Forty-five year old Svetlana Alliloyeva fled Russia in 1967 to take her husband's ashes to India. Here she applied for asylum in the United States; after a delay by Washington, she arrived in New York City and was greeted by the press corps. Her privacy vanished in an instant. In 1971, Mikele Stillman interviewed Svetlana on "The Farm Hour" WISC-TV (CBS), Madison. Svetlana was living in Spring Green, Wisconsin, and recently married to Wesley Peters. Her survival instincts were always on high alert. She wrote Twenty Letters to a Friend, and Portraits of Her Father's Life, a cautionary tale.
