About the book: 2010 / The name itself - BERIA - is still perceived in the public consciousness of Russia as a special symbol synonymous with a cruel, bloody monster, only capable of the most villainous crimes . Everyone is convinced that he was just a bloody executioner and an evil intriguer who caused colossal damage to the USSR. But is this true? How justified is this point of view, which actually monopolizes the public consciousness? How did such a negative image develop of a man who devoted his entire adult life to the creation and strengthening of the USSR, the results of which Russia still enjoys? Readers will find answers to these and many other questions related to the life and work of Lavrentiy Pavlovich Beria in two parts: books in the new project of the famous historian Arsen Martirosyan - “100 myths about Beria” The first book of the project “Inspirer of repression or talented organizer? 1917–1941." was dedicated to the pre-war period. This book is the second in the mentioned project and covers the period of life and work of L.P., Beria from June 22, 1941 to June 26, 1953.
