Could he get some political career?

None of the children of leading Bolsheviks of the revolution went into politics, and if Court of the Red Tsar is to be believed, none of them wanted their children to go into politics.

here is Stalin's daughter. She is seated on the lap of the NKVD cheif Beria.

A really disturbing picture, given what we know about Beria now.

I read somewhere that Stalin once freaked out when his daughter were alone with Beria.

This is Stalin for all people, the Red Tsar himself...

A Beria-led USSR would be an... interesting place.

Interestingly, Beria favoured 'a new course' in East Germany, that would have seen East German leader Walter Ulbricht removed and a liberalisation of the German economy; in effect, his proposals would have reversed the 'Socialisation' policies that were crushing East Germany's economy. He was even willing to consider abandoning Eat Germany altogether and allowing a Reunified Germany, in return for guarantees of neutrality and considerable financial compensation from the FRG to the Soviet Union.

It's too bad he was one the most horrible human beings imaginable. I always pictured his as the Soviet Starscream for some reason.
 
He actually had a son named John, who changed his last name's spelling to avoid association with his dad. He went on to become a successful musician.
