Yakov Iosifovich Dzhugashvili (31 March [O.S.
18 March] 1907 – 14 April 1943) was the eldest of Joseph Stalin's three children, the son of Stalin's first wife, Kato Svanidze, who died 9 months after his birth.
His father, then a young revolutionary in his mid-20s, left the child to be raised by his late wife's family.
In 1921, when Dzhugashvili had reached the age of fourteen, he was brought to Moscow, where his father had become a leading figure in the Bolshevik government who eventually became head of the Soviet Union.
Disregarded by Stalin, Dzhugashvili was a shy, quiet child who appeared quite unhappy and tried to commit suicide several times as a youth.
Married twice, Dzhugashvili had three children, two who reached adulthood. Dzhugashvili studied to become an engineer, then — on his father's insistence — he enrolled in training to be an artillery officer.
He finished his studies weeks before Nazi Germany invaded the Soviet Union in 1941.
Sent to the front, he either surrendered or was captured by the Germans, and was held as a prisoner.
He died at the Sachsenhausen concentration camp in 1943.
It is not clear whether he committed suicide or was killed by camp guards.
