Summary A live interview telecast from New York City with Stalin's daughter. Svetlana Alliluyeva, who defected to the U.S. She has since become the subject of admiration and speculation in the free world-and the object of the Soviet Government's bitter condemnation. (Premier Kosygin recently called her "unstable" and a "sick person). Mrs. Allilyeva is expected to discuss the suppression of Russian intellectuals, her defection (for a time it appeared that she might not be granted asylum in this country) and her book "Twenty Letters to a Friend." She wrote her memoirs in Russia, and smuggled them out of the country when she visited India last year. The book recalls everyday life with her family; Kremlin figures such as Lavrenti Beria, Georgi Malenkov and Anastas Mikoyan; and memories of her mother's suicide and her father's political purges.
