Rumors[edit]

Someone 'years ago' said that Khrushchev claimed to have shot Beria personally (but that it was a vague rumour (but Enver Hoxha was also claimed to have done the same thing). Anna Livia (talk) 14:48, 10 June 2021 (UTC)

I couldn't find anything on either of those claims unfortunately. Nonstopmaximum (talk) 09:23, 12 June 2021 (UTC)
A search reveals [1] - have come across others references in the past - Mehmet Shehu being the subject. The K-B story was stated to be 'word of mouth and unsubstantiated': noting it for the record.
Whatever else 'Beria was a nasty piece of work' going by some of the stories. Anna Livia (talk) 10:35, 12 June 2021 (UTC)
