The former Soviet leader Stalin was a controversial and mysterious historical figure. His historical merits and demerits have been made public one after another many years after his death. But his private life has been classified as the top national secret by the former Soviet Union and today's Russian intelligence secrecy agency. If some documents from the KGB’s top-secret archives hadn’t finally been opened to the public, Stalin’s love affair with Siberia might have remained a secret forever.

Regarding Stalin’s private life, the former Soviet Union and Russian officials revealed that he was married twice, had two boys and one girl, and was almost puritanical in his focus on love and marriage. The evaluation of life is very consistent - "Stalin can be called a mentor of family ethics and a very family-oriented person." However, Russia's most famous historian has discovered the unknown love of Siberia of the former Soviet strongman leader from top-secret files signed by the former head of the KGB.

The 34-year-old Stalin was exiled to a village with only more than 50 people near the Arctic Circle.

The 14-year-old girl Perelikina is one of the few literate people in the local area, which is also an important reason why she can talk to Stalin.

Perelikina is pregnant with Stalin's child.

In 1913, the 34-year-old Stalin was arrested by the authorities for participating in revolutionary actions against the Tsar and sentenced to two years of exile near the Arctic Circle in Siberia. The population of this settlement is only 50, and the living conditions are extremely harsh due to the year-round ice and snow.

A year later, he met the innocent girl Lidia Perelikina. At that time, Stalin was arranged by the Tsarist exile guards to live in the home of a local poor farmer. Despite the harsh conditions, during the long ice and snow season, they often gathered in Stalin's broken room to listen to him tell about the outside world he had experienced and the stories he had heard. Perelikina was one of his admirers.

14-year-old Perelikina is an orphan and lives with her brothers and sisters. Stalin told the girl that his father was a frustrated coppersmith who was addicted to alcoholism and died in a drunken fight; his mother supported the family by sewing for others. However, the mother was the daughter of an educated farmer, so she attached great importance to the education of her children. She wanted to train Stalin to become a priest and sent him to a missionary school. Relying on his talents, Stalin himself won a scholarship to the Tbilisi Theological Seminary in 1894, where he participated in the Georgian Nationalist and Socialist Secret Revolutionary Organization until he was exiled here due to his revolutionary actions.

Perelikina had the same misfortune. She told Stalin that her father had died long ago due to poverty and illness. Although her mother had not received formal education, she was somewhat literate, so she was very hopeful. Her children could be educated and prosper one day, so she encouraged Perelikina to read and become literate. Perelikina became one of the few literate people in the local area. This was also an important reason why she was able to talk particularly well with Stalin.

The same life experience, legendary experience, and the precociousness of the Russian girl made Perelikina fall into an unstoppable love for Stalin and could not extricate herself. The two fell in love, and in 1915 Perelikina became pregnant with Stalin's child.

When the affair between Stalin and Perelikina was exposed and spread to the ears of the prison guards, they decided to punish Stalin severely. According to the laws of the Tsarist era, the legal age for marriage for Russian women is 16 years old. Men who have a relationship with a girl under the age of 16, especially a man who has sexual relations, can be sentenced to death - execution! At this critical moment, Stalin, who heard the news, took the initiative to find the guards and said that he would definitely marry Perelikina, hoping to reduce the punishment.

Stalin and the villagers pleaded for mercy, and the guards received a lot of benefits from the villagers, so Stalin was spared death. Soon Stalin threw himself into the revolutionary wave, so he never returned to the village of Kuleika.

In the long years that followed, no one knew about the love affair between Stalin and Perelikina.

Khrushchev ordered the KGB to launch an unprecedented secret investigation into Stalin's private life.

The KGB even summoned Perelikina and asked her to reveal the details of her affair with Stalin.

Later, Khrushchev actually kept this secret and ordered the KGB to classify it as "top secret."

After Stalin's death, in order to discredit him, Khrushchev prepared to comprehensively criticize Stalin at the Central Committee of the Soviet Union and ordered the KGB to launch an unprecedented secret investigation into everything about Stalin, including his private life.

The history of Stalin’s exile in Siberia and his little-known love affair naturally did not escape the eyes of the KGB. During this period, the KGB even subpoenaed Perelikina and her son Alexander with Stalin, asking Perelikina to truthfully explain the details of her relationship with Stalin and her current living conditions. The KGB agents also extracted Alexander's blood sample was obviously used to test whether Alexander was Stalin's son. In the end, he warned the mother and son: "Don't reveal your love affair and your life experience to the outside world, otherwise you will be responsible for the consequences!". This made Perelikina's family panic for a long time, especially after Khrushchev opened fire on Stalin at the plenum of the Central Committee of the Soviet Union, Perelikina even felt that the end was coming. Fortunately, since this KGB investigation, no one has harassed the Perelikina family again, and it seems as if this never happened.

It wasn’t until the KGB opened the archives that we learned that although it was Khrushchev who pushed Stalin off the altar, lashed out at Stalin’s tyranny, and tried every means to belittle Stalin’s image, I don’t know why. Khrushchev did not reveal a word about Stalin's little-known love affair with Siberia, but if it was made public and used slightly, it would be enough to completely destroy Stalin's personal image. Instead, he ordered the head of the KGB, Igor Serov, to keep it secret and determined to Stalin's love affair was not allowed to leak out.

In June 1956, the third year after Stalin’s death, Serov personally signed Stalin’s Siberian Love investigation file, and designated the file as a state secret with a classification level of “Top Secret” " and locked the files into the KGB's top-secret archives. Since then, for nearly a century, no third person has known about Stalin's love affair.

Stalin had two official marriages. The eldest son died tragically in a Nazi concentration camp in Germany.

At the age of 24, the second son became the youngest major general in the Soviet Air Force. A serious flight accident occurred in an air force formation under command.

Stalin and Perelkina’s son Alexander also participated in World War II and the Korean War, and repeatedly made military exploits.

Slightly more is known about Stalin's two formal marriages. The first official marriage should be Stalin's luckiest marriage. Unfortunately, his wife Ekaterina died of illness, and she left behind a son, Yakov. Yakov was captured by the Germans during World War II. Stalin flatly refused Germany's offer to exchange Yakov for a German general captured by the Soviet Union. As a result, Yakov died tragically at the gunpoint of a Nazi in a German concentration camp.

Stalin’s second marriage was to Nadza, the 16-year-old daughter of the old Georgian revolutionary Alyuev. Nadza committed suicide in 1932. This marriage left Stalin with a son, Vasily, and a daughter, Svetlana. Stalin was very fond of his son Vasily from his second marriage. At the age of 24, Vasily became the youngest major general in the Soviet Air Force, but he was also an incompetent major general. Due to a serious flight accident in the air force formation under his command, Vasily was He was dismissed from all positions by his father, and eventually became addicted to alcoholism. He was imprisoned and died six years later due to excessive drinking. Stalin loved his daughter very much. Before she indulged in wine and sex, Stalin often affectionately called her "the cute little swallow", would write her affectionate notes, and would hug her when she cried sadly. Especially when her mother spanks her. What is shocking is that the beloved daughter finally fell into a sea of ??wine.

In fact, Alexander, the love child of Stalin and Perelikina, was also a boy. Perelikina married local farmer Yakov-Davidov and had several children together. Alexander took his stepfather's surname.

When he grew up, Alexander joined the Soviet Red Army and participated in World War II and the Korean War. After the war, as one of the demobilized officers with outstanding military exploits, he was assigned to work in a Siberian mining city, where he married, started a family, and gave birth to three children until his death in 1987.

During his lifetime, Alexander never mentioned a word about his father Stalin or the love affair between Stalin and his mother in front of outsiders, nor did the KGB inquire about him. It was also impossible to see the impact on his emotions after fully knowing his life experience. According to Alexander's colleagues and neighbors, when I think about it now, Alexander does look a bit like Stalin, but his personality is completely different. Unlike Stalin, who is cold and cold, Alexander has a very cheerful and lively personality and is willing to help. Others seem to be optimistic and very kind-hearted.
