That was a good presentation — thanks for posting. The “ending” I was told years ago paralleled the youtube narrative, but at the end of the Presidium meeting, Khrushchev pulled out a revolver and shot Beria in the head, because he was too dangerous to let it wait; the subsequent Supreme Ct trial was staged to explain it to the public.

KHRUSHCHEV: What if we blame this on someone...

MARSHAL ZHUKOV: Wait. (holds his hand up in warning)

KHRUSHCHEV: ..who's out of control.

MARSHAL ZHUKOV: Nicky, be very careful what you say next. Who?

KHRUSHCHEV: Beria.

MARSHAL ZHUKOV: I'm gonna have to report this conversation. Threatening to do harm or obstruct any member of the Presidium in the process of...(breaks into a maniacal grin and begins giggling) Look at your f**king face!
