According to BBC Radio this morning, Stalin died 60 years ago today,which made me think of his granddaughter,Olga (or Chrissie as she preferred to be known).She was one of my Prefects when I worked as a Housemistress/Teacher in a boarding school in UK.
Her mother,Svetlana, died this year but I have no idea where Chrissie is now. Here she is at the school, aged 17, with me and my matron.I was not the conventional housemistress type, as you can see....but then she was not the conventional Prefect either.I think she used to abscond at night sometimes to meet the locals in the village!
Behind the horrors of a a dictator there is also a son, a husband, a grandfather.Well, here is the grand daughter.
