It was first used as a weapon after Stalin's death, in the overthrow and execution of Secret Police Boss Lavrenty Beria. Even then, mention of the case was confined to a secret memorandum foreshadowing the later declaration in Khrushchev's famed 20th Party Congress speech on Feb. 24, 1956 that it was "precisely Beria" who "fabricated" the charges against the Zhdanovites.
