Ironically I just started reading a book written by Stalin’s daughter in the 60s where she happens to be telling about those very years. She referred to them as living simple and modest lives which included music, parties, cakes etc. And I was thinking to myself, wasn’t that exactly when Holodomor was??

   That’s what life was for her, as a sheltered little girl and then a privileged teenager isolated from reality. She simply didn’t see and didn’t know anything else!

     Plus it’s rather hard to see one’s parent as a monster.

       He treated her as a princess, and she never saw a monster until much later, as an adult who had a hot romance with a Jew. The Jew was made to disappear.
