Part 1/9:
The Life and Crimes of Lavrentiy Beria: Stalin’s Enforcer
The atrocities committed under the regime of Joseph Stalin are well-known, yet the individuals who enabled and supported those horrors often remain in the shadows. One such figure was Lavrentiy Beria, the man who led the NKVD, the Soviet secret police. Beria was not merely a subordinate, but a critical architect in the orchestrated violence against countless people, executing Stalin's bloody mandates while simultaneously indulging in his debauched proclivities. His life, fraught with ambition and brutality, ended as dramatically as it was lived, following Stalin's death in 1953.
