. One of these paintings is “Reckoning."

Vasily was born on March 24, 1920 in Moscow. At that time, his father still served as the chief commissioner at the RSFSR inspection on national issues.

The boy’s mother was the second wife of the future leader of the peoples - Nadezhda Alliluyeva, half German by nationality, half gypsy. She was 20 years younger than Joseph and, despite the fact that quarrels between them often broke out, Nadezhda loved her husband very much. And Stalin himself often called her "my Tatka."

Since parents were engaged in government affairs a lot (her mother was the editor of a communist newspaper), little Vasily grew up without maternal affection from childhood. After the suicide of Nadezhda Alliluyeva in 1932, he was completely deprived of frequent communication with his father, who had greatly changed in character. After the death of his mother, the mentors of the youth were mainly security officers, who obeyed General Nikolai Vlasik. A secret guard consisting of KGB agents was always organized behind Vasily.

In 1938, Vasily enrolled as a cadet at the Kachin Aviation School and completed it in two years. Many teachers noted the young man as a negligent student who was swinging from classes in theory. But in practice, he proved himself to be a talented pilot with a strong character.

Stalin’s son spent the prewar year on improving his flight training. When the war began, he immediately filed a petition to go to the front. But Stalin himself did not let Basil go to war, because he was afraid that he might lose his favorite. And not without reason: according to some sources, the elder Jacob died at the very beginning of the war, according to others - he was captured.

Feats of arms

Vasily, possessing a warm and bold character, suffered greatly from this state of affairs, and in the middle of 1942 he sought his enlistment in the aviation forces at the beginning of the Stalingrad and then the Northwest Fronts. At the forefront, he was appointed commander of the regiment.

His subordinates later recalled him as a bold, but too risky pilot. There were situations when, due to his rash actions, officers had to save their commander in battle, but Vasily himself, whenever possible, was protecting his comrades from the enemy in the sky.

He ended his service in 1943 after an explosion occurred while he was involved in killing fish, during which people died. He was put forward a disciplinary sanction, and the regiment commander was transferred to the service as an aerobatics instructor. Since then, Vasily no longer took part in the battles.

Nevertheless, during the war Vasily Stalin received more than 10 awards, including three medals from the Polish People’s Republic. And in Vitebsk, they even installed a memorial in memory of his military merits.

Air Force Service

Two years after the victory over fascist Germany, Vasily Stalin was approved for the post of commander of the Air Force of the central district. While in this position, the leader’s son did a lot of good things to improve the morale, discipline and qualifications of the pilots. He also initiated the construction of a sports complex, which became a subordinate institution of the Air Force.

Vasily Stalin was one of the first to improve the sports training of aviators: under his leadership, strong football and hockey teams were created. As a boss, he did a lot for his subordinates: he built houses for them, knocked out a good building for the headquarters.

In 1950, a tragic incident occurred: when flying to the Urals, the best football team of the Air Force crashed. According to the recollections of people close to the Stalin family, the leader himself warned about this plane crash, with whom Joseph Vissarionovich often spoke. Vasily’s flight on this flight was immediately canceled, as a result of which he remained alive. This incident was silent for a long time, up to the 90s. It was established that another team was urgently called for that match, which played for the dead.

Accidental deaths of subordinates pursue Basil. So, in 1952, at the May Day demonstration, it was he who gave the order to conduct a demonstration flight of fighters during non-flying weather. The aircrafts went in disordered rows, and on landing two of them crashed. In addition, more and more often at headquarters meetings, Stalin's son began to appear drunk. This was enough to remove all powers from Vasily Iosifovich.

An angry father forces a negligent son to attend lectures at the Military Academy, but Vasily ignores classes. He justified his frequency with alcohol by the fact that he would only live until the death of his father.

Arrest

Partly Vasily was right. After the death of Joseph Stalin at his funeral, his son immediately began talking about a conspiracy against his father and about his murder. Such a herald was unprofitable for the party elite: against Vasily they fabricate a case of embezzlement of state funds and place it in the Vladimir Central under the name Vasily Vasiliev.

He spent 8 years in prison, while Vasily's health improved, as he was deprived of a drink and worked hard. Stalin's son mastered turning skills well.

Personal life

Over the years of his life, Vasily proved himself to be a man unburdened with moral values. In addition to the four official wives, he had many small affairs with the fair sex, who often turned out to be married to military or political figures. After himself, he left seven children, four of whom were relatives, and the rest were adopted.

His first wife was the daughter of the head of the service garage, Galina Alexandrovna Bourdonskaya, with whom he signed on the eve of the war. The marriage lasted 4 years, after it Vasily left his son Alexander and daughter Nadezhda. Both connected their life with theatrical art.

The second time, Vasily married the daughter of the USSR Marshal, the famous beauty Ekaterina Semenovna Timoshenko, who gave birth to his second son, Vasily. His fate was unsuccessful, since he was very addicted to drugs and died at a young age, having died of his own will. In this union, the daughter Svetlana was also born. Unfortunately, the media contain few photos and written materials about Vasily’s second marriage, mostly his descendants from the first union received fame.

In parallel with the second family, the restless Vasily started an affair with the USSR champion in swimming Kapitolina Georgievna Vasilyeva, whom she married immediately after her divorce from Tymoshenko. But the marriage also did not last more than 3 years. It is interesting that all three wives came to the prison to Vasily Stalin in turn. Apparently, women continued to love him even after numerous betrayals.

The last marriage Vasily concluded with Maria Ignatyevna Nusberg in her childhood, Shevargina, who was an ordinary nurse on the eve of her death. He also adopted her two children, who, like his adoptive daughter from Vasilyeva, took the surname Dzhugashvili. The grandchildren of Vasily Iosifovich appeared only from his daughter Nadezhda - this is the granddaughter of Anastasia Alexandrovna and the great-granddaughter of Galina Vasilievna.

Death

After his release, he was forced to leave for the city of Kazan, which was closed to foreigners, where Vasily settled in the center in a one-room apartment in early 1962. But, before he could live to see his birthday, he suddenly died of intoxication due to alcohol poisoning.

Vasily Iosifovich was buried under the surname Dzhugashvili, to which he nevertheless agreed after long negotiations with the KGB. Later, in 2002, his remains were transferred from the Kazan cemetery to Moscow Troekurovskoye. At the end of the century, the Russian prosecutor's office dropped all charges against Vasily Stalin posthumously.

In recent years, many films about the son of Joseph Stalin have been shot on Russian television, including the documentary film “Reckoning,” which reveals many secrets from the life of Vasily Stalin. A lot of work is being done to restore reliable facts from the life of the party elite, which are important for a deeper understanding of historical processes in Russia.

But there are fantastic hypotheses, for example, speculation about some mysterious plan for the burial of gold of the party. According to some researchers, Vasily Stalin was also involved in it. He encrypted the plan in the carving of the handles of three knives, which he had forged in the Vladimir Central.

Vasily is the youngest son of Joseph Vissarionovich Stalin, whose interest in his personality has not died out so far. Stalin Jr. was a brave combat pilot, athlete and man, not indifferent to the female sex. The personal life of Vasily Stalin was full of serious novels and easy hobbies, but he could not stand to be denied and used to easy victories on the love front.

The first wife of Vasily Stalin Galina Burdonskaya, daughter of the head of the service garage, was the bride of his friend Vasily Menshikov, whom he introduced to Vasily in the winter of forty-first year. They skated on a skating rink, and after that evening Stalin was relentlessly following Galina until he made sure that she agreed to be with him.

Vasily gave her huge bouquets, surprised her with crazy actions, and the student of the printing institute could not resist. Not the least role in the fact that the girl agreed to become his wife was played by the fact that he was the son of a leader.

The family of Galina and Vasily lasted four years - it was impossible to live on with Stalin Jr., who abused alcohol, often came home with a drunken company and even raised his hand to his wife. In addition, the presence of a wife did not stop Vasily Iosifovich from having an affair on the side.

The children of Vasily Stalin and Galina Burdonskaya were born with a difference of one and a half years - a year after the wedding, the eldest son Alexander, and then the daughter Nadezhda, were born. They remember their mother as a beautiful, cheerful woman.

Alexander Bourdonsky

According to Alexander Bourdonsky, his mother said that Vasily, despite everything, was the love of her life, although after the divorce she was married two more times.

The second wife of Vasily Stalin was Yekaterina Timoshenko, daughter of the Marshal of the Soviet Union. Father did not want Katya to marry Vasily, who was famous for his dissolute lifestyle and drunkenness, and besides divorced, but his daughter disobeyed and, having run away from home, married Stalin.

Yekaterina Tymoshenko also gave her husband two children - daughter Svetlana and son Vasily. According to acquaintances of the couple, the second wife of Vasily was looking for in marriage not love and family well-being, but a high position and prestigious acquaintances. Yekaterina Tymoshenko tried her best to approach her husband’s sister, enter the circle of dignitaries and become the same mistress of fate as her father-in-law. However, Katya was mistaken - Stalin, who approved the second marriage of his son, did not even close his daughter-in-law.

Soon the family of Vasily and Catherine cracked - Stalin did not change his habits and continued to lead a wild life. Catherine took offense at the older children of Vasily Stalin, who lived with him after the divorce from Galina - did not feed them, beat her in the most cruel way. She even fired the nanny, who was feeding the children secretly.

Quarrels and scandals between the spouses did not stop, and in 1949 they divorced.

The third time, Vasily Stalin married the swimmer Kapitolina Vasilyeva, which even his father liked. This marriage of Vasily can be called the happiest - the wife took care of her spouse, treated him with understanding and even tried to fight his harmful addiction to alcohol, but to no avail.

Kapitolina was a titled athlete, who didn’t care who her husband’s father was, she herself was a self-sufficient and respected person, and Vasily was complex about this.

He was used to feeling superior in everything, and then his wife was not inferior to him in anything.

With children from their first marriage

Stalin lived with Vasilyeva for four years, and then married one more time - to the nurse Maria Ignatyevna Nusberg, whom she met much later, after having served several years after her father’s death in prison. They met at the Vishnevsky Institute, where Stalin was examined and lived together until his death.

The third wife of Vasily was a famous athlete and record holder, a swimmer Kapitolina Vasilyeva. This, perhaps, was his only wife, who managed to please I.V. To Stalin.
  After Vasily announced to Stalin that he would marry a young swimmer, the young people received 10 thousand rubles as a gift from their father, for which Kapitolina bought her husband the only civilian suit and shoes for all this time.
  We can say that the period of the late forties - early fifties was the best in the life of Vasily Stalin. “In the late forties, Stalin’s son disagrees with the daughter of Marshal Tymoshenko and begins to live with multiple swimming champion. They settled in a mansion on Gogolevsky Boulevard in house number seven.
  Kapitolina Vasilyeva talked a lot about Vasily. Sometimes he came home and asked her:
  “Could you live this month without my salary if I don’t give you a salary?” I knew what it means, someone has trouble that his salary is needed as help to someone. I say: well, I will do it. I will manage, don’t worry, only, please, arrange smaller gatherings.
  “Conflicts in connection with this very front-line charm ... I was very opposed, because I knew that this disease is so very serious, it is progressing, and I needed something ... But I didn’t succeed.”

And here is another interesting case from Vasilieva's memoirs:
“In October or November 1950, Vasily and I went to a sanatorium in Sochi. Joseph Vissarionovich at that time was resting in Ritz and invited us to his place. I thought that we were going for a day or two, I got into a car in one dress, and we drove off.
Some members of the government rested with Stalin, and in the morning, when everyone gathered for breakfast, Joseph Vissarionovich introduced me to them, starting with Molotov:
- Here is my daughter-in-law. “He said these words as if we had known each other for a long time.” Then Stalin asked:
- What are we going to drink? Suddenly, as I say:
- Cognac!
He took a small glass and poured it. That glass, of course, stood there. Everyone drank Georgian wines Tsinandali, Tsolikauri. I remember that Stalin had a narrow long glass - that was enough for him for the whole breakfast or lunch ... "
(from the memoirs of K. Vasilyeva).
“Joseph Vissarionovich somehow asked:
- What are your income? How many people are family?
I began to list: Vasya, Sasha, Nadia, Lina and I are my daughter. Vasily has a salary of 5 thousand rubles, I have 2.5 thousand. Vasily pays alimony 1,5 thousand, then installments, loan. It remains for a family of four thousand.
- How much does it get per day? asked Stalin.
I tried to count: it turned out something about 25 rubles per person.
“Not much,” said Joseph Vissarionovich. - That's when there will be a hundred a day, and even a bottle of dry wine for dinner, then life can be called normal. And now - an unimportant life ...
This ended the conversation. Suddenly, a month later, a driver from Stalin came to our house on Gogolevsky Boulevard. Vasily jumped out, and the driver said:
- No, I’m Kapitolina Georgievna. The package is ordered to pass on to her.
There was the entire monthly salary of the Generalissimo - 10 thousand rubles. And there was an inscription: “Salary I.V. Stalin for December 1950. "
Basil, of course, was delighted:
- Listen, I need to buy a mare!
“You know what, you don’t have a suit, not even civilian pants.” Sasha’s hands come out of her sleeves. Not to mention myself. So this money is for the family! I objected.
And in the evening, she called Svetlana:
- Sveta, father gave us ten thousand. He sent his salary. I will share with you.
- In no case! Do not dare! And do not invent! You have a family ...- Svetlana became worried. And a month later he calls me:
- Listen, my father also sent me! .. Svetlana did not know: when Stalin was calculating our income, I said:
- It’s not good here, but Svetlana’s is even worse.
She then divorced her second husband, Yura Zhdanov, and remained with two children ... So Joseph Vissarionovich sent us his salary until the end of 1952. ”
  (From the memoirs of Kapitolina Vasilyeva.)
And more about the money and the attitude of V. Stalin towards them. Here is an excerpt from an interview with K. Vasilyeva:
- Kapitolina Georgievna, evil tongues say that you "laid eyes on Vasily" with the expectation of ...
- For each record, the sports committee paid me 8-10 thousand rubles. Before meeting with Vasily, about forty thousand rubles accumulated on my book. Vasily never dreamed of such money. So it’s hard to suspect me of mercantile interests.
- What could then be bought with this money? A car? Two?
- And to arrange a car, and another, and an apartment, and dress in fur coats. Nevertheless, I had one fur coat, from a rabbit. For four thousand rubles. I bought it in exchange for oil and fat in post-war Berlin, winning the championship of the occupying forces. We must pay tribute to Vasily - he forbade me to take money from a book in difficult minutes. So they stayed with me that day when I left the mansion on Gogolevsky Boulevard. As I remember, February 27, 1953 ... "
Vasiliy’s children from their first marriage also fell in love with Kapitolina: ““ And then my father had a third wife - Kapitolina Georgievna Vasilyeva, a well-known swimmer at that time. I remember her with gratitude, and now we are in touch. She was the only one at that time who humanly tried to help her father. "
(From the memoirs of A. Bourdonsky.)

DEATH OF STALIN

  Stalin's children at the tomb of his father

  “After the death of I.V. Stalin's father every day expected an arrest. And in the apartment, and in the country, he was completely alone. Friends and associates left him overnight. S.Alliluyeva is heartbreaking when she says that his father spent the last month in drunkenness and revelry. He knew that his arrest would follow in the coming days. Apparently, that's why he asked me to be with him. One day, when I returned from school, I found an empty apartment, my father was already taken away, and a search was underway at home. ”
  (From the memoirs of Nadezhda Vasilyevna Stalin, daughter of Vasily Stalin.)

On a visit to prison, all three of his ex-wives came to Vasily: Galina Burdonskaya, Yekaterina Timoshenko and Kapitolina Vasilyeva. True, they came very rarely.

From a letter from Vasily Stalin to Kapitolina Vasilyeva:
“April 22, 1958.
Hello Capa! The 27th of this month marks exactly five years since I was not at home. You ask who is visiting you? I have no secrets from you, I really love you. Now neither one nor the other is visiting. Katerina does not visit and does not write, since each visit ended in swearing because of you. I did not hide from her and from anyone my attitude towards you. Galina came twice with Nadia. One didn’t come. ”
  March 5, 1953, JV Stalin dies. After the death of his father, he was called to the Minister of Defense of the USSR Nikolai Bulganin and received an order to leave Moscow to command one of the districts. Vasily Stalin did not obey the order. March 26, 1953, Lieutenant General of Aviation V.I. Stalin was dismissed into the reserve without the right to wear a military uniform. Turning to the Chinese embassy with information that his father had been poisoned and requested to leave for Beijing, Vasily Stalin signed a sentence.
He was arrested on April 28, 1953 and charged with slanderous statements aimed at discrediting the leaders of the Communist Party. In addition, during the investigation he was accused of abuse of official position, assault, intrigue, as a result of which people died. During the investigation, Vasily confessed on all, even the most ridiculous, indictments. The investigation lasted 2.5 years. All this time he was in custody. Vasily Stalin was sentenced to 8 years in prison for “anti-Soviet propaganda” (Articles 58-10 of the Criminal Code) and abuse of office (Articles 193-17 of the Criminal Code).
  He was held in the Vladimir Central, where he was listed as "Vasily Pavlovich Vasiliev." At his own request, he was appointed a mechanic at the prison utility yard. As the former central call officer Alexander Malinin recalled, Stalin was a good turner, the plan was overfulfilled. They also recalled that it was difficult to get tools then, and at his request, the wife brought two heavy lifting cases with cutters, milling cutters and other accessories for a lathe.
  In prison he became seriously ill, in fact, became disabled.
  Protesting against unjustified detention, he repeatedly wrote letters to Khrushchev, Voroshilov, Bulganin and others with a request to understand his case. The letters were inopportune - the XX Congress of the CPSU took place, exposing the personality cult of I.V. Stalin. I did not receive answers to letters.
  On January 9, 1960, he was prematurely released from prison and called for an appointment with N. S. Khrushchev. On January 21, 1960, by order of the Minister of Defense of the USSR, the order of March 26, 1953 was amended, and now he is "fired" in reserve with the right to wear military uniforms and pensions. He is allocated a three-room apartment in Moscow, assigned a pension, and the question of returning personal property seized during the arrest was raised.
  On April 16, 1960, Vasily Stalin was again arrested by the KGB "for continuing anti-Soviet activities." This was expressed in his visit to the Chinese Embassy, \u200b\u200bwhere he allegedly made a "slanderous statement of an anti-Soviet character." He was returned to prison "to serve the rest of the sentence." For a whole year he was in Lefortovo prison.
April 28, 1961 was released from prison in connection with the serving of the sentence. He was forbidden to live in Moscow and Georgia, as well as to bear the surname "Stalin", in his passport he was called "Dzhugashvili", on January 9, 1962 he received a passport with that surname. The city of Kazan, closed for visiting by foreign citizens, is determined as the place of residence of V.I. Stalin. In Kazan, he lived at 105 Gagarina Street, apartment 82.
  He was released on January 11, 1960. By a decision of the CPSU Central Committee, Vasily was given a 3-room apartment on Frunze Embankment in Moscow, a pension was determined, and he was allowed to wear a general's uniform. In addition, he received 30 thousand rubles of compensation at a time (old money) and a free ticket to Kislovodsk for three months.
  Vasily Stalin was all waiting for an official apology, but they were not followed. And he broke. In Kislovodsk, he drank vodka instead of mineral water. His behavior became known in Moscow. On April 9, 1960, the Kremlin held a conversation between Kliment Voroshilov and Vasily Stalin. The FSB archives have his entry. Voroshilov demanded that Vasily give up alcohol: “Throw vodka! Look at you. You are not even forty, but there you go, what a bald spot you have! ” Stalin asked for one thing: give work. He believed that he would plunge headlong into work, and everything would work out. Voroshilov promised to talk with Khrushchev. His report was on the Kremlin corridors ... 20 days!

Vasily did not wait. His patience burst. On April 15, Stalin's son turned to the Chinese Embassy with a request to allow him to move to this country for medical treatment. Relations between the Soviet Union and the PRC in these years were exacerbated to the limit. Already on April 16, the Presidium of the Supreme Council "appreciated" the action of Vasily. The previous decision on parole was immediately canceled. The son of Stalin was ordered to be taken into custody and deprived of all ranks and privileges. He was sent to Kazan exile. March 19, 1962 Vasily Stalin died. Khrushchev was informed about this by the then KGB chairman V. Semichastny. Nikita Sergeyevich ordered to bury Stalin's son quietly, in Kazan, and allowed his relatives to be informed of his death.
  The place of the first burial of Vasily Iosifovich was not left unattended. It is clean, well maintained. The flower garden is decorated with recently planted chrysanthemums, next to it are four fresh carnations. It seems that they came here on the eve, just on the parent Dimitry’s Saturday.

The grave itself looks modest, but not without dignity. Black fence, a slab of black marble. A handsome man in a general's uniform is looking from the photograph. The following is carved on the stove: “Vasily Iosifovich Dzhugashvili. 24.III.1920 - 19. III.1962 ". And a short epitaph: "The only one from M. Dzhugashvili."
  By the way, Vasily agreed to change his name only two months before his death. And it seems that under the influence of the very M. - Maria Nuzberg, his last wife. Although for a long period, despite the pressure of the KGB, he was not going to renounce the “uncomfortable” surname. In a letter to his aunt, Anna Alliluyeva, he wrote: “As for the surname, I'd rather cut my throat than change it! I will never go for it, and it makes no sense to talk to me. They planted Stalin, tried Stalin, deported Stalin, and now, for their convenience, to change ... No! How I was born, I’ll die like that! ”
  And yet he gave up. Went to a deal. In exchange, he demanded to return the apartment in Moscow, a car and raise his pension. They agreed that he would be allowed to improve housing conditions in Kazan and will be given monetary compensation for the car. But he did not manage to celebrate the housewarming.
  The official cause of death is alcohol poisoning. It's no secret that Vasily drank heavily in Kazan. Legends about his followers still go. Ask any city dweller that he knows about the stay of Stalin's son in Kazan, and he will almost certainly answer that some of his grandfather, uncle, or at worst, a “friend of his friend” was drinking with Vasily Iosifovich. City rumor has also retained reviews: "he was a good man, generous, not conceited." Interestingly, all these memories are documented. It may seem strange, but the KGB counted almost every glass of Flieger - under such a code name (translated from German - “pilot”) he passed in the reports. Of course, the health of the ward worried them little. Concerned about his excessive sociability.
Here is what one of the researchers of this period of Vasily Stalin’s life, Dr. Alter Litvin, found in the local KGB archives: “Fliger’s behavior after arriving in Kazan shows that, contrary to the warning, he seeks to spread the word about himself as widely as possible in the city. Almost everyone who comes across him (housemates, taxi drivers, postmen, etc.), he details, sometimes without waiting for questions from the interlocutors, tells his biography about the reasons for the arrest in 1953, his imprisonment, circumstances at which he ended up in Kazan. Moreover, in many cases, Fliger tried to clarify that his arrest was of a special nature and allegedly connected with the fact that he did not want to speak negatively about his father, and now he is “hidden” because he knows too much. "
  It is not surprising that to this day there are versions that Vasily was "helped" to die. Although most likely, he just did not interfere with drinking.
  As if in compensation for the humiliation of the last years of his life, a place in the cemetery was given to the son of the leader an honor - on the Heroes Alley, where the victims of the Great Patriotic War were also buried.

In November 2002, his body was reburied in Moscow, at the Troekurovsky cemetery - without publicity, without the frantic Moscow press and the empty talk of politicians ...
