Execution of Lavrentiy Beria - Chief of Stalin's Secret Police & most hated man in Russia

Beria was a cruel, evil man who used his malignant power to terrorize thousands of people over many years. Yet, when they came for him, he begged and wept for his life. As my late father once said: "They all fall in the end." Beria was a human stain that was eventually erased.

[@rotwang2000]

Oddly enough one of the reasons why they may have moved on Beria was the fact that he was talking about defusing the Cold War, introduce small scale private business and reform the system in the long term. This probably scared the politburo more than his crimes did. The point is that everyone in the system had blood on their hands, but were more concerned about a course change in politics than murder, rape and evil acts in the name of an ideology.

@@rotwang2000 According to many reports everyone hated Beria, Zhukov wanted payback for the attempted arrest on him by Beria, and the remaining Politburo were definitely unwilling to let a man who has so much blood on his hands just go away. The others, at least some of them had blood (Lazar and Molotov, they helped Stalin organize the purges and the Holodomor), but some like Malenkov and Khrushchev and Zhukov had little to no blood on their hands, whatever were were because the options were to obey and survive Stalin or be brutally murdered alongside your family. But the thing is that in a Politburo surrounded by Stalinism, the only way you can have your way without suffering repercussions is by using the same accusations as were used in the system before, literally the only way to have your way when half of your Bureau is filled with neo-Stalinists. It was the only way Khrushchev could get rid of him, and begin destalinization.

I lived in Moscow until last year, and lived across the Garden Ring from Beria's house. It's now an embassy. He used to cruise Moscow late at night and if he saw a girl on her own, he would pick her up, take her home, rape her and kill her. He also tortured and murdered plenty of others in the basement of his house. There were bathtubs for dissolving bodies. For decades afterwards embassy officers would report screams in the house late at night and, occasionally, the figure of a naked girl running toward the front door with her mouth open in a silemt scream. She would always disappear before reaching the door. Edit: Oops, just reached this part in the video.

[@colder5465]

Yeah, you personally saw that. Especially bathtubs for dissolving bodies. Once again: Right after the war Beria was head of the Special Committee on developing and production of the atom bomb. Just try to understand what it was: developing and production of the atom bomb in a totally destroyed and ruined country and in a very short period of time. And time was of paramount importance: once again, Dropshot. Usually they like to say that Soviet spies stole the secret of the atom bomb OK, you are a Papuan on New Guinea. And you magically stole this secret. Would it be any help to you? Even if you have people for understanding what it is, you must build a whole bunch of industries to get materials suitable for the atom bomb. And you must find people capable of doing this, not mere charlatans who only promise and do nothing. You may say - what's the problem? Failed - shot . Ok, you shot this man and that one. But the result is absent! And you desperately need the result! No comparison to Manhattan project. For Americans this was no difference: have they the atom bomb, not have - the victory was guaranteed. For Hitler getting the atom bomb was equal to going to the Moon by foot. No chance. But for the postwar Soviet Union it was completely different: the USA was rapidly becoming a foe, it already had an atom bomb, very quickly produced them and developed plans of attacking the USSR. Are you able to understand responsibility which lied on that man - especially considering the fact that the word "failure" was impossible. The fate of the country was at stake. And responsibility is yours, personally yours. I highly doubt that in these circumstances you even not wanted women but simply had time for that.

What's tragically comic about all dictatorships, especially communist, is that those that rose up through the government ranks quickly due to a special talent in murdering people, and for a time wield a significant amount of power, continuing to rise, will ultimately be brought down hard by someone who is more badass. These leaders are able to wipe out their competition by being better at establishing relationships with the key people that will enable them to do so. In addition, I find it notable that when leaders that are not Russian, inherit power, they turn out to be the most bloodthirsty of all.

In Western countries we hear never ending stories about Nazi atrocities but scant information about the Soviet State pre WW2 and the couple o-f decades after 1945 which of course was equally barbaric. I’ve a theory about that.

[@sanjosemike3137]

It's because in the West, Leftists are constantly pushing Socialism and Communism. Especially in the Media and colleges. They are unwilling to discuss where these philosophies eventually end, with piles of corpses. What Leftist revolutionaries don't understand is that the quest for unbridled power always ends the same way. They start by "allegedly correcting the "faults" of capitalism only to consume their own. What Leftists don't understand is that if you are willing to sign the death warrant (to prove your loyalty to the revolution) for somebody you have known for 20 years as a friend, they will do the same thing against you.

@GTX1123 That is not really an appropriate comparison, it is more accurate to generally describe it as sociopathy, which applied to all of them. There can be and probably were psychopaths among them, but it is not necessarily the case. You have to remember that it was the system doing it, and they were along for the ride. They are of course responsible for their personal actions, but those personal actions are dictated by the system. Those kinds of systems are usually not kind to those who buck the rules, so to survive and prosper they had to be part of it, as did everyone else in the country. Autocracy is a hungry beast, it consumes everyone. The only real opportunity to do things differently would be to be the one who filled the power vacuum when the last top dog died, then there would be a chance to go a different route, but otherwise not, they had to perform the role they were assigned to perform.

Now the British and the US Army were able in May 1943 to defeat the Germans and the Italians in Tunis and invade South Italy.
