Sebag Montefiore Simon & Santa: Simon Montefiore is a British “”“historian”“”, television presenter, and author of pop-“”“history”“” books and novels. Ghislaine attended the launch of Montefiore’s book, “The Court of the Red Tsar” (https://deepclips.com/clip/3225/exclusive-i-fear-i-saw-virginia-roberts-inside-jeffrey-epstein-s-creepy-new-mexico-ranch-contractor-claims). Santa is his wife and sister of Tara Palmer-Tomkinson, who died of an ulcer in 2017. The Palmer-Tomkinson family is so close with the Royal Family that King Charles II was named Tara’s godfather. As such, Simon and Santa are good friends of King Charles II and Queen Camilla (https://www.telegraph.co.uk/culture/4721868/The-lit-girl.html). Simon’s great-great-uncle was an international financier who worked for the Rothschilds in the 1800s. Simon and his family are still close to the Rothschilds to this day (https://www.vanityfair.com/news/2008/01/montefiore200801).
If you go to the Stalin or Beria pages on Wikipedia, nearly half of the most outrageous claims come from Montefiore. He alleges that Russia gave him access to the “Soviet archives” in the early 2000’s for his book Stalin: The Court of the Red Tsar, despite the fact that Russia denies it and they’ve never let anyone do it since.
He’s a huge Zionist “historian” who regularly denies genocide (https://www.thefp.com/p/the-intifada-comes-to-britain) and believes that all problems in the Middle East are caused by the existence of Palestinians (https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2023/10/decolonization-narrative-dangerous-and-false/675799/).
Beria being a sexpest is only backed by that one source? huh I never really looked into it closely and I’ve never seen it challenged in communist spaces(people just denounce and move on)
Guess its yet another reminder to interrogate every ‘accepted fact’
Berias bad reputation seems to come mostly fromt he fact that hist politcal faction lost to Cornboy + the west taking all of cornboys slander as gospel because it delivered mountains of material. Thus Beria essentially got slandered from the east and the west.
