Twenty Letters to a Friend by Svetlana Alliluyeva had a profound impact on Svetlana Parshina during her childhood. Years later, Parshina tracks down the 82-year-old Alliluyeva, who was living incognito in a Wisconsin retirement home. After initial denials, Alliluyeva agrees to a rare interview, discussing her education, marriages, children, and humanistic philosophy, as well as her CIA-assisted defection to the US and views on Cold War ideologies. The interview also delves into her childhood, nanny, mother's suicide, and brothers' tragic fate, including her famous father Joseph Stalin.
