Grandson sues to clear Stalin over killings
Stalin’s grandson, Yevgeny Dzhugashvili, is seeking 9.5 million roubles ($299,000) from the Novaya Gazeta newspaper and 500,000 roubles from the author of an article published last April claiming Stalin personally signed politburo death orders.
Leonid Zhura, a convinced Stalinist who is representing Dzhugashvili in court, said that the article — based on declassified Kremlin documents — damaged Stalin’s reputation.blockquote>Ah ez speechless.
