Yevgeny Dzhugashvili has died
On 22 December 2016 Yevgeny Dzhugashvili - grandson of Joseph Stalin died in Moscow
His father - senior lieutenant Yakov Dzhugashvili - in July 1941 near Vitebsk was captured by the Germans in April 1943, and he later died in Sachsenhausen concentration camp.
Yevgeny Dzhugashvili was a member of the Central Control of Space Means in the Ministry of Defence of the USSR, took part in the preparation and launching spacecraft from the Baikonur "cosmodrome", including - launching of the ship's first cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin.
He taught at the Military Academy named after the M.V. Frunze Military Academy of the General Staff of the USSR Armed Forces and the Military Academy of Armored Forces. Candidate of Historical Sciences, a retired Air Force colonel.
In 1996 he became chairman of the Georgian society of the ideological heirs of Joseph Stalin, and in 2001 - General Secretary of the New Communist Party of Georgia.
Evgeni was a wonderful man, supremely honest, very friendly, always strived to help people, interesting to talk to.
On behalf of the Central Committee of the AUCPB and myself, I express deep condolences to the families and friends of Evgeni.
A good memory of him by all, who ever met or talked with him, will forever remain in our hearts.
