"The Death of Stalin," which hits theaters in Europe and North America this month, makes light of one of the 20th century's most brutal dictators. played by Steve Buscemi; Lavrentiy Beria
Lavrentiy Pavlovich Beria (Georgian: ლავრენტი ბერია; Russian: Лаврентий Павлович Берия; March 29, 1899 – December 23, 1953) was a Soviet politician and chief of the Soviet security and police apparatus. Beria is now remembered chiefly as the executor of the final stages of Joseph Stalin's Great One nasty morning Comrade Stalin discovered that his favorite pipe was missing. Naturally, he called in his henchman, Lavrenti Beria, and instructed him to find the pipe.

Joseph Stalin died on March 5, 1953, after apparently suffering a stroke — but some suspect that he was actually poisoned. Joseph Stalin’s death in March 1953 ended his long and brutal reign as leader of the Soviet Union. Since the 1920s, he’d ruled with an iron fist.

Two days after Stalin’s stroke, the public is informed that their leader is gravely ill. Doctors can do nothing for him. Lavrenti Beria, the secret police chief, positions himself to become Stalin’s successor, but he is not the only pretender to the throne. Stalin's security chief Lavrenti Beria was executed on December 23rd, 1953. Lavrenti Pavlovich Beria was a Georgian, like Stalin, who called him ‘my Himmler’. . 401 184 491 709 570 117 32 861
