Beria has long been accused of luring hundreds of women to his apartment and raping them. Television footage of the dossier showed handwritten lists of dozens of women with their telephone numbers.

Not really the most compelling evidence, or really evidence at all. This is very clearly narrative manufacturingnas opposed to anything of substance.

This is better cited it cites: Gazarian, “O Berii,” pp. 142-143. I'm assuming it means: Suren Gazarian, “O Berii i sude nad berievtsami v Gruzii”. I find 2 issues with this, first is that this article is only ~40 pages so I'm unsure what they mean by page 142-143. Second is that it's a memoir style writing of Gazarian who was a former NKVD official in Transcaucasia who was arrested under Beria and later frees to aid Kruschev in his de-Stalinization which given what is known about Kruschevs secret speech (it was full of lies) as well as clear motive (for revenge for being wronged) doesn't bode well.

I will likely edit this comment after reading Gazarian in more depth.
