LAVRENTY PAVLOVICH BERIA: (1899 - 1953) Russian politician, the dreaded head of Stalin's security agency, the NKVD, who 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. Rare Georgian War-date partly-printed D.S. 1p. 4to., [n.p.], Jan. 21, 1926, a document in Georgian and Russian, signed in both languages, arresting one Cheka Galdoyan, whose address he writes is "known to you". Ragged left margin with a bit of loss, file holes to top, else good. Later, Beria would have all Georgian War-era documents destroyed. $800-1,000
