		Beria was born the son of Pavel Khukhaevich Beria, a peasant, in Merkheuli, near Sukhumi in the Abkhazian region of Georgia.
		Beria was taken first to the Lefortovo prison and then to the headquarters of General Kirill Moskalenko, commander of Moscow District Air Defence and a wartime friend of Khrushchev's.

		Beria publicly denounced the Doctors plot as a fraud, and released large numbers of political prisoners.

	On Lavrenty Beria
		Yes, Beria did not make any such grab and it is evident that had he wanted to make that grab for power, he could have easily done it.
		A more logical deduction would be that Beria never considered there to be ANY power grab and was not at odds with his Comrades, at least not ad odds in such a big way that he'd grab power and use it against them.
		It was enemies that considered Beria an enemy, enemies that were in fact capitalists, never communists, and who proved this of themselves later on by wrecking collectives that worked well!.
