Van wie was Brajesh Singh?

Brajesh Singh (Hindi: ब्रजेश सिंह, Kunwar Brijesh Singh or Brajesh Singh Lal; c. 1909 – 31 October 1966) was an Indian politician belonging to the Communist Party of India (CPI). He hailed from the royal family of Kalakankar near Allahabad, and his nephew Dinesh Singh was a minister in the Indian cabinet.

His first wife was Kunwarani Laxmi Devi, followed by Leela, an Austrian woman with whom he had a son named Victor Singh. Victor later moved to England, where he became a photographer. In 1963, while recuperating from bronchitis, Singh met Svetlana Alliluyeva, the only daughter of Joseph Stalin. The two fell in love while Singh was critically ill with bronchiectasis and emphysema. The romance deepened while the couple were recuperating in Sochi near the Black Sea.

Singh returned to Moscow in 1965 to work as a translator, but he and Alliluyeva were not allowed to marry. He died the following year, on 31 October 1966. In an interview on 26 April 1967, Alliluyeva said that she considered Singh to be her husband but that Aleksei Kosygin never allowed them to legally marry.

Svetlana Iosifovna Alliloejeva (Russisch: Светла́на Ио́сифовна Аллилу́ева, Georgisch: სვეტლანა ალილუევა), soms ook wel Stalina of Lana Peters genoemd (Moskou, 28 februari 1926 - Richland Center, Wisconsin, 22 november 2011), was het jongste kind en de enige dochter van Jozef Stalin. Zij was schrijfster en op latere leeftijd verkreeg ze de Amerikaanse nationaliteit. Haar verhuizing naar de Verenigde Staten in 1967 veroorzaakte veel internationale commotie.
