As the head of Stalin's dreaded secret police, the NKVD, he oversaw the Great Purge of 1934-38 and ordered the deaths of thousands. Unable to resist the power of his position, Beria sought to succeed Stalin and was in turn tried and executed himself. DS in Russian, 1p, 8"x11", [Georgia], Oct 12, 1928. With partial translation. A review of a criminal case involving a convicted prisoner counterfeiting Soviet currency. A counterfeit example of evidence present. In part, Beria states: "...Regarding a request of the prisoner about his early discharge from a prison...As I can determine from that case, Bambuhchana Vartana Hachaturovicha was sentenced to imprisonment for ten years, because he was a false paper money producer. The prisoner has spent more than 5 yeas in the prison, he is an old man and his health is not good. So, we can let him leave prison early..." Boldly signed in purple ink as chief of the Georgia OGPU (secret police); and approved by two others: Humarec and Kazakov Light general wrinkling; two small mounting remnants on verso; small stains at top edge; else VG with strong signature area.
