Beria wasn't just Stalin's Himmler. He was also Stalin's Epstein.

Imagine how evil you have to be for Josef Stalin to be afraid of leaving his daughter alone with you

This is important to remember. Soviets were not any better than nazis, they just happened to land on the winning side because of Hitlers arrogance.

"Stalin was Evil, but..." is the start of a dark joke or the end of a dark career.

The Death of Stalin is one of the greatest satires I've ever seen, I hope that shapes how future generations view Beria et al as power hungry incompetent fools.

I don't know what's more fucked up, that Beria was such a monster that Stalin didn't want his daughter near him or that people feel nostalgic for Stalinism?

After Beria's death, they dug up his back yard, unearthing at least a dozen young girls and women.

Bro, imagine being so depraved that even Stalin can't trust him with his own daughter

When Stalin isn’t the most evil person with his inner circle, that’s when you know he was a despicable human being.
He was basically the Himmler to Stalin’s Hitler, except he was a huge kiss ass, a sadist, a coward, and a creep.

My eyes grow wide at the people saying how this vid is "propaganda" or "crap". My great grandfather was killed in Katyń. I went to school with Chechen refugee kids cos they are still in danger in Russia to this day. Growing up I was sure that those atrocities are obvious and we're as a society moving in the right direction. Now as an adult I live among opinions like that. Srsly get a grip ppl...

Thank-you for doing a video on this topic. In school we learned everything about what Hitler did, but nothing about the massacres commited by Stalin. My grandfather was one of the crimean germans that ended up escaping, but not before being starved for years and having everything of value stolen from them. His father was arrested several times and severely tortured. They tried to get him to sign a confession admitting he was a german spy. He refused no matter how much he was tortured. The family that signed were sent to siberia and never heard from again. My grandfather, with his parents and brothers, escaped to germany with retreating german soldiers, and then later fled to austria as the russians approached. They did everything they could not to get sent back after the war because they new they'd be killed. Fortunately they were able to imigrate to canada. I recently found some distant relatives who survived and now live in Kazakhstan. My grandfather just turned 100 years old a few days ago. Its incredible to think about everything he went through growing up.

You have to be uniquely evil if even Joseph Stalin didn’t want you anywhere near his daughter.

"Show me the man and I'll find you the crime."

— Lavrentiy Beria

Beria and Himmler are virtually indistinguishable.

So, in other words, Napoleon's dogs in Animal Farm were based on a real person, not just a real organization.

The only reason why we talk more about Hitler and the Nazis in terms of evil rather than Stalin and the Bolshiviks is because stalin finished on the winning side. Let's not forget though that stalin started the war on Hitlers side.

"I will bury you in history!"
And he was right. I had never heard of Beria until I saw The Death of Stalin.

But at least Death of Stalin is now how all of history will remember Beria.

Never underestimate the power of parody to tell posterity the truth.

Beria made Himmler look like an amateur.

Stalin introduced Beria to Churchill as "My Himmler"
