Yevgeny Yakovlevich Dzhugashvili (Russian:Евге́ний Я́ковлевич Джугашви́ли; 10 January 1936 – 22 December 2016) was aSoviet Air Force colonel. He was the son ofYakov Dzhugashvili, the eldest son of Soviet leaderJoseph Stalin, and gained attention as a defender of his grandfather's legacy.
Dzhugashvili resided inGeorgia, his grandfather's homeland.[1]
In the1999 elections of the RussianState Duma, he was one of the faces of theStalin Bloc – For the USSR, a league ofcommunist parties.
He founded the New Communist Party of Georgia, which was registered with the electoral authorities on 14 June 2001. The party contested but did not win any seats in the June 2004 elections inAdjara.[2]
In September 2009, Dzhugashvili made international headlines when he sued the Russian newspaperNovaya Gazeta after the magazine published an article claiming his grandfather personally signed execution orders against civilians.[3] On 13 October 2009, the Russian court rejected Dzhugashvili's case, stating that its reasons would be made public at a later date.[4] Dzhugasvili was given five days to appeal.[needs update]
In January 2015, responding to Russian PresidentVladimir Putin's macho acts in a video, where he appears shirtless and is seen taming and riding a horse, Dzhugashvili said it is "all a publicity stunt and only showed how the president was leading the country without brains".[5]The Independent additionally stated he had said "the mess in Russia would have been avoided if Stalin had lived for five more years".[6]
He was found dead close to his home inMoscow in December 2016.[1]
