Few figures have inspired as much fear as Lavrentiy Beria. 

As the ruthless head of Stalin's secret police, he oversaw purges, mass arrests, deportations, and a vast system of terror that touched millions of lives. 

Yet after Stalin's death, the man who seemed untouchable found himself facing a stunning downfall of his own.

His rise and dramatic fall remain one of the darkest and most fascinating stories of the Soviet Union. 

Learn more about Lavrentiy Beria and the machinery of Stalin's terror on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.
