Lavrentiy Beria was the head of the Soviet secret police unit(s) from the start of WWII until his arrest and execution in 1953. He was in the business of fear and business was good. He was the instrument by which Stalin conducted his brutal purges of the Red Army and the industrial infrastructure, and it was Beria who endorsed the execution of the Polish military officers and intelligentsia at the Katyn Massacre in 1940, and is suspected of being complicit in Stalin's death in 1953. Upon the death of the supreme ruler of the Soviet Union, Beria made a play to gain more power for himself, a move that struck fear in the hearts of key members of the Politburo. He was arrested on trumped up charges for acts he had committed under Stalin's command and summarily executed. Afterwards, it was revealed that Beria had made a practice of cruising the streets of Moscow in his armored Packard limousine, looking for attractive young ladies. He would have his driver invite them to Beria's dacha and when they arrived, they would be raped. The driver would wait by the exit door and offer the girls a bouquet of flowers. If the girls accepted, then the sex was deemed consensual. If the girls refused, the flowers were wreaths for their graves.
He also liked arresting young women, bringing them to NKVD headquarters, and torturing them. This is the inspiration for Russian-Spanking.com's RS61 - Beria 1 , the first of a two-part series.
In this film, poor Potemkina (played by Elena Vedishneva) has been arrested and brought before Mr. Beria for questioning. She is forced to strip out of her maid's outfit and be inspected. Mr. Beria accuses her of withholding information about her father and orders Col. Voroznov to tie her to a table. When this is complete, Mr. Beria hands the Colonel a wooden cane and orders him to beat the truth out of poor Potemkina. It's a pretty basic plot; not very complicated, just complex enough to get the job done. Like Kalishnikov's rifle, it's simple, basic, and it works.
Speaking of the girl, she's very Russian, right down to the Gorbachev birthmark under her right breast. Quiet, stoic, strong, and pretty... until the cane strokes her perfect bottom. Then she's not so strong but still very pretty. She cries but doesn't scream. She writhes and twists deliciously. I have to give RS credit. They hired a good actress for this film.
To be honest, I wasn't sure what to expect out of this, but this scene was pretty hot. The entire film is nothing but Mr. Beria trying to get Potemkina to confess, then counting one or two strokes, the girl crying and twisting, and Comrade Beria interrogating her some more. Do we really need anything more than that? No, because in Soviet Russia, complex plots are the work of imperialists!
RS used at least three cameras so we get to see Potemkina sob and cry and squirm and twist from a number of different angles. Screen resolution is much better than the earlier RS77 film I saw (apparently they upgraded their equipment with the profits from the earlier films) and they had an actual post-production team to do editing and support. The sound on my clip had a noticeable electronic thump-thump-thump (possibly from KGB listening devices) and there are still some places where you can tell a scene was stopped and then re-started, but offhand I'd say the poor edits only bothered me once or twice.
Eventually, Mr. Beria decides that it is getting late. Col. Voronzov unties poor Potemkina and forces her to face a wall, to think about her crimes against Mother Russia and confess against her father. I counted 47 strokes of the cane, delivered hard enough to cause some welting and bruising. I have to give Ms. Vedishneva credit for handling the pain she must've felt during the filming, even if they did give her breaks from time to time to recover. As the count climbed higher, she screamed and squirmed and twisted more and more. Spanking and caning fans will enjoy the film immensely. For everyone else, not so much.
This, like most of the other Russian-Spanking films, is a price-performer; low price, low budget, just good enough. Better than RS77 "SM Club", but not enough to raise it out of a "C" range. I'm giving it a "C+" based solely on the performance of Ms. Vedishneva and the use of more than one camera.
As of this writing, this film is available for $15USD, or both Beria 1 and Beria 2 as a package deal for $20USD. My advice: get the package deal, because they're worth about $10 each. The vidcaps you see in this review were taken directly from the film. The screenshots you see on the studio's website don't have the watermark that's pervasive throughout the film.
