Lavrentiy Beria, Stalin's secret police chief, not only ordered the killing and deportation of thousands of innocent people, but was also a rapist and pedophile who murdered some of his victims.
This was discovered by the Soviet public during Beria's trial in 1953, after Stalin died and Beria lost a power struggle to Nikita Khrushchev. This power struggle was depicted in the 2017 movie The Death of Stalin.
Once, when Beria was at the same room as Stalin's daughter, Stalin called her and told her to leave immediately. Beria also ordered a subordinate to keep a list of women he slept with, which the Russian government released to the public in 2003.
Beria also murdered some of these women. In 1992, workers unearthed hundreds of bones at the grounds Tunisian embassy in Russia, formerly Beria's wife's rose garden. Most of them were buried naked.
Nowadays, nobody likes Beria other than a few insane tankies and Georgian ultranationalists, but the majority have never heard of him.
