dated in 1936? The few I read, is the sad story that a year after the picture with Stalin was taken, her parents were accused of spying and murdered...is a sad story..but anybody knows what happened with her? Is she still alive?
Anybody knows what has become of Gelya Markizova the little girl giving a bouquet to Stalin in a picture?
I saw an interview with her on a Stalin bio. on the History Channel. I have no idea how old the documentary was but at the time she appeared as a woman of 60sh (my best but probably lousy guess). She recounted that about a week after the picture, her father was arrested and though he was sure it would be cleared up, she never saw him again. I think that she and her mother were subjected to the usual hardships that accompanied arrests like these, they were at least not killed and were spared the gulag.
