Description

Svetlana Stalin orders her father "to stop shooting"

Unique hand-drawn 'official order' from Stalin's daughter endorsed at the conclusion by the Russian ruler, one page, 6.75 x 8.75, 1934. One of Svetlana Stalina's playful 'official orders' to her father, Joseph Stalin, handwritten in Cyrillic in blue and red pencil, with a decorative emblem and flourishes. At the top, Svetlana has drawn "Top Secret,” with "Order #21" below. She writes: "Order you to stop shooting. All 440 guns and revolvers with ammo should be moved to warehouse." Beneath that, Joseph Stalin endorses the order in black pencil. In fine condition. Svetlana wrote about these notes to her father in her autobiography, Twenty Letters to a Friend.
