Beria
Buy Beria by Amy Knight on Amazon
So here's how Knight describes Lavrentiy as an adolescent in the book Beria: Stalin’s First Lieutenant, ‘Beria was a mediocre student, not excelling in any subject but considered cunning and devious.’
The host reads a quote from Amy Knight's book, 'Beria: Stalin's First Lieutenant', describing Lavrentiy Beria as a cunning and devious adolescent.
On Stalin's team
Buy On Stalin's team by Sheila Fitzpatrick on Amazon
And I've got like a couple of different quotes from these or books that I use for this: Knight's book, Sangster's book, another book called 'On Stalin's Team' that I use a lot later that's about like the whole gang around Stalin. Yeah, there's a little bit of Stalin hype house!
The Host mentions one of the source books, 'On Stalin's Team', which will be used later in the episode. It's about the whole group surrounding Stalin.
