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 a charge of typically been used against most of the political prisoners that ended up and grew like. this is how many there is a rest. we're talking about god knows an appropriate. but at that time i thank god and providence when i made inquiries in the commandments office whether i was in for amnesty that i was surprised to hear they says he'll be ok so read. central moscow today this building houses the trinity an embassy in russia but from the one nine hundred thirty s. until his arrest it was love ranty barrios residence none of his relatives saw him
