Most westernoids know about Beria is from the death of Stalin movie which is completely inaccurate so I’m asking is, are the rape accusations against him real, and are they even relevant?

Both of those things can be true
I don’t want to live in a world where Beria was both a huge sexual predator AND the ideal successor to Stalin. If Stalin and his inner circle knew of what Beria is doing then they were complicit, i don’t want Khrushchev to be right. Ideally I’m fine with censoring this part of history in order to maintain the historical narrative that Stalin did no wrong.
Without commenting on the underlying facts, this is a terrible approach, bordering on
Do note that Malenkov (who followed the main line of the party at the time) was General Secretary between Stalin and Krushchev but got strong-armed out until he resigned from all of his positions and got banished to Kazakhstan after trying to seize power with his allies in ‘57
This is terrible take. You are going to bury important part of the history because you believe people like Khrushchev and Montefiore who are verified to always lie just because the bubble had you surrounded. And in this, you are resigning history to them.
Regardless of anything, we should never ever resign history to reactionary "research"
Oh lol sorry, I was responding to this:
