In society

When Beria was little with a curly head ...

May 29, 2017 Sergey Mitrofanov

Before we had time to move a little from the faithful “Vlasik”, who was spread rot by the evil Lavrenty Pavlovich Beria, as the first channel shocked us with the next products of the military-historical society-about the statesman of Beria, who was oppressed by evil Stalin and Abakumov. It turns out such a bad infinity. For whom from the figures of the criminal communist regime now, no one is to blame for anything, everyone was forced by circumstances and even more criminal bosses. Although, on the other hand, you are also not very digging to the military-historical society either.

Was Beria? Was! Is he a historical face? Historical. Significant? And then! Do you need to tell youth about him? How! The facts that we present to you here are generally accurate? Well ... in general ... somewhere somehow ... So what's the problem?

The problem is intonation.

She is lyrical. Here is a significant piece of the film to us little Beria with a curly head, who a) studied well; b) helped mom; c) defended his sister; d) was good (at least the boy in the film is very good); e) In no way, he did not seek to become a communist, and even more so the Chekist boss, because he was generally going to study as an engineer. It was his older comrades forced, distracted, literally forced to switch to party work. The question is (on behalf of the creators of the series “Forgotten Leaders”): How could it turn out so that from such a magnificent modest boy the fact that Khrushchev and Co. would be depicted from Beria? Yes, in any way! Everyone is lying, damned conjunctures! Although we perfectly understand that Hitler was a boy, and Paul Pot was a boy, and even Chikatilo was a boy. And they all had mothers, and they loved their mothers very much.

OK. We move on.

With a tongue twister, our state historians describe the initial choice of young Beria. And he chose, by the way, between the Mensheviks and the Bolsheviks, and the unaware of another young spectator of the 21st century, which regularly looks at the first channel, which is here and the roots of the Berievsky pathology lies.

The fact is that the Mensheviks are left-wing social democrats that reject violence. And the Bolsheviks are imperial terrorists, those who subsequently led Russia-SSR to one of the most severe dictatorships in history. That's what the conscious choice of young Beria actually was: between liberalism and political banditry. Moreover, the Mensheviks were stronger in Georgia, an independent democratic republic was formed there, but Beria (refusing to call from Moscow from an engineer’s career in favor of a sexot career), on his own initiative, contributed to its defeat. The anti -national and anti -democratic choice of Lavrenty Beria, participation in the defeat of democracy, thus, predetermined the strokes of his future political portrait, although not a word about this in the film.

But a lot is said about how he later became a good worker in the Stalinist vertical of power, loved sports, did exercises, installed a horizontal bar and played with the kids.

“Good” - of course, from our positions, from the standpoint of a modern Russian. History says that in 1938, Beria successfully sat the People's Commissar Yezhov, which for a while really suspended a large terror. As if considerable plus Lavrenty. Yezhov fell and was shot - there was a road there. Not everyone, but many were released from the dungeons. Lucky, no words. This was well written in the book of Yuri Dombrovsky "Faculty of Unnecessary things." However, the Hero of Dombrovsky, Zybin, unlike the authors of the film, did not experience puppy gratitude to the Chekists for breaking him, nevertheless released him in the wake of the “Berievskaya thaw”, because they already perfectly understood that the jaws were uncleared by accident-due to contradictions at the top, and then they would cloud again, which, in fact, happened for many.

The Beriyevskaya Thaw, which we are now hung on our ears, this, of course, is not quite serious. In one academic book dedicated to this period, it is written: this year, not 200 thousand people were arrested, as in the past, but only 100 thousand, the people breathed more freely. But I remind you for comparison that in the marshmand of 2012 only 34 people were arrested and they gave “children's” terms. However, as a result, the whole country with hypnotized went to its 37-2 and did not breathe freely.

Under Beria and directly by his orders, Trotsky (the second fiery revolutionary after Lenin) was killed, under Beria they were deported by peoples, and a notorious Katynsky execution occurred under Beria (once in the film not a word). Under Beria, Mikhoels was killed, putting a truck under the wheels, considering this justified by a special operation against the Zionists. So our “complex contradictory personality”, about which the conversation is conducted in a pseudo -objective tone, hands on the elbow in the blood, and this is already objectively. And what else should the hands of the Chekist and almost the second person be after the dictator of all time? In any case, the real, and not the lyrical marshal Beria entered the seven of the very “near circle” of the communist junta and it was not by chance that he was the first to be at the bed of the dying Stalin.

But, indeed, the portrait of Beria becomes a little harder when we are reminded of the termination of the “doctors' affairs”, about Falstart of Retalinization and his alleged plans to unite Germany, starting the construction of hospitalism in the USSR. However, the “case of doctors” was initially directed to the “close circle”, having sucked into himself the wife of Molotov - Polina Pearl, so his termination is natural after the death of the dictator. About Germany is a beautiful legend of unclear origin. Beriyevskaya “Red Stalinization” is more likely to be related to the practical component of communism, who decided - for his own safety - not to kill people in vain, but to use at construction sites. As for hospitalism, then, to be honest, this is a long-standing dream of real KEKMOMUNIST KECTOMS. The dying Lenin and his faithful student Bukharin thought about hospitalism. Another magnificent Chekist - Andropov thought about hospitalism. Everyone who dreamed of a “Chinese way” for Russia - they all thought about hospitalism. Hospapitism literally bloomed at the Chekist Putin, not very adding democracy and happiness in Russia. So Beria did not make these plans a blue hero and dissident.

The reasonable question remains: how can we still talk about these historical figures of the period of the communist dictatorship? Just denounce them or be proud of them as unique predators? To admire their state instinct, as is done in a military-historical society? What does a mysterious phrase often pronounced with pathos mean that this, they say, is our story?

When Tsereteli and Medinsky conceived their alley of the rulers of Russia, they, of course, perfectly understood that they would not stop at the Provisional Government and that it was a clever reason to restore the veneration of the murderers of the twentieth century. They will adapt to Nicholas the Second and Rurik - that’s how it will ride when they are only in the salon of Madame Tussaus. They are right: they do not forget the past. But they do not put up crimes for a show as a feat. Was? Yes. But in stone and in art, only sadness and regret to be worthy to express.
