Beria - a portrait of the era

Lavrenty Pavlovich Beria is one of the most famous and at the same time the most unknown statesmen of Russia.

Myths, lies and slander in his address almost exceed the number of mud, poured in the name of Stalin.

It is all the more important for us to understand who Beria really was.

"Elena Prudnikova"

On June 26, 1953, three standing near Moscow tank regiment received an order from the Minister of Defense - to load up with ammunition and enter the capital. The motorized rifle division received the same order.
Two aircraft divisions and a combination of jet bombers were ordered to await orders about a possible bombardment of the Kremlin in full combat readiness.

Subsequently, the version of all these preparations was announced: the Minister of the Interior, Beria, was preparing a coup d'état, which was to be prevented, and Beria himself was arrested, tried and executed. 50 years this version has not been questioned by anyone.

An ordinary, and not very ordinary person knows only two things about Lavrenty Beria: he was an executioner and a sex maniac. Everything else is removed from stories. So it is even strange: why did Stalin tolerate this useless and gloomy figure beside him? I was afraid that? Riddle.

Yes, not at all afraid! And there is no riddle. Moreover, without an understanding of the true role of this person, it is impossible to understand the Stalin era. Because in fact, everything was completely different from what people invented who seized power in the USSR and privatized all the victories and achievements of their predecessors.

The St. Petersburg journalist Elena Prudnikova, the author of sensational historical investigations, the participant of the historical-journalistic project “Mysteries of History” tells about a completely different Lawrence Beria in the pages of our newspaper.

“Economic Miracle” in the Caucasus

Many have heard about the “Japanese economic miracle”. But who knows about the Georgian?
In the autumn of 1931, the young secretary of law, Lavrenti Beria, was a very remarkable person. In 20, he led an illegal network in Menshevik Georgia. In 23, when the republic passed under the control of the Bolsheviks, it fought against banditry and achieved impressive results - by the beginning of this year there were 31 gangs in Georgia, by the end of the year only 10 remained. In 25, Beria was awarded the Order of the Red Banner. By 1929, he simultaneously became the chairman of the GPU of Transcaucasia and the authorized representative of the OGPU in the region. But, oddly enough, Beria tried hard to part with the KGB service, hoping to finally complete his education and become a builder.

In 1930, he even wrote a desperate letter to Ordzhonikidze. “Dear Sergo! I know you will say that now is not the time to raise the issue of study. But what to do. I feel that I can no longer. "

Moscow fulfilled the request with the exact opposite. So, in the fall of 1931, Beria becomes the first secretary of the Communist Party of Georgia. A year later, he was the first secretary of the Transcaucasian Regional Committee, actually the owner of the region. And about how he worked in this post, we do not like to speak very, very much.

Rayonchik Beria got one more. Industry as such did not exist. Poor, hungry outskirts. As you know, since 1927, in the USSR, collectivization was going on. By 1931, 36% of farms managed to be driven into the Georgian collective farms, but the population did not become less hungry.

And then Beria made a knight's move. He stopped collectivization. Left alone private owners. But in collective farms they began to plant not bread and not corn, from which there was no sense, but valuable crops: tea, citrus, tobacco, grapes. And it was here that large agricultural enterprises paid off one hundred percent! The collective farms began to grow rich at such a rate that the peasants themselves pushed them. By 1939, without any coercion, 86% of farms were socialized. One example: in 1930, the area of ​​mandarin plantations was 1,500 hectares, in 1940, 20 thousands. The yield from one tree has increased, in some farms - as much as 20. When you go to the market for Abkhaz tangerines, remember Lavrentiy Pavlovich!

In industry, he worked just as efficiently. During the first five-year period, the volume of gross industrial production of Georgia alone increased almost 6 times. For the second five-year period - even 5 times. In the other Transcaucasian republics it was the same. It was under Beria, for example, that they began to drill the shelves of the Caspian Sea, for which he was accused of extravagance: why bother with any nonsense! But now for the Caspian oil and for the routes of its transportation there is a real war between the superpowers.

Then Transcaucasia also became the “resort capital” of the USSR - who then thought about the “resort business”? By the level of education, already in the 1938 year, Georgia moved into one of the first places in the Union, and by the number of students per thousand souls overtook England and Germany.

In short, for the seven years that Beria was at the post of the “main man” in Transcaucasia, he rocked the economy of the backward republics so much that, up to the 90s, they were among the richest in the Union. If you look at the doctors of economic sciences who carried out the restructuring in the USSR, there is much to learn from this security officer.

But there was a time when not political chatterboxes, but economic managers were worth their weight in gold. Stalin could not miss such a man. And Beria’s appointment to Moscow was not the result of hardware intrigues, as they are now trying to present, but a completely logical thing: a person who works in the region in this way can be entrusted with big things in the country.

Distracted sword of revolution

We have the name of Beria primarily associated with repression. On this occasion, let me ask the simplest question: when were the “Beria repressions”? Date please! She is not. For the notorious "37 year" is the then NKVD chief Comrade Yezhov. Even such an expression was - "the fiston mitts". Post-war repression was also carried out when Beria did not work in the organs, and when he arrived there in the 1953 year, the first thing he did was to stop them.
When there were “Beria rehabilitation” - this is clearly recorded in the history. And “Beria's repression” is a pure product of “black PR”.

And what was really?

With the leaders of the Cheka-OGPU country had no luck from the very beginning. Dzerzhinsky was a strong, strong-willed and honest man, but, extremely busy with work in the government, he left the department for deputies. His successor Menzhinsky was seriously ill and did the same. The main cadres of the “organs” were the promoted workers of the times of the Civil War, poorly educated, unprincipled and cruel, one can imagine what situation there prevailed. All the more so since the end of 20's, the leaders of this department have become increasingly nervous about any control over their activities:
Yezhov was a man in the "organs" of the new, started well, but quickly came under the influence of his deputy Frinovsky. He taught the new Commissar the basics of KGB work directly "at work". The basics were extremely simple: the more enemies of the people we catch, the better; beat can and should be, and beat and drink - even more fun. Drunk from vodka, blood and impunity, the People's Commissar soon openly “swam”. He did not particularly conceal his new views from those around him. “What are you afraid of? - He said at one of the banquets. - After all, all power is in our hands. Whom we want - we execute, whom we want - we love: After all, we are all. It is necessary that everyone, from the secretary of the regional committee, go under you: “If the secretary of the regional committee had to go under the head of the regional department of the NKVD, then who, I wondered, should have gone under Ezhov? With such cadres and such views, the NKVD became mortally dangerous both for the authorities and for the country.

It is difficult to say when the Kremlin began to realize what was happening. Probably around the first half of 1938. But to realize - realized, and how to curb the monster?

The way out is to put your man, such a level of loyalty, courage and professionalism, so that he can, on the one hand, cope with the management of the NKVD, and on the other - stop the monster. Hardly Stalin had a large selection of such people. Well, at least one was found.

Curbing the NKVD

In 1938, Beria, with the rank of Deputy Commissar of Internal Affairs, became the head of the State Security Directorate, intercepting the controls of the most dangerous structure. Almost immediately, right under the November holidays, the entire leadership of the People's Commissariat was dismissed and mostly arrested. Then, placing reliable people in key positions, Beria began to understand what his predecessor had done.
Burrowed security officers were fired, arrested, and some were shot. (By the way, afterwards, once again becoming Minister of the Interior in 1953, you know which order Beria issued the very first? On the prohibition of torture! He knew where he was going.
The organs were cleaned cool: 7372 people (22,9%) were dismissed from the rank and file, 3830 people (62%) from the management team. At the same time, they began to investigate complaints and review cases.

Recently published data allowed us to estimate the scope of this work. For example, in 1937-38 years, about 30 thousand people were fired from the army for political reasons. Returned to service after the change of leadership NKVD 12,5 thousands. It turns out about 40%.

According to the most approximate estimates, since complete information has not yet been made public, only up to and including 1941 were released from the 150-180 prisons and camps thousands of people from 630 thousands of convicts in the Yezhovshchina years. That is about 30 percent.

It was not possible to “normalize” the NKVD for a long time and to the end, although the work was carried out right up to the very year of 1945. Sometimes you have to face absolutely unbelievable facts. For example, in the 1941 year, especially in those places where the Germans were advancing, they didn’t stand on ceremony with the prisoners - the war, they say, would write it off. However, it was not possible to write off the war. From 22 June to 31 December 1941 (the worst months of the war!), 227 NKVD employees were prosecuted for abuse of power. Of these, 19 people received the highest measure for arbitrary executions.

Beria owns another invention of the era - "sharashki". Among those arrested there were quite a few people very necessary to the country. Of course, these were not poets and writers, about whom they shout the loudest and loudest, but scientists, engineers, designers, primarily working on defense.

Repression in this environment is a special topic. Who and under what circumstances planted the developers of military equipment in the context of an impending war? The question is not rhetorical. First, in the NKVD there were real agents of Germany, who, according to the real tasks of real German intelligence, tried to neutralize the people useful to the Soviet defense complex. Secondly, there were no less “dissidents” than at the end of 80. In addition, the environment is incredibly quarrelsome, and denunciation in it has always been a favorite means of settling accounts and career growth.

Be that as it may, by accepting the people's commissariat of internal affairs, Beria was confronted with the fact that there were hundreds of arrested scientists and designers in his department, whose work the country simply needed to do.

As it is now fashionable to say - feel yourself Commissar!

Before you is the case. This person can be guilty, and can be innocent, but he is necessary. What to do? To write: “Free”, showing the subordinates an example of lawlessness of the opposite nature? Check things out? Yes, of course, but you have a cabinet in which 600 has thousands of cases. In fact, each of them must be re-investigated, but there are no shots. If we are talking about a convicted person, we must also ensure that the sentence is annulled. From whom to start? With scientists? From the military? And time passes, people sit, the war is getting closer ...

Beria quickly oriented. Already 10 January 1939, he signs an order to organize the Special Technical Bureau. The research topics are purely military: aircraft manufacturing, shipbuilding, shells, armor steel. From the experts of these industries, sitting in prisons, formed the whole group.
When the opportunity turned up, Beria tried to free these people. For example, the aircraft designer Tupolev 25 of May 1940 of the year was sentenced - 15 years of camps, and in the summer he was released under an amnesty. Designer Petlyakov was granted amnesty on July 25 and in January 1941 was awarded the Stalin Prize. A large group of developers of military equipment was released in the summer of 1941, another one - in 1943, the rest got their freedom from 1944 to 1948.

When you read what is written about Beria, it seems that he was the whole war and caught the "enemies of the people." Yes of course! He had nothing to do! 21 March 1941, Beria becomes vice chairman of the Council of People's Commissars. To begin with, he oversees the people's commissariats of the timber, coal and petroleum industries, non-ferrous metallurgy, and soon added ferrous metallurgy to this. And from the very beginning of the war, more and more new defense industries fell on his shoulders, because first of all he was not a Chekist and not a party leader, but an excellent production organizer. That is why he was entrusted with an atomic project in 1945, on which the very existence of the Soviet Union depended.

He wanted to punish the murderers of Stalin. And for that he himself was killed

Two leaders

A week after the start of the war, 30 June, an extraordinary authority was established - the State Defense Committee, in whose hands all power in the country was concentrated. Naturally, Stalin became the chairman of the State Defense Committee. But who entered the office besides him? This issue in most publications neatly costs. For one very simple reason: among the five members of the T-bills there is one unnamed person. In the brief history of the Second World War (1985 year of release) in the index of names given at the end of the book, where there are such vital people for victory, as Ovid and Sandor Petofi, Beria does not exist. He was not, did not fight, did not participate ... So: there were five of them. Stalin, Molotov, Malenkov, Beria, Voroshilov. And three representatives: Voznesensky, Mikoyan, Kaganovich. But soon the war began to make its own adjustments. Since February, 1942, Beria, instead of Voznesensky, began to oversee the production of weapons and ammunition. Officially. (And in reality, he was doing it already in the summer of 1941.) That same winter, in his hands is the production of tanks. Again, not because of some intrigue, but because he did better. The results of Beria's work are best seen from the numbers. If 22 June, the Germans had 47 thousands of guns and mortars against our 36 thousands, by November 1 1942, these figures were equal, and by January 1 1944, we had 89 thousand against German 54,5 thousands. From 1942 to 1944 years, the USSR produced thousands of tanks per month on 2, far ahead of Germany.

11 May 1944, Beria becomes the Chairman of the State Security Bureau and the Deputy Chairman of the Committee, in fact, the second person after Stalin in the country. 20 August 1945, he takes on the most difficult task of the time, which was a matter of survival for the USSR - becoming chairman of the Atomic Bomb Special Committee (there he performed another miracle - the first Soviet atomic bomb, despite all predictions, was tested only four years later , 20 August 1949 year).

Not a single person from the Politburo, and indeed not a single person in the USSR even came close to Beria in terms of the importance of the tasks to be solved, in the scope of authority, and, obviously, simply in the scale of the individual. In fact, the post-war USSR was at that time a double-star system: the seventy-year-old Stalin and the young — in 1949, he turned only fifty — Beria. The head of state and his natural successor.

It is this fact that historians of Khrushchev and post-Khrushchev hid so diligently in the silence hoops and under piles of lies. Because if 23 of June 1953 was killed by the Minister of the Interior, it still pulls the fight against the coup, and if the head of state was killed, then he is the coup, and there is ...

Stalin's script

If you trace the information about Beria, wandering from publication to publication, to its original source, then almost all of it follows from Khrushchev's memoirs. It’s impossible to believe in a person, since comparing his memories with other sources gives them an inordinate amount of inaccurate information.

Who just did not do “political science” analyzes of the 1952 — 1953 winter situation. What combinations did not come up with, what options did not count. That Beria was blocked with Malenkov, with Khrushchev, that he was on his own ... Only these analyzes sin — one, as a rule, completely excludes the figure of Stalin. It is tacitly considered that by that time the leader retired, was almost in marasmus ... One source - the memories of Nikita Sergeyevich.

But why, in fact, should we believe them? And the son of Beria Sergo, for example, during 1952, fifteen times, who saw Stalin at meetings devoted to missile weapons, recalled that the leader did not seem to be a weakened mind ... The postwar period of our history is dark no less than the Dorurikovskaya Russia. What happened then in the country, really, nobody knows. It is known that after 1949, Stalin took a few steps away from business, leaving the entire “routine” to chance and to Malenkov. But one thing is clear: something was being prepared. According to indirect data, it can be assumed that Stalin had conceived some very big reform, primarily an economic one, and only then, perhaps, a political one. Another thing is also clear: the leader was old and ill, he knew this very well, did not suffer from a lack of courage and could not help but think about what would happen to the state after his death and not look for a successor. If Beria were of any other nationality, there would be no problems. But one Georgian after another on the throne of the empire! Even Stalin wouldn’t go for that. It is known that in the postwar years, Stalin slowly but steadily squeezed the party apparatus from the captain's cabin. Of course, the functionaries could not be satisfied with this. In October 1952, at a congress of the CPSU, Stalin gave the party a decisive battle, asking to release him from his duties as general secretary. Did not work, did not let go. Then Stalin came up with a combination that is easy to read: a weak figure is obviously becoming the head of state, and the real head, the gray cardinal, is formally on the sidelines. And so it happened: after Stalin’s death, the first to become inactive was Malenkov, and in reality, Beria was in charge of politics. He not only spent the amnesty. He is listed, for example, with a decree condemning the violent Russification of Lithuania and Western Ukraine, and he proposed a beautiful solution to the “Germanic” issue: if Beria remained in power, the Berlin Wall simply would not exist. Well, in passing, he again took up the "normalization" of the NKVD, launching the rehabilitation process, so that Khrushchev and the company then had only to jump on the locomotive already underway, pretending that they were there from the very beginning.

It was then that they all said that they “did not agree” with Beria, that he “pressed” them. Then they said a lot of things. And in fact, completely agreed with the Beria initiatives.

But then something happened.

Calm This is a coup!

A meeting of the Presidium of the Central Committee, or the Presidium of the Council of Ministers was scheduled for June 26 in the Kremlin. According to the official version, military men led by Marshal Zhukov came to him, members of the Presidium summoned them to the office, and they arrested Beria. Then he was taken to a special bunker in the courtyard of the headquarters of the Moscow Military District troops, conducted an investigation and was shot. This version does not hold water. Why - talk about it for a long time, but it has a lot of overt exaggerations and inconsistencies ... We can only say one thing: none of the outsiders, disinterested people after 26 June 1953, Beria did not see alive. The last to see him was Sergo's son - in the morning, at the dacha. According to his memoirs, his father was going to call on a city apartment, then go to the Kremlin, to a meeting of the Presidium. Around midday, Sergo was called by his friend, pilot Amet-Khan, and said that Beria’s house had a gunfight and his father, apparently, was no longer alive. Sergo, along with a member of the Special Committee Vannikov, rushed to the address and managed to see the broken windows, broken doors, a wall, dotted with traces of bullets from a large-caliber machine gun.

Meanwhile, members of the Presidium gathered in the Kremlin. What happened there? Climbing through the heaps of lies, bit by bit recreating what was happening, we managed to approximately reconstruct the events. After Beria was finished, the executors of this operation — presumably they were military men from the old, still Ukrainian team of Khrushchev, whom he dragged to Moscow, led by Moskalenko — went to the Kremlin. At the same time, another military group arrived there. It was headed by Marshal Zhukov, and among its members was Colonel Brezhnev. Curious, right? Further, presumably, everything unfolded so. Among the putschists there were at least two members of the Presidium — Khrushchev and the Minister of Defense Bulganin (they are always referred to in their memoirs by Moskalenko and others). They put the rest of the government before the fact: Beria was killed, something must be done about it. The whole team unwittingly ended up in the same boat and began hiding the ends. Much more interesting is this: why did you kill Beria?

The day before, he returned from a ten-day trip to Germany, met with Malenkov, and discussed with him the agenda for the June 26 meeting. Everything was amazing. If something happened, in the last 24 hours. And, most likely, it was somehow connected with the upcoming meeting. True, there is an agenda, preserved in the archives of Malenkov. But, most likely, it is a linden. No information about what the meeting should really have been devoted to was not preserved. It would seem ... But there was one person who could know about it. Sergo Beria told in one of the interviews that his father had told him in the morning at the dacha that at the upcoming meeting he was going to demand that the Presidium sanction the arrest of the former Minister of State Security Ignatiev.
But now everything is clear! So that does not happen any clearer. The fact is that Ignatiev was in charge of the protection of Stalin in the last year of his life. It was he who was the man who knew what happened at Stalin's dacha on the night of March 1, 1953, when the leader had a stroke. And something happened there, about which, and many years later, the surviving guards continued stupidly and too obviously to lie. And so Beria, who kissed the hand of the dying Stalin, would have pulled out of Ignatiev all his secrets. And then he arranged a political process for the whole world over him and his accomplices, whatever posts they hold. This is just in his style ... No, these same accomplices should in no case be allowed to let Beria arrest Ignatiev. But how can you keep him? It remained only to kill - and that was done ... Well, and then they hid the ends. By order of the Minister of Defense Bulganin, a grandiose “Tank Show” was arranged (just as ineptly repeated in 1991). The Khrushchev lawyers, under the leadership of the new Prosecutor General Rudenko, also from Ukraine, staged a trial (dramatization is still a favorite occupation of the prosecutor’s office). Then the memory of all the good things that Beria did was carefully worn out, and vulgar tales about a bloody executioner and a sexual maniac were put into use. On the part of "black PR" Khrushchev was talented. It seems that it was his only talent ...

And he was not a sex maniac either!

The idea of ​​introducing Beria as a sex maniac was first voiced at the Central Committee Plenum in July 1953. The secretary of the Central Committee, Shatalin, who, he claimed, searched the office room of Beria, found in the safe “a large number of items of a male libertine.” Then the guard Beria Sarkisov spoke, telling about his many connections with women. Naturally, no one checked all this, but gossip was started up and went for a walk around the country. “Being a morally decayed man, Beria lived together with numerous women ...” - the investigators recorded in a “sentence”.

There is a list of these women. That's just bad luck: it almost completely coincides with the list of women cohabiting with whom General Vlasik, the arrest officer of Stalin, who was arrested a year before, was accused. Wow, how unlucky Lawrence Pavlovich. There were such opportunities, and women got exclusively from under Vlasik! And if without laughter, then it’s easy: take the list from the Vlasik case and add to the “Beria case”. Who will check? Many years later, in one of her interviews, Nina Beria said a very simple phrase: “Surprising business: Lawrence was busy working day and night when he was dealing with the legion of these women!” Ride along the streets, carry them to country villas, and then also to his home, where there was a Georgian wife and his son lived with his family. However, when it comes to denigrating a dangerous enemy, who cares what was really? ”

    Within the framework of the nuclear project in the 40s, the legendary Chelyabinsk "forty" was created, now it is the Mayak plant. For the anniversary of this city and the plant in the 90s, a book of memoirs of veterans was published. Even in those plague years, when many were blown away, no one remembered anything bad about Beria, quite the opposite. In his younger years, he himself served at the Semipalatinsk training ground, where veterans also remembered him rather well than badly. Therefore, I am not surprised at anything, and this article too. Everything in this world is possible. Great deeds are accompanied by great people; insignificant deeds are accompanied by insignificant people. Beria lived in a great time and did great things.

        "Even an animal, fierce and bloodthirsty, is not alien to pity. I am alien, so I am not a beast."
        We are unable to judge indiscriminately periods of history, or to judge whether the actions are worthy and unworthy. We can create history with our deeds and judge ourselves in the present without thinking about how we will be judged in the future.

        Alas, most of us have not gotten rid of the bloc of the Khrushchev thaw .. When the killers who rose to power began to sculpt the same killer from their comrade ... The scenario is so often consumed that it has already filled our teeth ... Any head of the special services, be it the NKVD , The KGB, the FSB and all the others, due to their unlimited access to the secrets of the pillars of this world, automatically become the enemy of shit bosses and cleaned by any means ... But people do not need to explain anything, the enemy of the people ... and that’s it ...
        Much of what is said and written about Beria is true ... He was not afraid to take responsibility for executions and other cruelty .. He acted, as they said then, at the call of the heart, at the call of the party, according to the revolutionary legal consciousness .. Perhaps all history will soon be soon put in its place, but for now, probably, we just don’t know much and are not able to objectively judge that time ....

          domokl,
          I can’t tell anything specific about Beria, I was 53 years old at 7, but from my father, a military officer, a communist who went through the whole war from 41 to 45, as well as from my grandfather, a member of the party from 17 who had the Order of the Red Banner for work in the Kiev Cheka during Petliurism,NOTHING I didn’t hear about Beria, but my grandfather talked a lot about Medved, Yagod and Yezhov (nothing good). But both grandfather and father always disdained Khrushchev, I did not swear with my father mercilessly, I was like everyone else while his ardent supporter, Both grandfather and father were honest people to the point of absurdity, I think if they would have said that.

Who are you so ugly. We don’t know each other at all, and you told me so many nasty things. As if I serve on the other side. You probably only saw the bad in life and became embittered. God be the judge to you.

        The line of accusation is based mainly on the rape of schoolgirls:

        Beria dragged the limp girl on the couch, began to undress. She childishly bubbled with cherry sponges, sometimes squealed a little pig. What terrible underwear they wear here in this city. From such linen any desire disappears, you see. A homemade polka-dot combo, pink pants, flannelettes, a nightmare ... It’s also good that the girls shorten these pants, cut them off above the elastic bands that shamelessly disfigure their thighs. Disgrace, we have no concern for youth. First of all, it will be necessary to establish a supply of lingerie. He opened his pants, pressed to his nose. It smells good, paired, a little sour, sits a little poop at the seam, but it is natural in such and such underwear. Desire increased rapidly. Now we need to strip her whole and forget about social problems. In the end, am I entitled to little pleasure? I’ll drag such a cart!

        Half a century later, the diaries of the closest associate of Joseph Stalin, Lawrence, were published.
        In August 1942, Beria describes how he advised Stalin to get Churchill drunk. "Koba said that my advice on Churchill came in handy. Churchill agreed, got drunk and swam. Koba talked and laughed. Vyacheslav laughed too, and Klim (Voroshilov) also chuckled. Then Koba said:" It's good when you know the enemy's weaknesses in advance. "

        As historian Sergei Kremlev notes, we are talking about a meeting with Churchill in Moscow in August 1942. The British Prime Minister resisted Stalin's idea of ​​opening a second front. But when the generalissimo offered a drink, the problem was solved.

        According to Beria, for the first time in his life, he saw tears in Stalin's eyes on September 23, 1942, when he reported on how people were fighting near Stalingrad.

        An unusual title was established in the USSR: the title of Honorary Citizen
        on the. He was appropriated only once in the entire turbulent history of our country.
        Lavrenty Pavlovich Beria - the only Honorary Citizen of the USSR.

        Let us recall the development of the missile defense ring around Moscow, conducted under
        leadership of L.P. Beria. In its own way, no less revolutionary - this work
        was done contrary to all the canons of technology, and, nevertheless, it turned out to be
        on foot. With a seemingly local value, even if it was a matter of ours
        capital, this development significantly influenced the direction of technical
        progress in the military field, and for all countries of the world. That could not
        provide neither barrel artillery, nor aviation, was under the power of
        there. Neither the Germans, nor the Japanese, nor the Western ones could do this before us.
        allies, although their problem of bombing was directly related during the war, and
        just a few years before the Soviet missile ring. This is where it started
        victorious procession of guided missiles around the world. By the way, in this case, America
        the Canzians did not even have the opportunity to claim that the Russians had stolen the secret from the United States.
        These projects yielded concrete results during the life of L.P. Beria, and
        its role is impossible - too many witnesses and documents have survived
        comrade But his role in heavy missile projects is not covered, since
        Many TASS messages were heard only in 1957. Was L.P. aside from
        heavy rockets? It is unlikely that the development of nuclear weapons and missile launchers
        lei constituted a single whole for him. I think that it was not without Beria’s participation
        a government decree on the development of reactive technical
        nicknames "1946.
        Everyone who is in one way or another connected with missile technology and nuclear weapons knows that all key decisions on approving a particular project were decided at that time at the "very" top. And at the very top of our nuclear missile project was L.P. Beria

        "Public consciousness" does not exist in Russia, since this very "society" is absent. There is an attitude of the Zionists, for whom Beria is an enemy of the people. This is the opinion of the Chechens, whom Beria expelled from the Caucasus for betrayal, and there is also the opinion of the Russians, who have unlimited respect for Lavrenty Pavlovich. He destroyed the "Leninist guard" of Yehuda-Yagoda and helped prepare for war, and after the war he organized the production of thermonuclear weapons. Honor him and eternal memory!

        THE TRUE CUSTOMER OF LIQUIDATION

        But in 1953, it was he who became the organizer of the murder of the great manager-innovator. And the customers of the action, apparently, were precisely the figures of the western financial and political backstage.

        - Please note: on June 26, 1953, the entire general elite of the MGB-MVD was arrested. And from the system of the Special Committee they took only one person: Sergo Lavrentievich Beria. Son ... - says S. Goryainov. - The special committee was sprayed over the ministries, the work was sharply inhibited (which the West needed). But work nevertheless continued, for the Anglo-Saxon clubs still needed an outwardly powerful but controlled opponent. Clubs didn’t care who became the head of the USSR: Khrushchev, Malenkov or Bulganin. Don't give a damn! The main thing is that Beria should not come to power. He clearly became an independent figure, but the rest succumbed to management ...

        They were not afraid of Khrushchev, who, several years later, picturesquely thrashed his boot on the UN rostrum and threatened to "bury capitalism" - for they knew the value of Nikita's true abilities. But they perfectly understood who could really "bury" the West.

          And I must add that Beria’s son was accused of spying on foreign intelligence.
          Young Beria was then engaged in radiolocation issues (this was also related to air defense and the missile program) and led a group of scientists on this issue.
          Naturally, he had the trophy results of the work and data from the work of the "allies" in this direction (Britoave and the Americans already had rich experience, in particular, in the fight against submarines), and this was the basis for the investigation.
          And the verdict was simple - CHANGED THE SURNAME AND SENT - it was called humanity - did not change the last name - they destroyed the person and not rubbed, but simply erased.
          He was invited by Brezhnev, but even when he said goodbye, he called him by his new surname.

    Of course you can’t tell a small article about everything and you will not convince anyone, especially if someone does not want this, because it is more convenient for him.
    But still article +!
    Even if at least one person thinks over these lines (article) and draws conclusions (even if he doubts that he heard before), then the lies in our history will become less.
    But Beria can serve as an illustrative example to our modern politicians and officials - How to work and how and for what we need to value people.
    Work not in language for the votes of voters and for a chair with benefits, and to value people for their business qualities for their knowledge, and not for bank accounts.

    Thanks for the sane article. They write that he was cruel. This is how any boss thinks about business, and then about people; moreover, he did not send anyone to execution; into exile - there was a case, but no one to be executed. But the old cops recalled: any, absolutely any employee could make an appointment with him and present the problem. Scientists (Perelman, in particular) recalled how he strictly, but without any rudeness, eliminated the showdown between the masters of science and forbade the "whales" to clamp down on the young.
    ... In addition: Beria's scammers, let's judge by deeds - wherever he was an organizer, the results were very impressive. They will remember the scientific "sharags" - and what, in the zone (with the suggestion of Comrade Yezhov) would be better? And in the "sharaga" it was not bad, the wives-children of those scientists did not know any everyday problems. And about personal courage: when Kurchatov was demonstrating a nuclear reactor (by the way, in Moscow!), He went out to the boiler with the lid open; no one followed him, except for Beria (who was scientifically grounded and knew what radiation and radiation sickness are).
    L.P. Beria was the organizer and manager, and not a politician, which is why he spoiled the rebellion of the military.
    ... I myself gravitate to the version of E. Prudnikova.

      Turn on your head
      You know one hundred percent why they wrote and read the case, made a request to the FSB - now there is a program for rehabilitating convicts at that time.
      So you made inquiries and read official materials on the investigation and investigation.
      I do not want to say that your relatives were enemies -NO.
      But who made the charges - Beria? I ran after every citizen at night writing cases on them - do you think it yourself?
      The denunciations were written by the same citizens of the USSR — friends, neighbors, colleagues, outcast husbands, mistresses, etc., and in the bodies - and this is in the article - there were just as many zats for whom the service is in the Ministry of Internal Affairs (then the Cheka, GPU.NKVD ) there was a cover for their filthy darling and craving for power - at least some.
      I also have reprimanded in my family and who don’t have them?
      It’s just that the old system is again - Our Bodies have revealed ....... Beria reprisited? ...... Maybe you need to think at least sometimes.
      And answer the question why Beria was shot at home without trial - then they were accused of repression
      And Yezhov - who himself confessed to the repressions he had committed and was shot - is not vilified and does not say that he never happened. Although the slang ZEK belongs to him and rejoiced on the Belamoro-Baltic channel, it was Yezhev who drove the "labor force" there with the help of repressive measures and named it from "PRISONERS OF THE CHANNEL ARMENIANS - or simply ZEK.
      "Who is building the channel?
      - Those who spoke - from the right bank
      Who was listening? - from the left bank "

        But Yezhov - who himself admitted to the repressions he had committed and was shot - did not swear and did not say, when he wasn’t at all


        It should be noted that even according to official statistics, on 01.01.32, only in the Central Office of the NKVD were Russians 65%, Jews - 7,4%, while among the top leadership (see above) the ratio was different: Russians and 55% of other nationalities, 45% of Jews - Chekists.

        The conclusion follows from here: 1937 was the year of the scope of “great terror” in the USSR after the murder of S.M. Kirov, therefore, the Jewish security officers also made a very significant contribution to this wave of repression.

        Therefore, the cries of the “democratic” press of our time about the “special suffering” of the Jews at this time are political demagogy. A significant stratum of Jewish Chekists “fully” carried out repressions of the 1920s and 1930s, without experiencing any hesitation. The victims of the repressions were mostly Russians, but the Jews, the Slavs, the Caucasians, and the Muslims also suffered. It is historically wrong to raise the question that Jews are not at all involved in the repressions of the 20s and 30s.


        Mr. Yeltsin’s chairman of the rehabilitation commission is now the famous renegade of the Communist Party Yakovlev. And even this "frantic democrat" and a fighter with the Soviet regime was forced to admit in the press that the charges against L.P. Beria (except for the moral mentioned above) is not backed up by any evidence and evidence


        http://mrk-kprf-spb.narod.ru/bespal.htm#2.2

        At the end of 1938, the Jews in the NKVD made up only 4%; mass repressions came to naught.

    Versions, versions ... Yes, Beria was a talented organizer. And why did Stalin goofy? Who will realize his ideas? Here is to take the famine of 1932-1933. There was no grain, but Stalin sent his comrades-in-arms and they seized grain from the peasants. Try and say that they are bad organizers. Of course, they are wonderful, talented organizers, they carried out the task of grain, and then a 2-year famine broke out, killing at least 7 million peasants. The townspeople were given rations, and the peasants were dying, some were engaged in cannibalism.
    Beria was the first secretary of the Central Committee in Georgia in 1 and managed to clean up Georgian society from undesirable elements by 1937 points on the scale of his master, and therefore was taken to Moscow to replace Yezhov.

    So the investigation was conducted under Yezhov (from the confessions of Frinovsky, his deputy):
    '... The investigative apparatus in all departments of the NKVD is divided into' investigators-jailers', 'jailers' and ordinary investigators. 'Investigators-jailers' were selected mainly from conspirators or compromised persons, they used uncontrolled beatings of those arrested, in the shortest possible time they obtained the 'necessary' testimony and knew how to competently and colorfully draw up protocols. Since the number of confessing arrested persons using such methods of interrogation increased day by day, the need for investigators who could draw up protocols was great. So the 'investigators-jailers' began to create - each with him - groups of 'jailers'. The group of "bell-ringers" did not know the materials on the suspect, they called the arrested person and proceeded to beat him. The beating continued until the person under investigation gave his consent to testify ... The investigator drew up a draft of the protocol, which was sent for correction to the head of the department, and from him for review to Yezhov, and, in rare cases, to me ... Most of the arrested did not agree with the wording of the protocol ... then the investigator reminded the arrested about the 'jailers', and the person under investigation signed the protocol.'

    And this is how the investigation was carried out under Beria (from the memoirs of the former NKVD employee of the Yezhovtsy M. Schraider, who had worked in the 'organs' for about 20 years). Find, as they say, the difference:
    '... Take it, do not be shy, - suddenly switching to' you 'and pretending to be careful, Beria said. - And with these words, he himself shoved an orange and an apple into my pockets. Hopeful and delighted, accompanied by the head of the prison, I left the office. But as soon as the door slammed behind us, and we moved down the corridor to the exit, a terrible, inhuman scream that sounded from the door of the neighboring office cut me like a knife through the heart. So could a man who was not just beaten, but burned with a hot iron or subjected to some other savage torture, could shout. Such screams were heard from almost all the doors leading into the corridor through which I was led. And I thought about the fact that Beria had just promised that they would not beat me and they would not torture me, but here in all the offices, apparently, in honor of his arrival (after all, I saw what a pompous meeting was arranged when all the investigators stood at attention along the steps of the stairs) investigators are sophisticated in torturing prisoners. Are all his assurances worthless, or for some reason he decided to make an exception only for me? "

    All politicians are out of trust
    they lied to me for many years
    two in the room, me and Beria
    black and white portrait on the table

    Comrade Beria, let me report
    things are bad in the country
    economic crisis continues to choke
    disappointing first quarter results

    We have done a lot of trouble without you,
    very much, broke firewood
    Great Power Ruined
    our fortress, hearth and shelter

    We lived in it warmly and comfortably,
    loved, worked, dreamed ...
    sometimes it was hard
    we overcame difficulties

    and after you Ferghana Valley and Sumgait
    many women were raped and killed there
    Armenian-Azerbaijani conflict
    You would never have such a nightmare.

    Crimean Tatar collaborators
    you sent to raise virgin soil
    they met with fascist flowers
    should have been atonement

    Bandera behaved like mice when you
    hiding in forests and caches
    lower grass and water quieter
    now yelling in chorus

    Bandera hero, Lenin executioner
    in Lviv, Pushkin’s bust was smashed with a hammer,
    in South Ossetia, children's crying is heard
    many children and old people were killed there

    Chechnya, Abkhazia, Transnistria ...
    shooting, tears, gunpowder smell
    spilled a lot of blood
    fear holds people in tenacious paws

    I know you loved Tolstoy reading,
    Pushkin was your favorite poet
    I want to pass you to the next world
    international greetings

    All politicians are out of trust
    they lied to me for so many years
    two in the room, me and Beria
    on the table is a black and white portrait.

    Sergo Beria, the son of Lavrenty Pavlovich, described his father very well in his book "My Father is Lavrenty Beria". He did not try to justify certain actions of the Chekist, he just showed how much husk they threw in the name of a politician. The book is written very objectively. After reading it, I understood a lot about the politics of those years. Khrushchev, who accused Beria of terrible crimes, was just a participant those crimes together with Kaganovich and other well-known politicians of that time. He personally composed cases in which completely innocent people were shot in Ukraine, but he was so overstated that Stalin sent him a telegram: "KEEP YOURSELF, D ... K!" I believe that Lavrenty Pavlovich was made a scapegoat to cover up their bloody crimes Khrushchev and others like him! And for three or four generations they hammered into their heads what a vile person Beria was! Although thanks only to him, our intelligence network was the best in the world, our country has achieved that the most influential powers were forced to reckon with it. The documents concerning the Lavrenty Pavlovich case have not yet been declassified, but also what was found in the archives about him activity, suggests that he does not fit the description of a bloodthirsty monster.

    Beria is an advanced Hitlerite agent in his actions - he, together with Zhukov, ensured the "surprise" of the attack, blocked information about the Yukhnovsky breakthrough, which provided the Vyazemsky boiler, together with Zhukov prepared Moscow for delivery, his ton of TNT was taken out from under the guest. Moscow in our time during reconstruction - who was she waiting for there? His agents sent the Germans plans for an offensive near Rzhev, which Zhukov passed on, he had a separate squadron of German-made aircraft with their coloring from among the purchased before the war and captured, which flew a lot - but they do not boast of intelligence, the only real purpose is to transport maps and bulky plans, liaison, and only in agreement with the command of both sides - otherwise the planes would be quickly shot down. He had plans for a putsch back in the war - his dispute with Voronov under Stalin is known, when he demanded 50000 rifles for his units, but received 10000 and threatened Voronov.
    On the eve of the "overthrow" Beria was in the GDR, where he helped the uprising and then still planned to unite with the FRG, beneficial to Hitler and the Nazis, but he returned to the USSR, or is his photo from Argentina real? The seizure of the mansion speaks rather of the destruction of the secretariat and covering up the traces - to recognize Beria as a Hitler meant the appearance of questions for other top cadres, among whom were other Nazis such as Khrushchev and Zhukov.

    The 20th century is the century of the destruction of the Russian people. Lenin, Trotsky Stalin, Beria, and so on. started a business that continues to this day. Shouting hurray to your executioners is madness, which is why we are dying out at such a speed. You cannot learn history from articles, television programs, newspapers, or statements by politicians. And the "Caucasian economic miracle" allegedly lasted until 90. There was no, I saw it. There was no miracle. When the Russians were forbidden to trade in those grown in their gardens, it was not called labor income, the Caucasians traded in their tangerines, pomegranates, etc. all over Russia. The climate and resorts that the whole country was building is all a miracle, but they did not have any economy, this was shown by the collapse of the union.

    It is very useful for supporters and sympathizers to read how and at what pace the national economy was developing. This is a time.
    Secondly, it is not so simple, gentlemen ... The awl in a bag cannot be hidden. Somewhere I was filled with respect.
    Thirdly, my gratitude to the author for this material. It is worth it to get to know him.
    Can the author just as impartially collect the facts of the shooting of Polish officers near Smolensk?
    That’s where the mountains of inconsistencies and dubious or conflicting conclusions are.
    In general, I am satisfied, although I have no doubt that a massive counterattack will begin.

      I think at a pace ... and this is just around the corner on this site! They started with Stalin, continued with Beria, then we can see Yagoda and Yezhov will go. kA what? the same great figures of Russia, who voluntarily destroyed, planted, spread rot (well, there were such times !!!). They will reach Hitler! They will find the same pluses and advantages, well, you think, millions have ruined, but they raised Germany.
      Unfortunately, we are ahead of the rest in terms of the number of fools! Neither history teaches us nor the experience of our parents. Is our memory short ??? Does it bother her when we get how normal people live? And pulls somewhere to the side ...
      I look at these advantages of the article and am amazed - well, where are we going and what can we achieve with people who still live and dream about the day before yesterday?!!? What future can these praise of Stalinaberiya build ??? They pull the country only back.

    Unfortunately, history is not archeology. It considers not only the "cultural system" but also a lot of political, economic and other layers. In recent years, we have repeatedly written about the creation of interstate, inter-parliamentary, scientific and other commissions, groups, etc. to restore historical justice from the time of almost the formation of Russia.
    The article gives an understanding that history cannot be rewritten again without restoring justice to individual statesmen, without studying the nature of their influence, at certain stages of historical development.
    Apparently we will not get to real historical justice soon!

    All this was under Beria:

    On the second day of the war, June 23, 1941, K. A. Meretskov was arrested on the basis of testimonies of those arrested in 1937-1938. 1st-rank commander I.F. Fedko, 1st-rank army commissar P.A. Smirnov, 1st-level fleet flagship V.M. Orlov, 2nd-rank commanders N.D. Kashirin and I.A. Khalepsky and others ... He was charged under Article 58, paragraphs 1 "b", 7, 8, 11 of the Criminal Code of the RSFSR. The investigation was conducted by L. E. Wlodzimirsky, L. L. Schwartzman, B. V. Rhodes and V. G. Ivanov. Olga Bergholz’s sister Maria Bergholz published records of her conversations with former Marshal’s colleagues, one of which testified that in the winter of 1941 Meretskov had a conflict with an officer of the special department who was following him, whom Kirill Afanasyevich said that he did not want to live and that the special officers in the NKVD had urinated on his head. According to the testimony of a colleague of O. F. Souvenir, Major General A. I. Korneev, who was personally present during the conversation of I. Kh. Baghramyan and S. K. Timoshenko, the latter said that in a personal conversation with Meretskov he was asked why he self-incriminating himself, the marshal said that he was bullied, “taunted”, and in case of testimony they promised not to touch the family. At the preliminary investigation, Meretskov pleaded guilty. During the investigation on July 15, 1941, a confrontation with A.D. Loktionov was organized, at which Loktionov was severely beaten in the presence of Meretskov; At the same time, Meretskov convicted Loktionov of participating in a fascist military conspiracy and urged him to sign a confession. Here is what Lev Shvartsman, who participated in the investigations of high-ranking military leaders, showed during interrogation:
    - First, high-ranking officials Merkulov and Wlodzimirsky applied physical methods of influence to Meretskov, and then I and investigators Zimenkov and Sorokin. He was beaten with rubber sticks. Before Meretskov, there were testimonies of over 40 witnesses that he was a member of a military conspiracy.
    The commander of the Air Force of the Red Army, the commander of the 2nd rank Loktionov Alexander Dmitrievich is one of the few who endured lengthy sophisticated torture and did not give incriminating testimonies to other people. His courage astounded even seasoned NKVD investigators. He was shot in the village of Barbysh near Kuibyshev in 1941.
    From the testimony of investigator Semenov: - I personally saw how Meretskov and Loktionov were brutally beaten during the investigation. They were not just moaning, but simply roaring in pain ... They were especially brutal with Stern. There was no living place on it. At each interrogation, he lost consciousness several times ... Loktionov was brutally beaten, covered in blood, his appearance also acted on Meretskov, who exposed him. Loktionov refused, and Wlodzimersky, Schwartzman and Rhodes continued to beat him in turn and together in front of Meretskov, who urged Loktionov to sign everything they wanted from him. Loktionov roared in pain, rolled on the floor, but did not agree ...

    Pedro,
    And you are probably a Democrat, a supporter of Stepan Bender and the United States, or as our current authorities, who have pursued and continue to pursue a policy of de-nationalization and oblivion of the history of their country. This is how it is necessary to dislike your homeland and bow before the West to denigrate people like Beria and Stalin.

    Good Beria or, on the contrary, bad, let everyone decide for himself, but ... Personally, he was extraordinary. An excellent organizer and leader of a truly national scale ...
    I often ask myself, what if Beria came to power instead of the Khrushchev-Malenkov duet? .. You can build a lot of assumptions and versions, but alas, we will never know a genuine answer to this question. For history is not a prelude to subjunctive moods ... But it would not be worse. This is definitely ...

    It is good to be an "excellent" organizer who does not reprimand or reprimand for a mistake, but shoots! I think the subordinates tried very hard !!!
    I don’t deny that he is a strong personality, but I also understand that he is "a white and fluffy bunny with hands and paws profusely soiled with human blood!"

      This photo is a well-known fake, see the uniform of the officer’s cap, moreover, in Europe then they didn’t wear panties with elastic, they wore underwear.
      Honestly, the photo resembles a congress of anonymous perverts who love bdsm in uniform, have fun in nature ...

    Lavrenty Pavlovich Beria is the only Honorary Citizen of the USSR.

    On L.P. Beria, the then General Prosecutor of the USSR Viktor Mikhailovich Bochkov, twice initiated criminal proceedings for the mass termination of the investigation and the prosecution of persons accused under Article 58 of the Criminal Code. And both times the commissions worked, again reviewed the cases of those released and no violations of social law were revealed.
    Quote: Oleg0705
    Please note: June 26, 1953 was arrested the entire general elite of the MGB-Ministry of Internal Affairs.

    All those involved in the elimination of Trotsky and the receipt of materials for the atomic bomb were subjected to a special, severe persecution.
    Quote: Company 8
    All this was under Beria. ... On the second day of the war, June 23, 1941, K. A. Meretskov was arrested

    These "materials" were created by the reigning Trotskyists and their heirs, who were sucking the hail.
    Wikipedia for the ultimate truth?
    ".... from January 1941 - Deputy People's Commissar of Defense of the USSR.
    At the beginning of the Great Patriotic War, K.A. Meretskov, as a representative of the Supreme Command Headquarters, assisted the command of the Northwestern and then Karelian fronts. Since September 1941 commanded the 7th separate army, which stopped the enemy offensive on the river. Swir. "
    Meretskov was arrested after Pavlov’s testimony. And the post of the Spanish testimony of 40 people to him, remained without consequences. Talk about this person is a separate topic.
