Stalin, Chaplin, Dostoevsky: what the descendants of people who have gone down in history look like

The lives of people who have changed the world of literature, cinema and history itself have always been and will be interesting to those around them. Even after the deaths of the greats, curiosity does not wane either to them or to their descendants. The latter are especially interesting for ordinary people: after all, children will need to make colossal efforts to surpass their unique parents, or at least achieve the same success.

Stalin's granddaughter

The youngest granddaughter of I. V. Stalin lives in the USA from his daughter Svetlana Alliluyeva. Her real name is Olga Peters, but she changed it to Chris Evans. The girl leads the life of an ordinary person: she works as a saleswoman in her own antique shop, loves to walk the dog, Mexican cuisine and extravagant style of dress. Chris does not speak Russian, always avoids talking with journalists about his world-famous grandfather, but is highly active on social networks.

Brodsky's daughter

After moving to the United States, Brodsky met the charming Italian Maria Sozzani, who was his student. Maria is 30 years younger than Joseph Alexandrovich, but this did not prevent her from winning the heart of a Nobel Prize laureate. The couple got married, and shortly after the wedding they had a daughter, Anna Alexandra Maria. When the girl was only 3 years old, the great poet died.

Now Anna is married and lives in Italy on the funds that she is entitled to as the heiress of copyright for publishing the books of Joseph Brodsky. The girl was in Russia only once and admits that she did not read all of her father's works.

Dostoevsky's great-grandson

Despite the fact that Dmitry Dostoevsky is the great-grandson of the great writer, outwardly they are similar to each other like father and son. He was born and lives in St. Petersburg, graduated with honors from school, but did not begin to receive higher education.

According to Dmitry himself, he wanted "to gain as many impressions as possible": there are 28 entries in the work book of Fyodor Mikhailovich's direct descendant. The writer's great-grandson tried to work as a tour guide, tram driver, and taxi driver. Now Dmitry is already retired, he has an adult son and four grandchildren, one of whom was named Fedor in honor of a great relative.

Charlie Chaplin's granddaughter

The granddaughter of the famous silent film actor Oona Chaplin followed in the footsteps of her ancestor: the girl became famous for her role in the acclaimed Game of Thrones, where she played Talisa Maigir. In addition, Unu will soon be seen in the sequel to Avatar.

In fact, the girl's entire family is somehow connected with the film industry: her mother was also an actress, and her father was a cameraman. Chaplin's granddaughter, following their example, decided to graduate from the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art so that her grandfather could be proud of her.

Yeltsin's grandson

The first president of Russia has a great legacy: 6 grandchildren. The most famous of them was the son of Tatyana Yumasheva, Boris Yeltsin Jr. For the most part, he was remembered by the public as a major and a playboy, although now the man is a quite serious businessman. At one time, Boris studied at MGIMO, and at Moscow State University, and at Brown University in the United States, but did not graduate from any higher educational institution.

Yeltsin Jr. is also known for his numerous novels with famous beauties and models, none of which ended in a wedding. Now he travels a lot, has opened an elite kindergarten "Interesting" and is thinking about the restaurant business.

Leo Tolstoy's great-granddaughter

Leo Tolstoy had 14 children, five of whom died in childhood, but the remaining nine survived - now there are more than 350 descendants of the great writer living in 25 countries of the world. Most of them are direct relatives by his beloved son Lev Lvovich, who had 9 children from the Swede Dorothea Westerlund.

After the October Revolution, Dorothea took the children away from Russia. Among them, the famous European jazz singer Victoria Tolstoy now stands out. The girl chose such a surname not by chance: she is proud of her family connection with her great great-grandfather. Although Victoria does not speak Russian, the girl often turns in her work to Russian classical composers and even called one of the albums “My Russian soul”.
