ARTICLES RELATED TO Lavrenty Beria - Postwar politics | | | |  Lavrenty Beria - Postwar politics: Encyclopedia II - Lavrenty Beria - Postwar politicsWith Stalin nearing 70, the postwar years were dominated by a concealed struggle for the succession among his lieutenants. At the end of the war the most likely successor seemed to be Andrei Zhdanov, party leader in Leningrad during the war and placed in charge of all cultural matters in 1946.

| | | | Lavrenty Beria - Postwar politics: Encyclopedia II - Lavrenty Beria - Allegations against Beria Although Beria was formally convicted for being a British spy, the Communist Leadership has early on sought to spice up the charges with informal accusations of more personal nature. These included allegations that he raped numerous women, and that he personally tortured and killed many of his political victims.
Charges of sexual misconduct against Beria were first made in the speech by a Secretary of the Central Committee of the Communist Party, Nikolay Shatalin, at the Plenary Meeting of the committee on July 10, 1953, two weeks aft ...

| | | | Lavrenty Beria - Postwar politics: Encyclopedia II - Lavrenty Beria - After Stalin On March 5, 1953 Stalin died four days after collapsing during the night following a dinner with Beria and other Soviet leaders. The political memoirs of Foreign Minister Vyacheslav Molotov, published in 1993, claim that Beria boasted to Molotov that he had poisoned Stalin, although no hard evidence has ever been produced to support this assertion. There is evidence, however, that for many hours after Stalin was found unconscious, Beria denied him medical help, claiming that Stalin was "sleeping." It is possible that all the Soviet leaders agreed ...

In September Beria w ...

According to the most recent accounts Khrushchev convened a meeting of the Praesidium on June 26, where he launched an attack on Beria, accusing him of being in the pay of British intelligence. Beria was taken completely by surprise. He asked, "What's going on, Nikita Sergeyevich?" Molotov and others then also spoke against Beria, and Khrushchev put a motion for his instant dismissal. Malenkov then pressed a button on his desk as the pre-arranged signal to Marshal Georgy Zhukov and a group of armed ...
