@Punished_Potatus @MisterLister @PoalackJokes88 @ColonReport David Duke's book on the subject speculates that Beria was a crypto-jew like Lenin, Lev Bronstein (Trotsky) and Lenin, all if whom came from families that converted to Christianity in order to avoid persecution under Saint (Tsar) Nikolas.

I'm inclined to believe that Beria was abnormally good at covering up the details of his early life, we may never know.
