There is an old saying in China that tiger poison does not eat the child. It should be similar to people in the world. Why did Stalin arrest his daughter-in-law after his son was captured by the Germans? Does his wife have anything to do with his son's arrest? Actually, it's not. This story is very long. This also involves the situation in the Soviet Union at that time.
His father's miserable childhood in prison and his mother's death.
Let's start from the beginning. The full names of Stalin's sons are Yakov, Yue Se and Gyugashvili. His biological mother, Stalin's first wife, died of illness in the early 20th century. Yakov, who was only one year old at that time, met his father for the first time in prison. Since then, Yakov has been taken care of by his uncle and aunt.
It was not until 13 years later that Yakov, who was still a teenager, first came to the magnificent Kremlin in Moscow. He looked at a strange and serious father, a well-dressed and atmospheric stepmother, and a baby's brother and sister.
Rebellious teenager, the first person to enter the Kremlin.
Yakov grew up in Georgia, knew nothing about Russian and studied hard. The language barrier made him form the habit of refusing to communicate with his parents, and Stalin was very disgusted with his rebellious character. Even Stalin once said to him: You are just a shoemaker.
But as a father and, after all, his own son, Stalin still loved him deeply. This sentence is also to prevent him from being too arrogant because of his position.
Marry a Jew against his father's will
But the more so, the more rebellious Stalin's son became. Knowing that Stalin didn't like Jews, he married a Jewish woman. This is you, Leah. He was later put in prison. Father and son often quarrel over this woman, and Yakov even almost shot himself. In this regard, Stalin only pretended to be contemptuous and said that he was not accurate in shooting.
Interestingly, Yakov married his wife on 1925, but divorced on 1928. Your Leah later married a Soviet agent. Curiously, for some reason, she was arrested and executed. Ten years later, Yakov and Julia remarried. The reason is not clear.
Captives in World War II
194 1 year, three years after they remarried. Yakov participated in the Great Patriotic War of the Soviet Red Army. This rank is lieutenant of tank division. Stalin was about to leave when he called and said, Go ahead, well played!
Later, Yakov was unfortunately arrested in Smolensk. Germans are like treasures. As a propaganda, the leaflet wrote in Yakov's tone:
Dear father, I am captured and healthy. I'm going to an officer concentration camp in Germany soon. I will treat me well. Wish you good health. Hello! Yasha.
Although the Soviet Union went to the rescue many times, they probably didn't know their own direction and didn't return successfully. Finally, many spies were eliminated. Stalin was furious and had nowhere to vent. After the defeat, his son was captured, and even his spy system buried in the German army suffered heavy losses. The Germans also want to ask Marshal naples to exchange with Yakov. Stalin flatly refused me to change a marshal and a lieutenant. Stalin was even more angry at this time, and even Germany refused to exchange Hitler's nephew Leo.
Stalin, War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression, destroyed the country and defended the country.
At that time, the Soviet army was in a panic, and the theory of failure and surrender was rampant. In order to save the overall situation, stabilize people's hearts and boost morale. He showed it to the Soviet Union and the outside world in a selfless image. He even decided that his son was a traitor to the Soviet Union because he surrendered and became a prisoner of war. He is more angry with his daughter-in-law, that is, Jewish woman Julia. He doesn't like her. He put her in prison on charges of being a German spy. Yakov was not released until his death.
