On the day of Stalin's funeral, Khrushchev lies to Molotov and Zhukov that the Committee unanimously support action against Beria. Zhukov informs his men, who relieve the NKVD at their posts and arrest Beria. Khrushchev coerces Malenkov into signing Beria's arrest warrant. At a hasty trial, Khrushchev and his allies find Beria guilty of, sexual assault, rape, and pedophilia. In an ensuing struggle, a soldier prematurely shoots Beria in the head. As Beria's body burns, Khrushchev gives Svetlana a ticket to Vienna and assures her that her brother, Vasily, will be cared for.
