The main authority on Stalin Ludo Martens who wrote the classic biography of the man who was probably the greatest man of the 20 th century and most definitely one of the truly greatest men of all time, "Another view of Stalin", comes out quite harshly on Lavrenty Beria the leader of The People's Commissariate of Internal Affairs, even going so far as to suggest he had a hand in the death of Uncle Koba and was as bad as the part of the revisionist clique that sentenced him to death in 1953.
However this article that I came across recently suggests that Beria wanted to deepen the democratic reforms that Stalin had started and desired to do (it must be remembered that the government of Comrade Stalin was a lot more democratic than that of the early Bolsheviks and the tyranny of Nikita Khrushchev which followed).
Grover Furr: "Stalin and the Struggle for Democratic Reform, Part One"
And this article raises serious questions about the treatment of Lavrenty Beria in "Another view of Stalin".
