Forty-five-year-old Svetlana Alliluyeva fled Russia in 1967 to take her husband's ashes to India. Here she applied for asylum in the United States and 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.
