The headline, "Beria ousted from Kremlin in Big Three," points to the brief power-sharing arrangement among Georgy Malenkov, Vyacheslav Molotov and Lavrentiy Beria after Stalin's death in March 1953. Beria, who had long run the Soviet secret police, was pushed aside by his colleagues that summer and executed later in 1953. The picture, dated July 9, captures the rivalry that decided who would lead the Soviet Union after Stalin.
