Tattooed Chrese Evans, 44, of Portland, Oregon — a Buddhist who runs an antique shop — is far removed from her notorious grandfather, Joseph Stalin, the former Soviet Union’s ruthless “man of steel.”

Svetlana Alliluyeva, Stalin’s only daughter, defected from the Soviet Union in 1966 and married Evans’ future father, architect William Wesley Peters.

I met Stalin’s daughter in the ‘80’s. Very nice lady. My BFF’s mom is a seamstress and had done some seamstress work for Svetlana and we delivered the clothes to her at the hotel she was staying at.

from what I have read, Svetlana led a rather unhappy and very unsettled life.
