		Beria is portrayed as the ultimate opportunist, ruthlessly undercutting everybody in his path to further his ambition.
		Indeed, Beria is portrayed as being the ultimate Stalinist politician, a born survivor with an ambition to reach the top (unlike other people, such as Molotov, who were content just to survive).
		Beria supposedly was a vicious pedophile, a serial rapist of young women, but very little mention is given of that or other sins.

	Beria's and Khrushchev's revisionist groups
		Beria's group and Khrushchev's contituted two rival revisionist factions that, while secretly undermining Stalin's work, were waging war with each other.
		Since Beria was shot by Khrushchev in 1953, soon after Stalin's death, it might be supposed that he was an adversary of Khrushchevian revisionism.
		But, presenting the ideas developed by Beria towards 1951, Wittlin claimed that he wanted to authorize private enterprise in light industry and `to moderate the collective farm system', as well as `by returning to the approach of the pre-Stalin era, the NEP'.

		It was Beria who was responsible for the atrocity of the Katyn Massacre in 1940, the organisation of the murder of Trotsky in Mexico, the internal exile of the kulaks and, later, the masterminding of Russia's atomic bomb programme.
		Beria distinguished himself during the war by terrorising Russia's generals, shooting vast numbers for dubious reasons, and deporting whole nations of innocent Caucasians, including the Chechens, half of whom died in the process.
		But Beria was just as feared and loathed, particularly for his fawning over Stalin, his threats and his well-documented habit of seducing or raping any young woman who caught his fancy (a fact not covered by his son, although Sergo does admit that his father was a womaniser).

		Beria's son Sergio, it is evident here, loved his father and throughout his adult life has sought to defend him against at least the worst of the charges.
		In Beria's case, according to Sergio, an increasingly open hatred for Stalin was fuelled by fear of the possible consequences of a megalomania that increased as the dictator aged.
		The most favorable interpretation is that Lavrenti Beria saw, more clearly than some of his counterparts, the limits of random savagery as a method of governance not least because he had tested and extended those limits in his own life and career.

		Even more revealing were the policy statements made by Malenkov and Beria, which implied, if not direct criticism of Stalin's acts, at least an awareness that his policies had deepened popular discontent with the regime and a hope that a ''new course'' might evoke a different reaction from the Soviet people.
		Beria further reported that "inadmissible'' methods had been used by the police in handling suspects, called for revision of the criminal code to reduce the severity of penalties for minor crimes, and even spoke of the need for protecting the rights of Citizens guaranteed Under the Constitution.
		The fall of Beria was followed by a purge of the Georgian and Azerbaijani organizations in which Beria's influence had been especially strong.

		Upon his arrest, a list was found on one of Beria's bodyguards containing the names of 39 Moscow women, along with their phone numbers and addresses.
		From all indications, Beria was an enthusiastic proponent of the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact, initialed on August 23, 1939, which bound Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union to a treaty of non-aggression while carving up Eastern Europe between them.

		Sergo Beria is very fond of his father, and while he does not mention anything regarding his father’s womanising brutality and does not pass any judgement on his father’s involvement in mass repressions in 30th and 40th, this book gives a rare witness account into the mechanisms of the power intrigues within the Soviet state.
		Beria is one of the most fascinating figures to emerge from Stalinism.
		Sergo Beria met all the major Soviet leaders of the 1930's and 40's and gives a vivid account of the paranoia, fear and intrigue of the nomenklatura including Stalin's children(Stalin wanted him to marry his daughter Svetlana), Khrushchev and others.
