How Beria L. died. Management of the country's military industry

vecanoi We started talking about the Beria case. So he convinces - we are tried and shot. He says he read books, newspapers....

How many people shot Beria? How many versions does a completely official action have?

1. Shot by Zhukov
“Beria never talked to me about politics. He did not open up. They talked about music, about theater. Some historians claim that Lavrenty Pavlovich was personally shot by Zhukov in one of the Kremlin offices. And I have no doubt at all that this was the case.” (version as Beria Alekseeva’s mistress)

2. Shot by security
“Further on I did not take part either in the security, or in the investigation, or in trial. After the trial, Beria was shot by the same people who guarded him. During the execution, Beria behaved very poorly, like the very last coward, cried hysterically, knelt down and, finally, soiled himself all over. In a word, he lived disgustingly and died even more disgustingly" (Zhukov's version)

3. Shot by Batitsky (version 1)
“We took Beria down the stairs to the dungeon. He covered... Stink. Then I shot him like a dog.” (Batitsky)

4. Shot by Batitsky (version 2)
"They executed a man sentenced to death in the bunker of the Moscow Military District headquarters. They took off his tunic, leaving his white undershirt, tied his hands with a rope behind him and tied him to a hook driven into a wooden shield. This shield protected those present from the ricochet of a bullet. Prosecutor Rudenko read out the verdict. Beria: " Let me tell you..." Rudenko: "You've already said everything." (To the military): "Gag his mouth with a towel." Moskalenko (to Yuferev): "You're our youngest, you shoot well. Come on." Batitsky: "Comrade commander, allow me (takes out his parabellum). With this thing, I sent more than one scoundrel to the next world at the front." Rudenko: "Please carry out the sentence." Batitsky raised his hand. A wildly bulging eye flashed above the bandage, Beria squinted the other, Batitsky pulled the trigger, the bullet hit the middle of his forehead. The body hung on ropes. The execution took place in the presence of Marshal Konev and those military men who arrested and guarded Beria. They called a doctor... It remained to confirm the fact of death. Beria’s body was wrapped in canvas and sent to the crematorium.” (Antonov-Ovseenko)

5. Shot by Batitsky (version 3)
"Today at 19:50, based on the order of the chairman of the special judicial presence Supreme Court USSR dated December 23, 1953 N 003 by me, the commandant of the special judicial presence, Colonel-General P.F. Batitsky, in the presence of the Prosecutor General of the USSR, Actual State Counselor of Justice R.A. Rudenko. and General of the Army Moskalenko K.S., the sentence of the special judicial presence was carried out in relation to Lavrenty Pavlovich Beria, sentenced to capital punishment - execution." Three signatures. (version of the act of execution dated December 23, 1953.)

6. Shot by Batitsky (version 4)
“General Batitsky personally shot Beria, and then control shots were fired by all five officers of the special command, including Khizhnyak-Gurevich.” (Khizhnyak-Gurevich’s version)

6. Shot by Khrushchev (version 1)
“The marshal and his guards resisted and were killed. They even name the author of the fatal shot, namely Khrushchev.” (OSS version)

7. Shot by Khrushchev on the day of arrest (version 2) (Khrushchev)

8. Shot Moskalenko on the day of his arrest (Khrushchev)

9. Shot by Mikoyan on the day of his arrest (Khrushchev)

10. The guards shot
“All the stories that Beria was tied to some kind of plank with a plane tree and then shot are lies. The guys hated him so much that they couldn’t bring him to that board, they started shooting right on the stairs. I understand them. But sending him with They didn’t dare to go to the crematorium with such a bunch of holes. They later told me that someone suggested dissolving the corpse in alkali. There was a suitable bath there, and they brought the alkali to the shelter. That’s how Beria’s corpse disappeared..." (unknown commander’s version). missile base)

11. Killed in the courtyard of his own house on the day of his arrest (Sergo Beria’s version)

I counted 11 versions. Maybe that's not all.

The first assumes that Beria somehow managed not to fall into the trap of a conspiracy prepared against him or even escape from the arrest that had already happened and hide in Latin America, where after 1945 almost all Nazi criminals fled. And thus he was able to stay alive for the time being...

The second says that during the arrest of Beria, he and his guards resisted and were killed. They even name the author of the fatal shot, namely Khrushchev... There are also those who say that the pre-trial execution took place in the already mentioned bunker almost immediately after the arrest in the Kremlin. And this rumor unexpectedly received confirmation.

In the archives of Old Square I discovered documents personally endorsed by Khrushchev and Kaganovich. According to them, Beria was liquidated even before the July 1953 Emergency Plenum of the Central Committee, convened on the occasion of exposing the criminal activities of the sinister man in the pince-nez...

Where is the main enemy of the people buried?

My colleagues - researchers N. Zenkovich and S. Gribanov, with whom we periodically call each other to exchange information - have collected a number of documented facts about the fate of Beria after the news of his arrest. But especially valuable evidence on this matter was discovered by Hero Soviet Union, intelligence officer and former head of USSR writers Vladimir Karpov. Studying the life of Marshal Zhukov, he put an end to the dispute: did Zhukov participate in the arrest of Beria? The secret, handwritten memoirs of the marshal he found say directly: he not only participated, but also led the capture group. So the statement of Beria’s son Sergo that Zhukov has nothing to do with his father’s arrest is untrue!

The last find turns out to be important also because it refutes the rumor about Nikita Sergeevich’s heroic shot during the detention of the all-powerful Minister of Internal Affairs and State Security.

What happened after the arrest, Zhukov personally did not see and therefore wrote what he learned from hearsay, namely: “In the future, I did not take part either in the security, or in the investigation, or in the trial. After the trial, Beria was shot by the same who was guarding him. During the execution, Beria behaved very badly, like the very last coward, cried hysterically, knelt down and finally soiled himself all over. In a word, he lived disgustingly and died even more disgustingly.” Note: this is what Zhukov was told, but Zhukov himself did not see it...

But here is what, as they say, S. Gribanov managed to find out first-hand from the real author of the bullet for the main enemy of the people, then Colonel General P.F. Batitsky: “We took Beria down the stairs into the dungeon. He obliterated... Stink. Then I shot him like a dog.”

Everything would have been fine if other witnesses to the execution, and General Batitsky himself, had said the same thing everywhere. However, inconsistencies could occur due to negligence and literary fantasies researchers, one of whom, the son of the revolutionary Antonov-Ovseenko, wrote this: “They executed a man sentenced to death in the bunker of the Moscow Military District headquarters. They took off his tunic, leaving a white undershirt, tied his hands with a rope behind his hands and tied him to a hook driven into a wooden shield. This the shield protected those present from the ricochet of the bullet. Prosecutor Rudenko read out the verdict. the youngest, you shoot well. Come on." Batitsky: "Comrade commander, allow me (takes out his parabellum). With this thing, I sent more than one scoundrel to the next world at the front." Rudenko: "Please carry out the sentence." Batitsky raised his hand. A wildly bulging eye flashed above the bandage, Beria squinted the other, Batitsky pulled the trigger, the bullet hit the middle of his forehead. The body hung on ropes. The execution took place in the presence of Marshal Konev and those military men who arrested and guarded Beria. They called a doctor... It remained to confirm the fact of death. Beria’s body was wrapped in canvas and sent to the crematorium.” In conclusion, Antonov-Ovseyenko paints a picture similar to horror films: supposedly, when the performers pushed Beria’s body into the flames of the crematorium and clung to the glass of the furnace, they were overcome by fear - the body of their bloody boss on the fiery tray suddenly moved and gradually began to sit down... Later it turned out that the service personnel “forgot” to cut the tendons, and they were under the influence high temperature began to decline. But at first it seemed to everyone that in the flames of hell the dead executioner came to life...

An interesting story. However, while reporting eerie physiological details, the narrator does not provide a link to any document. Where, for example, are the acts confirming the execution and burning of Beria? This is not an empty quibble, for if anyone read the act of execution, he could not help but notice that the doctor required in such cases was not present at the execution of Beria, and did not at all testify to her... So the question arises: “A Was it Beria who was there? Or another one: “Or maybe the report was drawn up retroactively and without a doctor?” And the lists of those present at the execution published by different authors do not coincide. To prove these words, I will cite the act of execution dated December 23, 1953.

“On this date at 19:50, on the basis of the order of the chairman of the special judicial presence of the Supreme Court of the USSR dated December 23, 1953 N 003, by me, the commandant of the special judicial presence, Colonel General Batitsky P.F., in the presence of the Prosecutor General of the USSR, the actual state counselor of justice Rudenko R.A. and Army General Moskalenko K.S., the sentence of the special judicial presence was carried out in relation to Lavrenty Pavlovich Beria, sentenced to capital punishment. Three signatures. And no more guarding generals (as Zhukov was told); no Konev, Yuferev, Zub, Baksov, Nedelin and Getman, and no doctor (as Antonov-Ovseenko was told).

These discrepancies could have been ignored if Beria’s son Sergo had not insisted that Shvernik, a member of that same court, told him personally: “I was part of the tribunal in the case of your father, but I never saw him.” Sergo was even more doubtful by the confession of court member Mikhailov: “Sergo, I don’t want to tell you about the details, but we didn’t see your father alive”... Mikhailov did not expand on how to evaluate this mysterious statement. Either an actor was put in the dock instead of Beria, or Beria himself changed beyond recognition during his arrest? It is possible that Beria could have doubles...

This concerns the act of execution. Another act - cremation, as far as I know, no one saw at all, as well as the body of the person who was shot. Of course, with the exception of those three who signed the act. They signed it, but then what? Where are the Burial or Cremation Certificates? Who cremated? Who buried? It turns out, as in the song: and no one will know where your grave is... Indeed, no one has yet provided any evidence about the burial place of Beria, although the “grave accounting department” of the state security agencies has kept records in this regard in such a way that, if necessary, you can quickly get all the information.

Why was Malenkov silent?

I’ll start with the letters that the arrested Beria wrote to his former “associates”. There were several of them. And all of them, as far as I know, were written before the July Plenum, i.e. from June 26 to July 2. I've read some. Of greatest interest, apparently, is the very last letter addressed “To the Presidium of the Central Committee of the CPSU. Comrades Malenkov, Khrushchev, Molotov, Voroshilov, Kaganovich, Mikoyan, Pervukhin, Bulganin and Saburov,” i.e. those who made the decision to arrest. But before citing its text in full, it is necessary to make an explanation.

The vote on Beria's arrest was very tense and took place twice. The first time, according to Malenkov’s assistant D. Sukhanov, only Malenkov, Pervukhin and Saburov were in favor, while Khrushchev and Bulganin and, of course, Mikoyan abstained. Voroshilov, Kaganovich and Molotov were generally “against”. Moreover, Molotov allegedly stated that arresting one of the first leaders of the party, government and legislative branch without an arrest warrant is not only a violation of parliamentary immunity, but also of all major party and Soviet laws in general. However, when military men entered the meeting room with weapons and it was proposed to vote again, everyone immediately voted in favor, as if feeling that if they violated the “unanimity” required in such cases, then they too would be counted among Beria’s accomplices. Many are inclined to believe Sukhanov’s memories recorded years later, although we must not forget that he himself was outside the office in which the events took place. Therefore, I could only find out about what happened from hearsay. And most likely in the words of his master Malenkov, who did not really favor his rivals in the struggle for the first place in power - Molotov, Khrushchev and Bulganin.

However, if you believe not Sukhanov, but the aforementioned letter from Beria, then on the day of the arrest, whoever, but Malenkov and Khrushchev were more unanimous than ever. To see this, let’s read Beria’s downright screaming letter.

"Dear comrades, they can deal with me without trial or investigation, after 5 days of imprisonment, without a single interrogation, I beg you all, so that this is not allowed, I ask for immediate intervention, otherwise it will be too late. You need to notify me directly by phone...

Why do they do it the way they are doing now? They put us in the basement, and no one finds out or asks anything. Dear comrades, perhaps the only and the right way decisions without trial and clarification of the case against a member of the Central Committee and his comrade after 5 days in the basement to execute him. Once again I beg you all...

I affirm that all charges will be dropped if only you want to investigate this. What a rush, and a suspicious one at that.

I ask T. Malenkov and Comrade Khrushchev not to persist. Would it be bad if she was rehabilitated?

Again and again I beg you to intervene and not to destroy your innocent old friend. Your Lavrentiy Beria."

Here's a letter. However, no matter how Beria begged, exactly what he was madly afraid of happened...

At the closed Plenum, which took place from July 2 to July 7, 1953, in numerous accusatory speeches there were words that no one (!) paid attention to then in the general turmoil and victorious euphoria. Khrushchev was the first to spill the beans. Having entered into the excitement of the story of how they deftly dealt with Beria, he, among other enthusiastic phrases, suddenly blurted out: “Beria... has given up his spirit.”

Kaganovich spoke even more clearly: “...having eliminated this traitor Beria, we must completely restore Stalin’s legal rights...” And most definitely: “The Central Committee destroyed the adventurer Beria...” And that’s the point. You can't say more precisely.

Of course, these words of top officials can also be taken in a figurative sense. But why then did none of them even mention that at the upcoming investigation it was necessary to properly question Beria about all his dirty deeds? It is no coincidence, apparently, that none of them even hinted that Beria himself should have been brought to the Plenum, so that everyone could listen to his confessions and ask the accumulated questions, as, for example, Stalin did in relation to Bukharin. Most likely they didn’t hint because there was no one to deliver... It’s also possible, however, that they were afraid that Beria would expose them and, first of all, his “old friends” Khrushchev and Malenkov...

Is this the reason why Malenkov was silent about the events of those years? Even his son Andrei laments that even after a third of a century his father preferred to avoid talking about this topic.

Special cuisine of the Kremlin

With Gennady Nikolaevich Kolomentsev, former boss Special cuisine of the Kremlin, I have developed good relationship. The memoirs of the honorary (now deceased) security officer of the USSR helped correct many mistakes of researchers and historians, but one of his confessions makes one especially think.

It began with the fact that I told him a number of details about the arrest of Beria, which came from the already mentioned son of Antonov-Ovseenko, who, in particular, said that “Beria had to change his suit to a soldier’s uniform - a cotton tunic and trousers. Food for the arrested man was delivered from garage of the Moscow Military District headquarters - soldier's rations, soldiers' serving: a pot and an aluminum spoon...".

Hearing this, Kolomentsev literally exploded: “All this is nonsense! My people served Beria. So I saw him often. I didn’t like him. Through his pince-nez, he had a kind of snake-like look... When he was arrested, we They brought food to him on Osipenko Street, where he was sitting. They were afraid that there were people interested in poisoning him. All the food was transported there under seal. A special waiter arrived with dishes and left..."

What did they feed Beria? - I ask. - Regular soldier's rations?

What are you talking about? He was given a special menu in which he noted what he needed. Even after being arrested, Beria made up his own menu from the list that we offered him. And the list was not at the level of a soldier or officer, and not even at the level of a general, but even higher... Beria was shot there, in the dungeon. The only thing I saw - no... my deputy told me this - was how Beria’s corpse was carried out in a tarpaulin and loaded into a car. And where they burned him and buried him, I don’t know.”

It would seem that there is nothing special about this memory. However, in the memoirs of the military men who arrested and guarded Beria, it is categorically emphasized that in order to avoid organizing an escape, Beria’s former subordinates were not allowed anywhere near him (at least before the Plenum).

From this we can draw a logical conclusion: Kolomentsev was allowed to feed Beria only when it was no longer Beria who was sitting there in the bunker, but someone playing his role. Therefore, neither the possible escape of the double nor his poisoning no longer worried the “old friends” and, above all, Malenkov and Khrushchev.

As for the corpse, you never know who could have been carried out wrapped in a tarpaulin. We had the opportunity to observe a similar scene in our days, when television showed the removal of the lifeless body of the criminal authority Pasha-Tsvetomuzika after an attack on him by a contract killer. And after a while everyone again saw Pasha’s face alive and unharmed.

So where is Beria’s grave located?

According to official data, L.P. Beria was arrested on June 26, 1953 in the Kremlin and in the same year on December 23, by a court verdict, he was shot in underground bunker in the courtyard of the headquarters of the Moscow Military District. However, as archives show, official data from those years too often diverges from reality. Therefore, other versions circulating in the form of rumors also attract attention. Two of them are especially sensational...

The first suggests that Beria somehow managed not to fall into the trap of a conspiracy prepared against him, or even escape from the arrest that had already happened and hide in Latin America, where after 1945 almost all Nazi criminals fled. And thus he was able to stay alive for the time being...

The second says that during the arrest of Beria, he and his guards resisted and were killed. They even name the author of the fatal shot, namely Khrushchev... There are those who say that the pre-trial execution took place in the already mentioned bunker almost immediately after the arrest in the Kremlin. And this rumor unexpectedly received confirmation.

In the archives of Old Square, I discovered documents personally endorsed by Khrushchev and Kaganovich.
According to them, Beria was liquidated even before the July 1953 Emergency Plenum of the Central Committee, convened on the occasion of exposing the criminal activities of the sinister man in the pince-nez...

Where is the main enemy of the people buried?

My colleagues - researchers N. Zenkovich and S. Gribanov, with whom we periodically call each other to exchange information - have collected a number of documented facts about the fate of Beria after the news of his arrest. But especially valuable evidence on this matter was discovered by the Hero of the Soviet Union, intelligence officer and former head of writers of the USSR Vladimir Karpov.
Studying the life of Marshal Zhukov, he put an end to the dispute: did Zhukov participate in the arrest of Beria? The secret, handwritten memoirs of the marshal he found say directly: he not only participated, but also led the capture group. So the statement of Beria’s son Sergo that Zhukov has nothing to do with his father’s arrest is untrue!

The last find turns out to be important also because it refutes the rumor about Nikita Sergeevich’s heroic shot during the detention of the all-powerful Minister of Internal Affairs and State Security.

What happened after the arrest, Zhukov personally did not see and therefore wrote what he learned from hearsay, namely: “In the future, I did not take part either in the security, or in the investigation, or in the trial. After the trial, Beria was shot by the same who was guarding him. During the execution, Beria behaved very badly, like the very last coward, cried hysterically, knelt down and finally soiled himself all over. In a word, he lived disgustingly and died even more disgustingly.” Note: this is what Zhukov was told, but Zhukov himself did not see it...

But here is what, as they say, S. Gribanov managed to find out first-hand from the real author of the bullet for the main enemy of the people, then Colonel General P.F. Batitsky: “We took Beria down the stairs into the dungeon. He obliterated... Stink. Then I shot him like a dog.”

Everything would have been fine if other witnesses to the execution, and General Batitsky himself, had said the same thing everywhere. However, inconsistencies could have occurred due to negligence and from the literary fantasies of researchers, one of whom, the son of revolutionary Antonov Ovseenko, wrote this: “They executed a man sentenced to death in the bunker of the Moscow Military District headquarters. They took off his tunic, leaving a white undershirt, and tied his hands with a rope behind him and tied to a hook driven into a wooden shield. This shield protected those present from the ricochet of a bullet. Prosecutor Rudenko read out the verdict. ". Moskalenko (to Yuferev): "You are our youngest, you shoot well. Let's".
Batitsky: “Comrade commander, allow me (takes out his “parabellum”). With this thing, I sent more than one scoundrel to the next world at the front.” Rudenko: “I ask you to carry out the sentence.” Batitsky raised his hand. A wildly bulging eye flashed above the bandage, the second Beria squinted, Batitsky pulled the trigger, the bullet hit the middle of his forehead. The body hung on the ropes. The execution took place in the presence of Marshal Konev and those military men who arrested and guarded Beria. They called the doctor... All that remained was to confirm the fact of death. Beria's body was wrapped in canvas and sent to the crematorium." In conclusion, Antonov-Ovseyenko paints a picture similar to horror films: supposedly, when the performers pushed Beria's body into the flames of the crematorium and clung to the glass of the furnace, they were gripped by fear - the body of their bloody boss on the fiery the tray suddenly began to move and gradually began to sit down...

Here's a letter. However, no matter how Beria begged, exactly what he was madly afraid of happened...

At the closed Plenum, which took place from July 2 to July 7, 1953, in numerous accusatory speeches there were words that no one (!) paid attention to then in the general turmoil and victorious euphoria. Khrushchev was the first to spill the beans.
Having entered into the excitement of the story of how they deftly dealt with Beria, he, among other enthusiastic phrases, suddenly blurted out:
"Beria... has given up his spirit."

Kaganovich spoke even more definitely: “...having eliminated this traitor Beria, we must completely restore Stalin’s legal rights...” And very definitely: “The Central Committee destroyed the adventurer Beria...” And that’s the point. You can't say more precisely.

Of course, these words of top officials can also be taken in a figurative sense. But why then did none of them even mention that at the upcoming investigation it was necessary to properly question Beria about all his dirty deeds? It is no coincidence, apparently, that none of them even hinted that Beria himself should have been brought to the Plenum, so that everyone could listen to his confessions and ask the accumulated questions, as, for example, Stalin did in relation to Bukharin. Most likely they didn’t hint because there was no one to deliver... It’s also possible, however, that they were afraid that Beria would expose them and, first of all, his “old friends” Khrushchev and Malenkov...

So, we have established that Beria wrote letters from June 26 to July 2, the Plenum took place from July 2 to July 7, and the “statements” of Khrushchev and Kaganovich about the liquidation of Beria were heard in the general turmoil and victorious euphoria, then we can assume that Beria was executed within July 2-6, and the executor of the sentence was Colonel General P.F. Batitsky.

Let's try, at least approximately, to establish the truth from the code of the FULL NAME OF LAVRENTIY BERIA. \If only it succeeds\.

Watch "Logicology about the fate of man" in advance.

Let's look at the FULL NAME code tables. \If there is a shift in numbers and letters on your screen, adjust the image scale\.

Let's read it individual words and suggestions:

BERIA = 67 = EXECUTED.

LAVRENTY PAVLOVICH = 176 = 104-KILLED + 3-B + 69-HEAD = 103-SHOT + 73-DIED = 94-DEAD + 82-SHOT.

176 - 67 = 109 = REVENGE, INTERRUPTION = 17-AMBA + 34-FROM + 58-BULLETS.

BERIA LAVRENTY = 159 = 103-SHOT + 56-EXECUTED = 97-MURDER + 62-DONATE = 108-EXECUTED + 51-KILLED.

PAVLOVICH = 84 = HEAD, BRAIN, KILL.

159 - 84 = 75 = BREAKTHROUGH, CRISIS, REVENGE.

PAVLOVICH BERIA = 151 = 89-KILLED + 62-DOT = 79-BULLET + 3-B + 69-HEAD.

LAVRENTY = 92 = DEAD.

151 - 92 = 59 = KILLED, DEAD.

We insert the resulting three check digits 59, 75 and 109 into the code for the FULL NAME OF LAVRENTY BERIA:

243 = 59 + 184\75+109\. Where 184 = 120-DEATH + 64-EXECUTION = 102-SHOT + 82-SHOT\en\.

243 = 75 + 168\59+109\. Where 168 = EXECUTED-56 X 3 = 104-KILLED + 64-BULLETS.

243 = 109 + 134\59+75\. Where 134 = EXECUTION-67 X 2 = 83-DEPRIVATION + 51-LIFE.

DATE OF BIRTH: 17.\29\.03.1899. This = 17 + 03 + 18 + 99 = 137 = SOUL, DOOMED, ​​MURDERED = 64-EXECUTION + 73-DIES = 85-REVENGE + 52-KILLED = 78-BULLETS + 59-DEAD = 60-WOUNDS + 77-HEADS = 82-SHOT + 55-KILLED.

243 = 137 + 106-DAMAGE, \44-MAJOR + 62-DAMAGE\.

NUMBER OF FULL YEARS OF LIFE = 176-FIFTY + 100-FOUR = 276.

276 = KILLED-92 X 3 = BRAIN-92 X 3 = KILLED BY A BULLET-138 X 2 = 94-DEAD + 51-KILLED + 131-SHOT = 206-SHOT + 70-EXIT.

276 = 243-\ FULL NAME code \ + 33-OGN \ estrelnoe \.

I would venture to guess that Beria was shot on July 2, on the first day of the Plenum. Let's check this assumption:

75-SECOND, REVENGE, BREAKTHROUGH, HEART, KNOCKED, DEATH.

160-SECOND OF JULY + 72-TO THE HEAD-\ 19 + 53 \-\ code YEAR OF DEATH \ = 232 = 63-DEATH + 67-EXECUTED + 102-SHOT DEATH.

Simplified version: 07/2/1953. This = 2 + 07 + 19 + 53 = 81 = KILLED BY WILD.

243 = 81 + 162-SHOT.

But, I repeat, this is only an assumption.

Addition:

243 = 31-ON + 117-CONVENTION + 95-TRIBUNAL \a\ = 120-DEATH + 64-EXECUTION + 59-DEAD = 17-AMBA + 170-CONVICTED + 11-K + 45-EXECUTION = 170-EXECUTATION + 73 -KILLED = 175-GUNSHOT + 68-WOUNDED = 62-SHOT + 130-TERMINATION + 51-LIFE = 130-TERMINATION + 51-LIFE + 3-IN + 59-JULY.

Member of the Central Committee of the All-Union Communist Party of Bolsheviks (1934-1953), candidate member of the Politburo of the Central Committee (1939-1946), member of the Politburo (1946-1953). He was part of J.V. Stalin's inner circle. He oversaw a number of the most important sectors of the defense industry, including all developments related to the creation of nuclear weapons and missile technology. After Stalin's death, in June 1953, L.P. Beria was arrested on charges of espionage and conspiracy to seize power. Executed by the verdict of the Special Judicial Presence of the Supreme Court of the USSR in December 1953. The last secret of Lavrentiy Beria He was shot 60 years ago. But no one still knows where the grave of the bloody People's Commissar is. According to official data, L. P. Beria was arrested on June 26, 1953 in the Kremlin and in the same year on December 23, by a court verdict, he was shot in an underground bunker in the courtyard of the headquarters of the Moscow Military District. However, as archives show, official data from those years too often diverges from reality. Therefore, other versions circulating in the form of rumors also attract attention. Two of them are especially sensational... The first suggests that Beria somehow managed not to fall into the trap of a conspiracy prepared against him or even escape from the arrest that had already happened and hide in Latin America, where after 1945 almost all Nazis fled criminals. And thus he was able to stay alive for the time being... The second says that during the arrest of Beria, he and his guards resisted and were killed. They even name the author of the fatal shot, namely Khrushchev... There are those who say that the pre-trial execution took place in the already mentioned bunker almost immediately after the arrest in the Kremlin. And this rumor unexpectedly received confirmation. In the archives of Old Square, I discovered documents personally endorsed by Khrushchev and Kaganovich. According to them, Beria was liquidated even before the July 1953 Emergency Plenum of the Central Committee, convened on the occasion of exposing the criminal activities of the sinister man in the pince-nez... Where is the main enemy of the people buried? My colleagues - researchers N. Zenkovich and S. Gribanov, with whom we periodically call each other to exchange information - have collected a number of documented facts about the fate of Beria after the news of his arrest. But especially valuable evidence on this matter was discovered by the Hero of the Soviet Union, intelligence officer and former head of writers of the USSR Vladimir Karpov. Studying the life of Marshal Zhukov, he put an end to the dispute: did Zhukov participate in the arrest of Beria? The secret, handwritten memoirs of the marshal he found say directly: he not only participated, but also led the capture group. So the statement of Beria’s son Sergo that Zhukov has nothing to do with his father’s arrest is untrue! The last find turns out to be important also because it refutes the rumor about Nikita Sergeevich’s heroic shot during the detention of the all-powerful Minister of Internal Affairs and State Security. What happened after the arrest, Zhukov personally did not see and therefore wrote what he learned from hearsay, namely: “In the future, I did not take part either in the security, or in the investigation, or in the trial. After the trial, Beria was shot by the same who was guarding him. During the execution, Beria behaved very poorly, like the very last coward, cried hysterically, knelt down and, finally, soiled himself all over. In a word, he lived disgustingly and died even more disgustingly." Note: this is what they told Zhukov, but Zhukov himself did not see it... But this is what, as they say, S. Gribanov managed to learn first-hand from the real author of the bullet for the main enemy of the people, then Colonel General P.F. Batitsky: “We took Beria down the stairs to the dungeon. He smells... Stinks. Then I shot him like a dog." Everything would have been fine if other witnesses to the execution, and General Batitsky himself, had said the same thing everywhere. However, inconsistencies could have occurred due to negligence and from the literary fantasies of researchers, one of whom , the son of revolutionary Antonov Ovseenko, wrote this: “They executed a man sentenced to death in the bunker of the Moscow Military District headquarters. They took off his tunic, leaving him with a white undershirt, tied his hands with a rope behind him and tied him to a hook driven into a wooden shield. This shield protected those present from bullet ricochets. Prosecutor Rudenko read out the verdict. Beria: “Let me tell you...” Rudenko: “You’ve already said everything.” (To the military): “Gag his mouth with a towel.” Moskalenko (to Yuferev): “You are our youngest, you shoot well. Come on.” Batitsky: “Comrade commander, allow me (takes out his “parabellum”). With this thing, I sent more than one scoundrel to the next world at the front.” Rudenko: “I ask you to carry out the sentence.” Batitsky raised his hand. A wildly bulging eye flashed above the bandage, the second Beria squinted, Batitsky pulled the trigger, the bullet hit the middle of his forehead. The body hung on the ropes. The execution took place in the presence of Marshal Konev and those military men who arrested and guarded Beria. They called the doctor... All that remained was to confirm the fact of death. Beria's body was wrapped in canvas and sent to the crematorium." In conclusion, Antonov-Ovseyenko paints a picture similar to horror films: supposedly, when the performers pushed Beria's body into the flames of the crematorium and clung to the glass of the furnace, they were gripped by fear - the body of their bloody boss on the fiery the tray suddenly began to move and gradually began to sit down... Later it turned out that the service personnel “forgot” to cut the tendons, and they began to contract under the influence of high temperature. But at first it seemed to everyone that the dead executioner came to life in the flames of hell... An interesting story. However, while reporting terrible physiological details, the narrator does not provide a link to any document. Where, for example, are the acts confirming the execution and burning of Beria? This is not an empty quibble, for if anyone read the act of execution, they could not help but notice that the doctor required in such cases was not present at the execution of Beria, and did not at all testify to her... So the question arises: “A Was it Beria who was there? Or another one: “Or maybe the report was drawn up retroactively and without a doctor?” And the lists of those present at the execution published by different authors do not coincide. To prove these words, I will cite the act of execution dated December 23, 1953. “On this date at 19:50, on the basis of the order of the chairman of the special judicial presence of the Supreme Court of the USSR dated December 23, 1953 N 003, by me, the commandant of the special judicial presence, Colonel General Batitsky P.F., in the presence of the Prosecutor General of the USSR, the actual state counselor of justice Rudenko R.A. and Army General Moskalenko K.S., the sentence of the special judicial presence was carried out in relation to Lavrenty Pavlovich Beria, sentenced to capital punishment. Three signatures. And no more guarding generals (as Zhukov was told); no Konev, Yuferev, Zub, Baksov, Nedelin and Getman, and no doctor (as Antonov-Ovseenko was told). These discrepancies could have been ignored if Beria’s son Sergo had not insisted that Shvernik, a member of that same court, told him personally: “I was part of the tribunal in the case of your father, but I never saw him.” Sergo was even more doubtful by the confession of court member Mikhailov: “Sergo, I don’t want to tell you about the details, but we didn’t see your father alive”... Mikhailov did not expand on how to evaluate this mysterious statement. Either an actor was put in the dock instead of Beria, or Beria himself changed beyond recognition during his arrest? It is possible that Beria could have doubles... This concerns the act of execution. Another act - cremation, as far as I know, no one saw at all, as well as the body of the person who was shot. Of course, with the exception of those three who signed the act. They signed it, but then what? Where are the Burial or Cremation Certificates? Who cremated? Who buried? It turns out, as in the song: and no one will know where your grave is... Indeed, no one has yet provided any evidence about the burial place of Beria, although the “grave accounting department” of the state security agencies has kept records in this regard in such a way that, if necessary, you can quickly get all the information. Why was Malenkov silent? I’ll start with the letters that the arrested Beria wrote to his former “associates”. There were several of them. And all of them, as far as I know, were written before the July Plenum, i.e. from June 26 to July 2. I've read some. Of greatest interest, apparently, is the very last letter addressed “To the Presidium of the Central Committee of the CPSU. Comrades Malenkov, Khrushchev, Molotov, Voroshilov, Kaganovich, Mikoyan, Pervukhin, Bulganin and Saburov,” i.e. those who made the decision to arrest. But before citing its text in full, it is necessary to make an explanation. The vote on Beria's arrest was very tense and took place twice. The first time, according to Malenkov’s assistant D. Sukhanov, only Malenkov, Pervukhin and Saburov were in favor, while Khrushchev and Bulganin and, of course, Mikoyan abstained. Voroshilov, Kaganovich and Molotov were generally “against”. Moreover, Molotov allegedly stated that arresting one of the first leaders of the party, government and legislative branch without an arrest warrant is not only a violation of parliamentary immunity, but also of all major party and Soviet laws in general. However, when military men with weapons entered the meeting room and it was proposed to vote again, everyone immediately voted in favor, as if feeling that if they violated the “unanimity” required in such cases, then they too would be counted among Beria’s accomplices. Many are inclined to believe Sukhanov’s memories recorded years later, although we must not forget that he himself was outside the office in which the events took place. Therefore, I could only find out about what happened from hearsay. And most likely in the words of his master Malenkov, who did not really favor his rivals in the struggle for first place in power - Molotov, Khrushchev and Bulganin. However, if you believe not Sukhanov, but the aforementioned letter from Beria, then on the day of the arrest, whoever, but Malenkov and Khrushchev were more unanimous than ever. To see this, let’s read Beria’s downright screaming letter. “Dear comrades, they can deal with me without trial or investigation, after a 5-day imprisonment, without a single interrogation, I beg you all, so that this is not allowed, I ask for immediate intervention, otherwise it will be too late. You need to warn directly by phone... Why do it? the way it is now done, they put him in the basement, and no one finds out or asks anything, except that the only and correct way to resolve the case against a member of the Central Committee and his comrade without a trial after 5 days in the basement is to execute him. Once again I beg you all... ...I affirm that all charges will be dropped if you only want to investigate this. What a rush, and a suspicious one at that. I ask T. Malenkov and Comrade Khrushchev not to persist. Would it be bad if she was rehabilitated? Again and again I beg you to intervene and not to destroy your innocent old friend. Your Lavrentiy Beria." Here is such a letter. However, no matter how Beria begged, exactly what he was madly afraid of happened... At the closed Plenum, which took place from July 2 to July 7, 1953, the following words were heard in numerous accusatory speeches: which then, in the general turmoil and victorious euphoria, no one (!) paid attention to. Khrushchev was the first to let it slip, getting into the excitement of telling how they cleverly dealt with Beria, he suddenly blurted out, among other enthusiastic phrases: “Beria... let go of his spirit.” Kaganovich spoke even more definitely: “... having eliminated this traitor Beria, we must completely restore Stalin’s legal rights...” And most definitely: “The Central Committee destroyed the adventurer Beria...” And that’s the point, of course. The words of the top officials can also be taken in a figurative sense. But why then did none of them even mention that at the upcoming investigation it was necessary to properly question Beria about all his dirty deeds? It is no coincidence that, apparently, none of them even hinted that it was necessary? Beria himself should be brought to the Plenum so that everyone could listen to his confessions and ask accumulated questions, as, for example, Stalin did in relation to Bukharin. Most likely they didn’t hint because there was no one to deliver... It is possible, however, that something else happened: they were afraid that Beria would expose them and, first of all, his “old friends” Khrushchev and Malenkov... So, we established that Beria wrote letters from June 26 to July 2, the Plenum took place from July 2 to July 7, and the “statements” of Khrushchev and Kaganovich about the liquidation of Beria were made in the general turmoil and victorious euphoria, then we can assume that Beria was executed within 2 -July 6, and the executor of the sentence was Colonel General P.F. Batitsky. Nikolai Dobryukha "Rossiyskaya Gazeta" - Week No. 3370 12/20/2003, 03:50
