Everything about Ekaterina Svanidze totally explained
Ekaterina Svanidze (
April 2,
1880 –
November 25,
1907) was the
Georgian first wife of
Joseph Stalin. They were married in
1903.
Ekaterina Svanidze, nicknamed Kato, was a tailor who worked for the ladies of the
Russian army. On the only photograph of her, she makes an elegant impression.
She had two sisters: Sachiko and Moriko. She had at least one brother, but some sources claim she'd more than one brother. Because her only known brother Alexander Svanidze spoke
German and
French and studied in
Germany, it's unlikely that her family was poor. Alexander Svanidze was married to Maria Korona, a singer at the Tiflis Opera.
She married
Joseph Stalin in
1903 in a church, and gave him a son,
Yakov Dzhugashvili. She died of typhus in 1907. Much of her family (including her sister Mariko and brother Alexander) would later die during her husband's
Great Terror.
Stalin would later state than other than his mother she may have been the only person he truly loved. At her funeral he told a friend that "with her died any human feeling in him."
