mp_en_viaje: (a sort of single-family dwelling). the peasants had been slowly capitalizing the space around them for centuries, before that thread got discontinued, and wealth became rather a relational sort (see "note from stalin", or see
beria's implementation of my very own "
talk with the one with the tits".
☝︎ mp_en_viaje: was
beria i nfact the proponent of much more de-stalinisation than politburo was willing to take ?
mp_en_viaje: and then you want me to tell you "what indicia". well wtf, answer some q's. the above, or "was stalin given rat poison" or "was
beria popular or impopular in 1952" or SOMETHING
mp_en_viaje: how much revisionism are you contemplating here ? eg, "
beria was so happy stalin '''died''' and prolly killed him" ?
a111: Logged on 2018-12-19 18:21 asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: puzzlers like those, make e.g. bolix look trivial ( consider, bolix physically exists and is sitting in asciilifeform's tortureroom , whereas
beria et al's docs were afaik carefully burned )
mircea_popescu: i dunno if you've seen p p pasolini's salo, but i always thought cataldi's role ("the bishop") was specifically patterned after
beria.
mircea_popescu: stalin certainly was. "designated successor" my foot, if he lived another 18 months they'd have all been decorating pikes,
beria first.
a111: Logged on 2015-02-22 21:47 asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: actually, disgraced soviet bureaucrats (usually posthumous - see hruschev's speech re: l.
beria) had 'rapacious daily rapist' tags nailed on
a111: Logged on 2015-03-04 01:20 asciilifeform: mircea_popescu:
beria actually picked up women... << based on the sources, i don't regard it as a solid historical fact
a111: Logged on 2015-10-07 13:51 asciilifeform: this is an old thing. goal-directed work - e.g., 'make atomic bomb for the motherland' - works with a
beria holding broomstick up the collective arses of the institute staff.
a111: Logged on 2018-08-22 14:27 asciilifeform: fwiw i read usg indictments as works of fiction, not particularly different from e.g. trial of lavrentiy pavlovich
beria, 'british, french, and japanese spy'
a111: Logged on 2018-09-13 22:28 asciilifeform: it's rather like how when they shot lavrentiy
beria -- pile the crimes onto 1 d00d, then flush him, and it's as if the enablers 'never happened'
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform, i tell you though, the sad situation where all that's left to gather around your piss-soaked body is
beria, hruschev, malenkov etcetera...
a111: Logged on 2017-09-30 19:33 mircea_popescu: so after reich and slavski, stalin executed slansky, and malenkov
beria to no longer bother him with the brush.

beria it was all fun and games from there on, the "discotheque" was a thing even for plebs.

☟︎ mircea_popescu: asciilifeform it's not the activity ; it's the activiter. you can have great rapist, ie gengis ; you can have soddy alley scum, ie lavernty
beria. many polish lenses, for every spinoza there's untold leahs.
mircea_popescu: and for that matter notice that stalin also didn't move against
beria mircea_popescu: got slavski > slanski ; malenko >
beria, abakumov, > hruschiov etc. not bad tbh
mircea_popescu: lol. no, stalin at right before he was about to get
beria mircea_popescu: possibly the most impressive success of us diplomacy to date - the recruitment of
beria.
mircea_popescu: had
beria not been pro-us, but symetrically anti, the fulda gap'd have been taken in a week and well... russia from sea to sea.
mircea_popescu: and for that matter,
beria actually picked up women off the street, raped them for a while and then dropped them off.
