Abstract: "On the instructions of the censorship authorities, we ask you to do everything possible to remove all printed works and portraits of L. P. Beria from the library and other book collections!" How many times have we heard and read that the images of Beria (then Stalin, before that Trotsky and thousands of others) have been cut out, torn out, and uprooted from documents? We all know this, but when you come across the original source, the source from which these "torn out" instructions came, it still makes you shudder. Beria turned the earth, at least one sixth of it, at his own will, with a split second of his eyebrow... Suddenly, it turned out that a few instructions, a scrap of paper, were enough to even mention it and uproot it from his folios.
