The World - News from March 31, 1986
The father of Josef Stalin’s granddaughter said he knows nothing of a British report that the 18-year-old girl has returned to the United States from the Soviet Union. Arizona architect William Wesley Peters said that if the report by the Sunday Times of London is true--that his American-born daughter, Olga, has returned as a result of a secret U.S.-Soviet agreement--”I would know about it.” Olga’s mother, Svetlana Alliluyeva, Stalin’s only daughter, reportedly wants to return to the West. Alliluyeva defected to the West in 1967 but returned to the Soviet Union with her daughter in 1984.
