Everyone knows about her mother - Svetlana Alliluyeva, Stalin's daughter; her stormy life is still often written about. But Olga Peters, who now bears the name Chris Evans, is hardly mentioned in the press. They talked about her in the 1980s, when her mother returned to the USSR with her, and then, after her move to the United States, was forgotten for 35 years. And now Stalin's granddaughter has made people talk about herself again - lately she has periodically shocked users of social networks with photo shoots in the style of punk rock, piercings, radical haircuts and unexpected confessions …
In total, Joseph Stalin has 9 grandchildren, but this extravagant lady has always attracted the most attention. Olga Peters, the daughter of Svetlana Alliluyeva, who emigrated to the United States, was born on May 21, 1971. Five years earlier, Svetlana Alliluyeva escaped from the USSR and settled in Princeton (New Jersey, USA). She married the American architect William Wesley Peters and received American citizenship in 1978.
As a child, Olga Peters did not know about what her grandfather was known for, and did not understand why such attention was paid to her family. About how she found out the truth, Olga later told: "".
Journalists have always shown increased attention to their family, so they often had to change their place of residence. First, they changed several cities in the United States, then moved to England, in 1984 her mother decided to return to the USSR. There they lived for 2 months in Moscow, then 2 years in Georgia. At the age of 14, Olga left for England, and from there - again to America. After that, nothing was heard about her for a long time.
Svetlana Alliluyeva wanted her daughter to grow up American, and when she expressed a desire to change her name as a teenager, calling herself Chrissy after the heroine of her favorite sitcom Three is Company, her mother did not object. In one of her autobiographical books, Alliluyeva wrote: "".
Olga later told about her life's ups and downs: "".
Due to the constant moving, the girl did not have time to make friends, her mother did not like guests and yearned for her acquaintances who remained in the USSR, and Chris got used to loneliness from childhood. She never found a family and did not give birth to children. Of those close to her - only a friend-hairdresser Gino and a dog Sparta. Today, 48-year-old Chris Evans lives in Portland and works in a store that sells vintage fashion and antiques. Journalists show much less interest in her than in her mother, and it was only after her death in 2011 that she was twice asked to be interviewed. However, Chris herself does not express a desire to communicate with journalists. It wasn't until she was diagnosed with breast cancer that she turned to the public for help. Later, Chris announced that she had completed chemotherapy and was recovering.
From time to time, Chris Evans attracts attention on social networks. A real flurry of criticism was caused in 2016 by her photo shoot in the style of punk rock, where she posed in shorts, torn tights, a T-shirt with a target and a toy machine in her hands - in the form of an English comic book character. Chris is fond of piercings, she changes her hair color and haircut almost every month, and got a “Dear Mommy” tattoo on her arm. These photos have collected hundreds of comments online, from angry to comic, in the spirit of "Stalin's not on her!"
The attitude towards Svetlana Alliluyeva has always been ambiguous, even in her family: Why the children of Stalin's daughter did not forgive her for her escape from the USSR.
