I think you could justify it as they'd known, sure, but they'd never even dared to say anything because it would have meant Beria and possibly Stalin as well coming down on them. So the hatred of Beria had been held inside, festering along with their fear of him, until suddenly he was powerless and in their hands and it all had a chance to explode and be unleashed on Beria with no repercussions.
@WeltSchmerz1349
Жыл бұрын
@@thewandering01 In fact, they didn't fear of Beria so much. It was about 15 years after The Great Purge when even the highest Soviet elite died like flies from plumbum intoxication, and no state minister or army marshall could feel safe for his life. But very soon after that, situation in elite circles stabilized. Stalin got rid of "hostile elements" (all those able to become an opposition to him), then formed a loyal clan to ensure his political monopoly. In other terms, he established absolute monarchy with a loyal court. A bit later, WW2 strengthened that autocracy. So the court of Stalinist "noblemen" felt themselves too confident to fear some Beria (he wasn't even a "top headsman" of The Great Purge in 30s - that terror campaign was provided by Yagoda and Yezhov. While Beria even judged and executed the latter: speaking in modern terms, Yezhov became too much toxic to stay alive). The utter fear of Beria that paralyzed even words - it's accurate to say about the ordinary Soviet people. Even about elite of non-governmental level. Notice that massive repressions didn't stop even in 1941-45 wartime. No freedom of speech existed in Stalinist USSR at all. Even the softcore political joke or a word of slightest disagree with official politics - it could ruin human life and lead the careless to GULAG, or even to Helheim mists. I know what I'm speaking about, it was gruesome time in our history - Ukraine was a part of USSR back then, we suffered repressions, Golodomor (Starvation Genocide), Executed Renaissance with almost 100% elimination of Ukrainian culture... I know many unsettling things about Stalin's times from my grandparents and other people of older generations, not only from historical sources). But speaking about Stalinist court, they could rather feel a bit of loath and disgust towards Beria - but not even too much. Status quo was more than suitable for them. Yep, there could be sense of fear as well, Beria probably had dirt on many Stalin's courtiers to blackmail in case of personal conflict - but this factor wasn't essential. Those elitists just didn't give a flying fcuk about Beria's antics. Simple and cynical. Things changed only after Stalin's death. At that moment, Soviet elite realized that Beria is not a kinky yet tolerable molester of girls - he's a mortal enemy able to launch the Great Purge V2.0 and kill anyone on his way. So they had to strike first and act harsh. This is exactly when they "suddenly investigated the shocking truth - Beria is a vampire!!1!1" and "boiled up with righteous anger" )) But in any case, anti-Beria conspiracy was an action for the good of all. A type of targeted killing: despite the blatant lawlesness and absurd of this parody trial, it saved USSR people from the tyranny even worse than in Stalin's time. And opened the way to the long-awaited period known as Khrushchev's Thaw. Being a threat, Beria was eliminated in a radical manner. This is what really matters here, background details are insignificant.

This was one of the few scenes that was largely improvised. The director wanted it to feel chaotic so he gave the actors a broad outline, told them to read the charges, shout over each other, and then shoot Beria. Jason Isaacs, who played Zhukov, said in a Q&A that he wanted to be the one to shoot Beria, and you can see him lining up to take the shot before the other actor steps in. His surprise was real, and he improvised the "well that's got it done" response.

I think an understated part of this scene is Malenkov’s reaction after he reads the charges. He spends the prior scene insisting that Beria be given a proper trial, signs the order Kruschev gives him under protest, and then you see him read over the charges in this scene. You see him take on an expression of stone-cold contempt for Beria as he slowly sets down the paper and understands that this monster had to die. Great performance by Jeffrey Tambor, there.

They all knew Beria crimes long before the trial they only decided to do something after he threatened to expose them first and because he was the most powerful opposition. Beria was a monster but they're all culpable in someway for hiding and ignoring his crimes until it was convenient for them

I had another take on it. Malenkov was just too weak to condemn Beria to death personally. So he just punted and left the task to Khruschev by default.

His mistake was underestimating Khrushchev and thinking of him as a "nobody". But that's not as ripe with comedic potential.

@@daz7052 Yes. And it was successful targeted killing, the case when one death of one motherfcuker saves lives of millions. Imagine Beria winning and taking the supreme power - USSR would fall into the tyranny even more gruesome than in Stalin's times. But he was eliminated, and since that, the long-awaited period known as Khruschev's Thaw has begun. I know that from my parents and grandparents (I'm Ukrainian, my country was a part of USSR back then) - it was like a fresh wind, a Renaissance after the dark ages. People finally felt themselves free, no more fear to be arrested in the dead of night for a careless word or political joke. it was a cultural rebirth as well, Soviet youth began its reintegration into the world culture, rock music, etc... - after the decades of isolated totalitarian art domination. A bit later, Soviet system became harsher again (I mean Brezhnev's "stagnation epoch") - but it wasn't as cruel as in times of Stalinism.

This is historically accurate: Beria died weeping and begging for mercy. His predecessor head of the NKVD, Nikolai Yezhov (who oversaw the deaths of tens of thousands of people during the Great Purge) died almost exactly the same way, crying and begging for mercy. Beria was his second in command and betrayed him and supervised his execution. Yezhov had supervised the execution of his own predecessor, Genrikh Yagoda, who was also a mass murderer. One has to appreciate the dark irony of the fates of Stalin's secret police chief

Maybe Beria had something to do with Stalin's death, and maybe he didn't. But his actions following Stalin's passing was so, so telling. He knew his only real protection was that Stalin was as psychopathic as he was, and with the boss dead, he had to appear merciful, as if he was only following the orders of Stalin. Thankfully, the rest of the Soviet leadership saw right through his BS. I can't imagine what a USSR with Beria at the helm would have been like. Also, Jason Isaacs had be in stitches in every scene he appeared in. Total scene stealer.The look on his face after the soldier shoots Beria, he looks like he's about to tune the guy up. But the look was really one that said, "Damn. That was hardcore."
