Source for the Stalin stuff? Getting contradictory views from the replies thus far.
When he was in exile/prison in Siberia he ostensibly had a child with a 14 year old from the village by the work camp. AFAIK the claim comes from his alleged descendant (IIRC they're claiming Stalin is their grandfather?) and there are no contemporary sources on it. I think there was talk of doing genetic testing between them and his known relatives, but I don't know what happened with that.
Her name was Lidia Pereprygina and Stalin and her had two children, one died as an infant. He was 35 and living in exile in Kureika after getting moved around in various work camps. He had gotten arrested at a Bolshevik masquerade ball of all things
It was March 1914. She was 14 years old. Stalin left sometime between winter 1916 and March 1917, then never spoke to her again nor had any interest in his son with her.
