Kruschev was smart enough to get himself into trouble but never quite smart enough to get out of it. Tragically Beria was capable of running the Soviet Union post Stalin but was on a personal level a monster.
Like how Henry the 8th was the one to break the political power of the dukes and barons thus enabling England to modernise but was also a serial killer
Which policies of Berias in particular do you support? or think were needed to continue the USSR and how did they differ from Khrushchev?
Because his actions while in power were exactly the sort of things Khrushchev have been criticized for here to my mind. Destalinization and liberalising. Add in possibly selling off parts of the USSR for a Marshall plan.
he did a particularly neat job with the unification of countries in a similar situation to Germany unlike the absolute mess that was the East / West Germany situation and its exacerbation of the cold war
