It is no secret that Russian dictator Joseph Stalin was one of the great terrors of humanity.

However, his granddaughter has lived her life very differently than he would have liked.

For one, she has settled down in America.

Chrese Evans, who is the youngest child of Stalin’s daughter, is a 44-year-old who lives in Portland, Oregon.

Her loving mother said she is “American as apple pie,” a fact that the Russian despot would not be too fond of.

Evans has tattoos and owns a small antique shop.

She can also be seen here, posing with a large gun, in an homage to the comic book “Tank Girl.”

Her mother, who died five years ago, was also not a fan of Stalin.

Chrese Evans spoke to Daily Mail and said as much:

“My mother’s whole life has been about living this [her association with Stalin] down and trying to lead a new life of her own.”

She also said that her mother tried to protect her from the family legacy.

They had a special relationship:

“It wasn’t a part of my past at all, until I was a young teenager, because she kept me very, very sheltered from it. “She always called me American as apple pie. “She wanted me – she always wanted to protect me from the hardships that she had had to go through. “We had a very special relationship.”

Joseph Stalin died in 1953, more than 60 years ago.

His granddaughter, however, lives on.
