People who left their mark in history or art are still remembered, although quite a long time has passed since their departure. Each of them had families, children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Contrary to popular belief that the heirs of geniuses are not able to compete with their famous ancestors, some of them decide to follow in the footsteps of celebrities and even achieve some success. True, not all of them.

Anna Brodskaya-Sozzani

The youngest daughter of Joseph Brodsky was born in the poet's only official marriage with Maria Sozzani. Anna was only three years old when her father passed away. Today she is 28 years old, she lives in Italy and does not speak Russian at all. During her visit to Russia for the celebrations dedicated to the 75th anniversary of Joseph Brodsky in 2015, Anna visited Russia for the first time. Then she said that she herself writes poetry, but dreams of becoming an illustrator. Now the poet's heiress avoids publicity in every possible way and devotes all her time to the upbringing of her eight-year-old daughter. It is known that Anna Brodskaya-Sozzani is a staunch vegetarian, and she lives on income earned from copyright to the legacy of Joseph Brodsky.

Thomas and Paul Einstein

The great-grandchildren of the genius physicist Albert Einstein chose completely different directions for their professional activities. Thomas Einstein received his medical degree and currently works at an outpatient surgery clinic in Los Angeles. He knows four languages and never uses the name of his great-grandfather for personal gain, so he does not even mention his relationship with Albert Einstein in his resume. Paul Einstein was fond of music from childhood and as a result became a violinist. Lives in France.

Aleida Guevara

The legendary revolutionary had five children. But the four heirs of Che Guevara prefer to lead a closed lifestyle, while Aleida Guevara is a public person. She is a pediatrician by profession, and has worked in medicine all her life, specializing in the study of allergic reactions. She often visited third world countries, where she treated children. In addition, Aleida is actively involved in political activities, is a member of the Communist Party of Cuba, opposes the exploitation of the famous photograph of her father for commercial purposes. In addition, Aleida is a human rights advocate and lecturer at the University of Leicester.

Sean Lennon

The youngest son of the legendary musician John Lennon followed in his father's footsteps and became a musician. At birth, he received two names - Sean Lennon and Ono Taro. He was born on his father's birthday - October 9, and Elton John baptized him. Sean starred in Michael Jackson's Moonwalker at the age of 13. In total, he played in six films, and also released three of his albums and several singles. He is friends with the sons of John Harrison and Paul McCartney and writes the scripts.

Chris Evans

Joseph Stalin's granddaughter lives in the United States, loves tattoos, has 14 piercings and does not want to hear anything about her grandfather, whom he considers a tyrant. She changes her hair color every month, uses drugs and dreams of ecstasy flowing from the tap like water. She changed many professions, tried herself in the field of antiques, wrote monologues for stand-up comedians, sometimes went on stage. Chris currently lives in Portland and works at Three Monkeys, which sells vintage and second hand.

Una Chaplin

The granddaughter of the famous comedian also became an actress and even achieved some success in this field. At least, filming in the popular TV series "Game of Thrones" in 2012-2013 helped Una become famous all over the world as the performer of the role of Talisa Maigir Stark, thanks to which she was nominated for the Screen Actors Guild Award. Una continues to actively act in films and hopes to someday become the owner of the Oscar.

Andrey Korolev

The grandson of the famous designer of rocket and space systems after graduation did not begin to conquer technical universities. He saw his vocation in saving people, entered the medical school and today is one of the best and reputable trauma surgeons in Russia. He is distinguished by outstanding organizational skills, became the founder of the Russian association of specialized specialists in the field of sports traumatology, knee surgery and arthroscopy. In addition, Andrey Korolev is a consultant to the country's leading sports clubs. By the way, Elon Musk, after talking with the grandson of Sergei Korolev, invited him to visit his factories and even watch one of the launches.

Diana Widmaier Picasso

Pablo Picasso's granddaughter did not become an artist, but chose a related specialty and is currently one of the most famous and respected art historians in France. Diana Picasso's expert opinion is appreciated all over the world, so she often collaborates with museums in different countries. She is keenly interested in the legacy of her brilliant grandfather, writes books and essays, and is also preparing for release a voluminous catalog with the works of Pablo Picasso, which will present the artist's three-dimensional works made of various materials, including bronze, plaster and paper.

Joseph Stalin had three children and at least nine grandchildren. The youngest of them was born in 1971 in America. Interestingly, almost no one from the second generation of the Dzhugashvili family even saw their famous grandfather, but everyone has their own opinion about him. Someone neatly tells their own children about their grandfather's crimes, while someone actively defends the "leader of the peoples" and writes books, justifying the difficult decisions that he had to make in difficult times.
