stripped of many rights such as being barred from studying at a legal institute. his family home was deserted in one thousand thirty seven fifteen relatives all of whom were well to do peasants were shot for refusing to join soviet collective farms a crackdown on enemies of the people in this region was especially harsh all the while stalin and beria vacationed in nearby colleges. but let's get past that when i was a schoolboy i saw the area several times he would come here with a wedding load of border guards and the area always wore eyeglasses would go down the road with his hands behind his back it looked like a man wanting to boss everybody around. for many years whenever and has in families got together even mentioning the names of relatives branded as enemies of the people was dangerous nowadays when guests visit yuri benny as grants and hands

him a vessel in the form of a horn reserved for special occasions. the guests drink wine from simple looking glasses but the first toast has no festive undertones they're going to drink wine to commemorate the victims of the repressions unleashed by stalin and beria. today we remember all the roles were oppressed in the prime of their lives the time has come for us to name their names without having to worry about a new crackdown there. let us never forget them. moscow lubyanka square house number two. this is the headquarters of the soviet union secret police varia took charge of this government department and later thirty it after moving to the soviet capital from georgia he was originally

a plank bed the whole time they were with thoughts about whether their wives and children had not been thrown out into the street simply because they were weighted to an enemy of the people but in that. area was also behind the establishment of secret research bureaus scientists and academics were rounded up on invention charges and forced into unpaid labor. author of the gulag archipelago alexander solzhenitsyn spent several years in one of them. needless to say having to work in confinement it was a negative experience for scientists moreover many of them were arrested as an excuse to make them work in those upshots they saw it as a chance to be released and of besides they weren't better chances for survival there than in a regular prison camp scientists were given better food and the work was not as harsh. one of various top secret projects was a toxicological love or a tree of the n.k.v.d.

. here scientists tested poisons on people sentenced to bath later top soviet leaders authorized the use of such poisons him politically motivated assassinations . the laboratory fairly is on record is reporting the following some one hundred convicts were used for the purpose more than half of them died as a result of the experiments. i wish to state categorically that i knew nothing about it. couldn't bear it was later told i received instructions from above who goes and you guessed it was stolen has told him to supply the n.k.v.d. with poisons tests done humans but i didn't. today a significant number of russian communists are campaigning to have beria exonerated

they feel he was one of stalin's best managers but modern day communists prefer not to mention the price people paid for various kind of order. at the border which variously treated people as nothing but a coggs in a machine. that's the way people were treated during those years whenever beriah was given a job to do and he just did it and that's. sorted before the end of world war two area was given a top secret job. overseeing the development of the soviet atomic bomb. stalin ordered marriott to coordinate the cooperation between soviet spies that were hunting out scientific information in the west and the u.s.s.r. was nuclear physicists only a few people knew about areas task. download

cartoonist was executed as an enemy of the people back in one nine hundred thirty eight beriah didn't think nearly as much of humor as he did of flattery. and today we honor one such person whose deeds are immense and his name is love green tea here. and this time feeling a little bit confused if truth though it seems that it's common to be praised in such cases and i have to live with it. one of the few people who have been guts to collide with beria head on was dr pilcher cup pizza who would later be awarded the nobel prize in physics it was one of the chiefs of the soviet atomic project and its initial stages when the scientists complained to stallin about beria instantly became the worst enemy and bury as ice. covered beery ashes the conductor's baton in his hands that's not bad but then this

the end his former associates saw beriah as a threat they decided to strip him of power by resorting to the very methods he used to deal with opponents. beria was dubbed the foreign spy acting against the interests of the soviet union the charge of typically been used against most of the political prisoners that ended up in gulags. this is how i felt about barry's arrest. talking about god knows inappropriate. well i said that time i thank god and providence when i made inquiries the commandments office wasn't for amnesty. i was surprised to hear this is be ok so rev. central moscow today this building houses the trinity and embassy in russia but from the one nine hundred thirty s. until his arrest it was lebron seabury as residents. of his relative saw him alive

after he was detained later that gave rise to rumors claiming that barry had been shot in his home before he was due to be arrested. two armored personnel carriers with soldiers inside crèche with a gate leading into the courtyard security personnel rushed out of the house to see what was going on we know very came to the window to be with us to get a commotion that no mention was hit by machine gunfire it was a military like approach. most historians do not subscribe to that theory one of them nikita petroff has found out that a girl living in a house across the road from the mansion of the interior minister saw barry a juror in his trial. she broke into tears after day related drawing of a. legend is said well you were being a silly girl if some weakling who go to hold of you it would have given you know you do it all those would some of their it better than anything else.

one of the documents is a member written by beria in it he suggests the execution of more than twenty thousand poles who ended up in soviet captivity in the autumn of one nine hundred thirty nine. top secret. to cameron stalin the polish prisoners of war are trying to continue their counter revolutionary activity everybody's eagerly looking forward to their release to be able to join the struggle against the soviet government the aim kavi the use of sardines it's necessary to subject them to execution as the last sanction of the law signed the area people's commissar when surnow affairs it. these art was sent to documents i'm sure stalin authorised various proposal to execute oldish army soldiers officers and other military personnel. the polish army officers were taken prisoner by soviet troops it happened after

a secret agreement was signed in august one thousand thirty nine between the soviet union and hitler's germany to divide poland into spheres of influence. thousands of captive poles found themselves in soviet camps soon afterwards to soviet repression machine jettison that unnecessary and burdensome palace the father of renowned polish film director and jay vida was among the polls shot by perry as man. there i mean unlike my father most of those taken prisoner were not korea offices rather they represented the polish intelligentsia. they were university professors high school teachers actors and artists among them. in short all those who had been drafted into the army in nineteen thirty nine you don't. get another project thought out by various sowed the seeds of an intra ethnic conflicts between georgians and i presence in the caucasus on his orders hundreds of families were

forcibly moved from georgia in one thousand thirties and forties following the devastation caused by mass repressions there that triggered the erosion and assimilation of the i pad's in population. the houses that were built under the projects have survived or not has he is rural areas to this day but nobody lives there now. not only in the village residence still refer to them as various houses the aim of the resettlement policy was to make sure that as many georgians as possible were settled and i was in religious. various time bomb eventually went off in the one nine hundred ninety s. half a century later. the civil war there broke out then drove georgians out of. their publics infrastructure was almost completely destroyed. today there is a monument to those who died in the war and mass oppressions outside each village.
