Joseph Stalin was known for his brutal purges which resulted in the executions of millions, with many more being sent to concentration camps and gulags. But one of the men who was responsible for the brutality was Lavrentiy Beria, the Head of the NKVD. He was a man who was considered a murderer, and a sadist and Beria was a ruthless ally of Stalin. He would do anything Stalin wanted, including during the Second World War purging the Red Army of people who dissented against the Dictator.
After Stalin's death, many people believed that Beria would become the next Dictator and leader of the Soviet Union. However he was ultimately ousted from power by Nikita Kruschev, who brought Beria's downfall. Beria was arrested and was then quickly sentenced to death and was accused of being a traitor and a spy for the British. He was then dragged from the courtroom kicking and screaming, and he was quickly and swiftly executed by an executioner.
