Rest in peace Ruth Hampel who has died aged 96. Her extraordinary life story - which could be dubbed Stalin and m, as she's the daughter of European Communists who went to live in Soviet Russia in the 1930s. Amazing story of what happened to idealists in the Workers' Paradise... and if you survived the Purges, during the 'Great Patriotic War'. Plus a fruit tart recipe which came from her mother
