WI a dictator/political leader is found to have had secret children?

On the contrary; 'fiction must be plausible, reality is under no such constraint.'

That's a statement true only in theory. In reality if we look at most stories for them to happen at all requires major violations of consistency, common sense, and in actual fact bureaucratic-fu. Reality, by contrast, does make sense at the human and evolutionary-biological levels. Albeit at the quantum physics level.....:eek::eek:
 
There's a brillant two part Italian film about this called "Vincere." Featuring a young Mussolini, his mistress and bastard child. Real gem.
 
Wikipedia Entry for Mussolini said:
Personal life

Mussolini was first married to Ida Dalser in Trento in 1914.[43] The couple had a son one year later and named him Benito Albino Mussolini. In December 1915, Mussolini married Rachele Guidi, his mistress since 1910, and with his following political ascendency the information about his first marriage was suppressed and both his first wife and son were later persecuted.[43] With Rachele, Mussolini had two daughters, Edda (1910–1995) and Anna Maria (Forlì, Villa Carpena, 3 September 1929 – Rome, 25 April 1968), married in Ravenna on 11 June 1960 to Nando Pucci Negri, and three sons Vittorio (1916–1997), Bruno (1918–1941), and Romano (1927–2006). Mussolini had a number of mistresses among them Margherita Sarfatti and his final companion, Clara Petacci. Furthermore, Mussolini had innumerable brief sexual encounters with female supporters as reported by his biographer Nicholas Farrell

Here's your man. Mussolini not only HAD his first marriage made secret, he was a dedicated womanizer.

Unlike Hitler or Stalin, I'd actually say that odds are pretty good that Mussolini has a child the world doesn't know about. Heck, given Mussolini's fortunes as Duce, the mother of said child might opt to conceal it entirely!

He put one Mistress in the mad house, which is what the above film is about. See it!
 
Anyways, on this subject, I recall a Frenchman claiming he was the secret love child between a WWI Hitler and a French woman, but if my memory serves me correct, this was proven false I do believe?
Cite? I only saw the first news story, and I was inclined to believe him...
 
"Had". She passed away some time ago.
She died last year, apparently. Just looked it up on Wikipedia. Consider that to be a reliable source, as I highly doubt the average person who doesn't know much about the Soviet Union and didn't live through the 1950s
knows that Stalin even had a daughter. ETA: Ididn't know Stalin had a daughter until I studied Russia in history.
