i've seen them all. style and took note of the young activists soon after that burial was appointed head of the georgian communist party. immediately began planting loyalists in camp posts as for the man who had introduced him to stalin beria now considered him a nuisance. in december nine hundred thirty six very invited nestor like oh but to dinner a few hours later suddenly felt sick. everybody in our pas you knew that he had been poisoned and people know it to be true you report it to doctors since it is much a branch of bob's and similar gene if it were eliminated there in them. body was taken from the georgian capital to have has the word was given a state funeral in sioux homes but gardens that was shortly before nine hundred thirty seven the year of the most massive political crackdown in a soviet union we were what it was a hero's funeral the way to read from tbilisi but he didn't turn up for it i think

yuri bernier has spent his whole life here after he was labeled a son of an enemy of the people he lived for the stigma for fifteen years he was 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 the crackdown on enemies of the people in this region was especially harsh all the while stalin and beria vacationed in nearby colleges. let's get that when i was a schoolboy i saw beriah several times it 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 to look like a man wanting to boss everybody around. for many years whenever up has in families go together even mentioning the names of relatives spread of as enemies of the people with dangerous nowadays when guests visit yuri benny as grants and heavy

hands in a vessel in the form of a horn reserved for special occasions. a guests drink wine from simple looking glasses of the first toast has no festive undertones they are going to drink wine to commemorate the victims of the repressions unleashed by stalin and beria yesterday we remember all the rules who are 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 in. moscow the bianca square house number two. this is the headquarters of the soviet union secret police beriah took charge of this government department in latin

thirty it after moving to the soviet capital from georgia it was originally educated as a builder but unlike his fanatical predecessors he took a more practical approached. just words. to nine hundred thirty eight and the reign of terror changed under the area it didn't come to learned but was less message in scope and it was no focused on particular tasks there it's a good old system and incorporated into the soviet economy. one of lot of near lennon's associates until nov of sankoh was executed in one nine hundred thirty eight his son anton spent nearly thirteen years in the girl like he knows from his own experience how soviet economic progress was achieved in the one nine hundred thirty s. and the price paid for it he worked at numerous giant construction sites and was almost blind when he left prison camp you know each day we work for twelve hours on and bust their own three prime the barracks and back behind green exhausted even

a toxicological love or tree of the n.k.v.d. . here scientists tested poisons on people sentenced to death later top soviet leaders authorized the use of such poisons and politically motivated assassinations . the laboratory head 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 be there it was later told i received instructions from above who cause i guess it was stolen he told him to supply the n.k.v.d. with poisons tested on humans. today

a significant number of russian communists are campaigning to have feria exhilarated they feel he was one of stalin's best managers but modern day communists preferred not to mention the price people paid for various kind of order . at the border which various 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 it he just did it and that's. sorted before the end of world war two burial was given a top secret joy of. overseeing the filament of the soviet atomic bomb. stalin ordered beriah to coordinate the cooperation between soviet spies that were hunting out scientific information in the west and the u.s.s.r. as nuclear physicists only a few people knew about various tasks. download

a deadline they told us you'll wish you were dead. on august twenty ninth one thousand forty nine a semicolon instead has sight and has a stand command bunker gave the order to settle. here we've none of those present and had ever seen anything like it we were is done . after the explosion but we remain shocked for a long time now. this is one of the caricaturist depicting beriah style of management here he is shown pressing subordinates down for poor performance. the 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 to

date we honor one such person whose deeds are immense his name is love green tea here. and there and done feeling a little bit confused. though it seems that it's common to be praised in such meetings and i have to live with it. one of the few people who had the guts to collide with beria head on was dr pilcher kept pizza who would later be awarded the nobel prize in physics he was one of the chiefs of the soviet atomic project and its initial stages when the scientists complained to stalin about beria instantly became the worst enemy and bury as ice. covered bierria as the conductor's baton in his hands that's not bad but then this scientist last play first filing the conductor's job is not only willing to put on

but also understanding discord understanding scores is not derrius strong point of the army general who is to tell. the story she was in stalin's office when very interesting and again kirsten. there is shouted i've had enough of him it's high time he was dealt with stalin set firmly i'll take care of it but leave him alone. in the spring of one nine hundred fifty three stalin died even though his body had not yet been buried a power struggle unfolded between his close associates with barry at the forefront . of the spoiled relations all those who had been in stallings inner circle everything he did after the stall and points to the fact that he was pursuing his only jungle. his interior ministry even collected compromising materials to discredit his opponents they gave rise to conspiracy theories that he sought to seize power. in 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. barea was dubbed the foreign spy acting against the interests of the soviet union a charge a typically been used against most of the political prisoners that ended up and. this is how i found out there is a rest. talking about god knows an appropriate. well but at that time i thanked god and providence when i made inquiries in the commandments office where i was in for amnesty that i was surprised a few days you'll be ok sort of. central moscow today this building houses the chinese you never see in russia but from the one nine hundred thirty s. until his arrest it was levante barrios residence none of his relatives saw him alive after he was detained later that gave rise to rumors claiming the area had

been shot in his home before he was due to be arrested this was armored personnel carriers with soldiers inside pressure the gate leading into the courtyard security personnel rushed out of the house to see what was going on we bury came to the window to investigate the commotion and at that moment she was hit by machine gun fire it was a military like approach. most historians do not subscribe to that theory one of them nikita patrol has found out that a girl living in a house across the road from the mansion of the interior minister saw beriah during his trial. broke into tears up to bury him later drawing going to. kill legit is said well you would be in your silly girl if some weakling had got hold of you he would have given you your jewish rule those would sum up their it better than anything else. he deprives me of the joys of childhood in youth as you look into his evil deeds list taken over to his

moral cat's rethinks he's a pervert and then children. do you admit that you committed a crime against her stall and. i only admit that i shouldn't have had contact with just over what i supported her materially on a regular basis. during interrogation beriah confirmed that he had had numerous liaisons for many years now eagerly patching co has been trying to prove that the notorious former secret police chief is his grandfather according to him area met his grandmother in one of the secret towns in the urals when he was on a business trip there. were comics lewd in there it was that he used to be behind these buildings there is a fair chance that my grandfather was among them. lorraine she very often showed up

in the street. with more likely than not he met my grandmother here and i believe her he fathered a son my father is going there a very both. never saw his father he was raised by adoptive parents who never discussed the matter many still see laplacian co as a fraud. is one of the most active defenders of various names and he is still quite sure of a barrier is his grandfather. who could move some time ago i was even playing with the idea of changing my name but i was advised to take a d.n.a. test first so that the result could be backed up with official peepers no my sit a few i'm none other than a beary and i'm dead sure of it without any tests being. episodes of rape and extramarital relations have little effect on the outcome of various

trial his former associates in the kremlin had already sealed his fate shortly before he was arrested the prosecutor's office and the judge simply rubber stamp their decision many saw barrier as too dangerous to let him live. for the whole affair came to a logical conclusion you think if you have a vicious attitude towards others or be ready to face the same added spirit in return in this case spirit filled victim to the laws system that he himself had protected and developed a show of you will. one of various most brutal deeds came to light not long ago after the declassification of special archives this folder containing the so-called caton case was handed over to poland shortly before the breakup of the soviet union one of the documents is a memo 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 accounts or revolutionary activity everybody is eagerly looking forward to their release to be able to join the struggle against the soviet government. of the use of sardines are necessary to subject them to execution as the last sanction of the law signed the area people's commissar with internal affairs it no doubt these are often think documents i'm sure authorised various proposal to take some cute polish 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 the soviet repression machine jettisoned that unnecessary and burdensome palace a father of renowned polish film director i'm jay vida was among the poles shot by various men. the federal felony in that any unlike my father most of those taken prisoner were not career officers 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 only in one thousand and thirty nine year old. yet another project sought by beria so the seeds of an interest in a conflict between georgians and i pads eons in the caucasus on his orders hundreds of families were forcibly moved from georgia to up has here in the one nine hundred

thirty s. and forty's following the devastation caused by mass repressions there that triggered the erosion and simulation of the i pads in population. the houses that were built under the project have survived or not has he is rural areas to this day but nobody lives there now. not old enough village residents still refer to them as various tells us 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 that broke out then drove georgians out of has here . 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.

as for burial there are no monuments to him alive has he and now there is not even a trace of his parental house in the village of nashville. for your normal love rented various else used to stand behind i was ruined building for you are. nothing but tall weeds girl there. neither man nor beast there venture through their. people in up has he respects long running through dish and in accordance with one of them dead people deserve either praise or no mention at all the only reminder to this day of stalin's right hand man of renting beriah are ruins and waste land and nothing else.
