In the New Year’s Day 2011 edition of The Spectator (not to be confused with the American Spectator), former editor Alexander Chancellor reviews a book by writer Roy Kerridge, Stalin’s Schoolboy.
Kerridge grew up in a Communist household in London. His mother Thea was divorced from an physically and psychologically abusive husband, also a Communist. Unfortunately, Thea went on to have more abusive relationships with other leftists who also beat her. You can read the full story in the article.
