Description:

Lavrentiy Beria and his family lived modestly, a fact noted by contemporaries and even praised by Joseph Stalin, who said, "You live modestly, well done!" Beria's modesty stemmed from his caution, as he entrusted his finances to Colonel Boris Lyudvigov, head of the secretariat of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Beria maintained a savings book with Lyudvigov, replenishing it regularly because his salary of 3,500 rubles far exceeded the average monthly wage of 339 rubles. After Beria's arrest, Lyudvigov was also arrested and the savings book seized. According to Kirill Stolyarov, author of "Games in Justice", the book held 363,000 rubles.
