The rise of Stalin
Source 1: Stalin holding a young Soviet citizen

Stalin holding a young Soviet citizen, Gelya Markizova, aged 6, in 1935. Soon afterwards Stalin had her father shot and then had her mother murdered.

This did not stop this particular touching scene becoming a party banner, as you can see in the bottom left hand corner of the image.
