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.
