      WHY are supposed anarchists always so pro-capitalist and pro-fascist??

      Every time you lot will listen fiercely to what Amerika has to say about its enemies and you religiously believe it hard. Why?

        Reporter: [REDACTED]
        Reason: left unity

        That’s not a rule here. Don’t waste our time reporting things that aren’t breaking any rules.

          The only source for this about Beria is a guy named Simon Sebag Montefiore. He’s famous for 4 things:

          • Being a loud and proud anti-communist

          • Being best friends with Ghislaine Maxwell

          • Being in the Epstein Files

          • Lying about having access to unreleased Soviet Archives

          Now maybe it’s true but given the source it’s not exactly someone I’d take at their word.

              Have a linknid like to see what he cites (I’m not optimistic given his history though he held fellowships with a number of leading think tanks in the United States and Europe including the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars, the Center for Strategic and International Studies, and the German Marshall Fund of the United States).

              Amy Knight

              A link so I can check their citation would again be greatly appreciated (however again I’m not optimistic given their toes to the American “think-tank” circuit).

              But not being optimistic is no reason not to check. I just have a feeling they likely cite who I think they do (or possibly they don’t cite at all) but we’ll see.

                  Beria has long been accused of luring hundreds of women to his apartment and raping them. Television footage of the dossier showed handwritten lists of dozens of women with their telephone numbers.

                  Not really the most compelling evidence, or really evidence at all. This is very clearly narrative manufacturingnas opposed to anything of substance.

                  This is better cited it cites: Gazarian, “O Berii,” pp. 142-143. I’m assuming it means: Suren Gazarian, “O Berii i sude nad berievtsami v Gruzii”. I find 2 issues with this, first is that this article is only ~40 pages so I’m unsure what they mean by page 142-143. Second is that it’s a memoir style writing of Gazarian who was a former NKVD official in Transcaucasia who was arrested under Beria and later frees to aid Kruschev in his de-Stalinization which given what is known about Kruschevs secret speech (it was full of lies) as well as clear motive (for revenge for being wronged) doesn’t bode well.

                  I will likely edit this comment after reading Gazarian in more depth.
