Lavrentiy Beria
Lavrentiy Beria was a prominent Soviet politician and the head of the NKVD, the Soviet secret police, under Joseph Stalin. He played a critical role in the Great Purge and was responsible for numerous political repressions and executions. After Stalin's death in 1953, Beria briefly rose to power, advocating for reforms, but he was arrested and executed later that year by his political rivals, marking the end of his influence within the Soviet government.
