Identity and details of Beria's wife
Beria, this member of the People's Commissariat of the USSR Ministry of Internal Affairs, was known for his formidable image. During his career, both Kremlin leaders and criminals were terrified by this terrible figure from Georgia.
His wife, Nina Gegechikry, is also shrouded in the shadow of this powerful security officer. He had reached the pinnacle of power, but now he had been forced to step down from the altar.
Nina and Belial met in prison. Nina was born in the Georgian Gegchikoli family, and although the members of the family had the blood of the Georgian royal family in their veins, they were mostly dedicated to the cause of the world revolution.
Nina's uncle was arrested by the gendarmerie, and Nina went to visit him in Kutaisi prison with food and letters. In prison, Nina sits with her uncle, next to an inconspicuous cellmate, Beria.
Belial, attracted by Nina's beauty, tries to joke with her, but Nina soon forgets about him.
Nina Gegerchicory's marriage to Beria is a mysterious and controversial story. There are three versions of the story circulating. The first version is the one of the reconstruction era, where it is said that when Nina traveled to Sukhumi in 1921 to find her brother, Beria became the chairman of the Azerbaijani Emergency Committee and owned a private train.
Nina meets Beria on the train and falls victim to his first love. Beria felt a little guilty about Nina, so they got married. The second version is a Georgian memoir, in which Beria is said to have abducted Nina from her home and taken her to a mountain village in the Caucasus.
Beria entertained Nina with traditional Caucasian customs, and she was flattered and eventually married to Beria. The third version is Nina's own statement, where she says that no one bullied her and no one abducted her.
According to Nina, she married the young Beria in 1922 for love. Either way, it's impossible to determine whether Nina and Beria's marriage was really born of love.
But what is certain is that the marriage, full of controversy and mystery, became a historical mystery.
For 16 years after they got married, they worked and raised their son, sticking to the Transcaucasian lands. Beria soared to the skies here, and was appreciated by Stalin.
In 1938, Beria was transferred to Moscow and became deputy chairman of the USSR Emergency Committee, and later rose to chairman, with Nina always by his side.
Nina, a devoted wife from a princely family, works hard in an ordinary research position and is also a mother. Instead of losing herself in ordinary life in Moscow, she shone in impeccable style and dress at receptions in the Kremlin.
However, life is always full of uncertainties. After Stalin's death, Beria was first elevated to become the new leader of the people. He closed the administration of the ** battalion, pardoned everyone, and planned democracy and reforms in the USSR.
But Khrushchev's intrigues changed all this, Nikita managed to seize the throne, and Beria was wrapped in a carpet and secretly executed in the basement. Beria's family was placed under house arrest and then transferred to prison in Lubyanka to obtain evidence of Beria's crimes fabricated by Khrushchev.
Beria's wife, Nina, is locked up in an icy confinement cell, and someone threatens to shoot her son, but Nina denies and justifies Belial. Eventually, the Beria family was stripped of their family name, money, and freedom, and exiled for many years.
Until Brezhnev came to power, the wife and son of the exiled Beria were allowed to return home and began to receive pensions.
Nina insisted on her husband's innocence and said he was not involved in the affair. During the interrogation, she said that the real culprit was Ye Raofu, who had simply taken over Beria, and that after taking over, he revoked the political execution, changed the verdict of many wrongful convictions, and pardoned many people.
Nina wrote at the end of her life that although she believed that she was fighting for great causes, in the end nothing did her country, which erased their merits.
