Throught the 1920's and 1930's he rose through the ranks at an incredible pace, specialising in the intelligence and counter intelligence operations of Cheka and its many successors. Ultimately becoming the leader of the People’s Commissariat for Internal Affairs (NKVD). According to legend, he personally strangled the man who held the job before him, to ensure the position for his promotion. In 1935 he had become one of Stalin's most trusted and capable subordinates.

Beri was not only a skilled poltical player and manipulator, he was a remorseless killer. As head of the NKVD he would subject suspects to extreme and brutal torture until they gave him the answers he wanted. Where ever he went people went missing, it was Beria who personally oversaw many of Stalin's political purges. The infamous Gulug ~~work camps~~ all worked under his supervision.
