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?

This is false i think, Beria presided over the late Stalin liberalisation which he continued after Stalin died. Though i think i can understand hoxhaist calling any liberalisation of CPSU "creating extremely hostile culture". Also it might have been even simpler, if you look at both men, Khruschev was extrememly good with handling people and influences, his career is one of a well oiled snake, Beria was far from this level so personal relations might have played a significant role.
