About Nadezhda Alliluyeva in brief
Nadezhda Sergeevna Alliluyeva (1901 – 9 November 1932) was the second wife of Joseph Stalin. Born in Baku to a revolutionary and friend of Stalin, she was raised in Saint Petersburg. The two married when she was 18, and they had two children. She had several health issues, which combined with her interest in pursuing an independent, professional career led to frequent arguments with Stalin, who wanted his wife to maintain a domestic role. On several occasions she contemplated leaving Stalin, and after an argument shot herself the night of 9 Nov 1932. She was the mother of Vasily Vasily, Stalin’s first son with his first wife, who died of typhus in 1907. She also had a daughter, Olga, who was married to Stalin’s second son, Alexei, who later became the leader of the Soviet Union. She died of a heart attack at the age of 48. She is buried in the Pecherskoye Cemetery in Moscow, along with her husband and their two children, Alexey and Olga Fedotenko, and their daughter Olga’s brother, Fyodor. Her funeral was held on the anniversary of her death, November 25, 1932. Her husband, Stalin, is buried next to her, and her daughter is buried with her mother in Pechesky, near Saint Petersburg, Russia. She never had any children of her own, but had several illegitimate children who were adopted by wealthy families. She left school at 14 to live with her father, Sergei Aliluyev, in Tiflis.
She became a supporter of the Bolsheviks while in school, and helped hide Vladimir Lenin during the July Days of 1917. She worked as a secretary for Bolshevik leaders, including both Vladimir Lenin and Stalin, before enrolling at the Industrial Academy in Moscow to study synthetic fibres and become an engineer. In 1918, she and Stalin moved to Moscow, joining other Bolshevik leaders as the capital was transferred there. They took up residence in the Amusement Palace of the Kremlin, occupying separate rooms. In 1921, after the birth of their first child, she quit her job and joined the People’s Commissariat for Nationalities, where he served as the head. Stalin wanted her to stay at home, and she would not be seriously taken seriously if she did not work outside the home. Historian Stephen Kotkin has suggested this was because Stalin wanted to take her back on as a full member of the Party. In 1924 she was admitted back on Lenin’s full status, but she was not admitted back until 1924, on Lenin’s encouragement. In 1925, she became a full Member of the Communist Party of the Russian Union. In 1926, she joined the Communist League, and in 1927 she became the first woman to do so. In 1928, she married Stalin, but was forced to leave the party because of Stalin’s involvement in the Civil War. In 1929, she moved back to Moscow to be closer to her husband.
