Context: Beria was one of the most feared, high ranking men in the USSR, serving as head of the NKVD. His crimes against children and women were well known, many, and revolting. He served as Stalins right hand man for the latter half of Stalins reign and remained loyal to him until the end.

Thank you for your service.
It’s actually getting upvoted, I’m surprised.
Although I don’t think they have a lot of love for Stalin, to be fair.
Memes is a big comm with lots of non .ml subscribers, that would be who’s upvoting it.

I know tankies are annoying but there’s no need to troll them. They are allowed their safe space.
Fascists shouldn’t be allowed safe spaces.
If they want an echo chamber, they should defederate.
In one case, Beria picked up Tatiana Okunevskaya, a well-known Soviet actress, under the pretence of bringing her to perform for the Politburo. Instead he took her to his dacha, where he offered to free her father and grandmother from prison if she submitted. He then raped her, telling her, “Scream or not, it doesn’t matter”. In fact, Beria knew that Okunevskaya’s relatives had been executed months earlier. Okunevskaya was arrested shortly afterwards and sentenced to solitary confinement in the Gulag, which she survived.
Just… Wow.
Unaccountable power structures and people who want to do unspeakable things: name a more repulsive-yet-consistent duo
Was this the guy Stalin didn’t want his daughter getting into the car of? Just triggered a random memory
