Part of our occasional series, Interesting but useless trivia. Trivia that is certainly interesting, but yeah, pretty useless in the grand scheme of things. Not likely to result in a promotion, raise, or your next big career move.
Josef Stalin (1878-1953), who led the Soviet Union for nearly 30 years, from the mid-1920s until his death, has a granddaughter living in Portland, Oregon. Chrese Evans, 48, is the daughter of Stalin’s only daughter, Svetlana Alliluyeva. Svetlana died in 2011 at the age of 85, right here in Wisconsin.
