The collection of documents includes the most informative materials that cover the preparation and conduct of the trial of L.P. Beria. For the first time, the draft Indictment against Beria is being introduced into scientific circulation, which was previously inaccessible to researchers, which made it difficult to conduct a full analysis of the circumstances of this process. This collection of documents aims to expand the public's understanding of this hitherto closed case. The published documents allow us to trace the process of preparing and making decisions on accusing L.P. Beria of state crimes.
