Rimma lived in Moscow then. She was a student at Moscow University. I thought I already said that. And did you really ask if she was in the car with Beria? Do you actually think that she would ride in the car with him? How would a teenage student get access to the personal car of Stalin's aid? She was a young girl during Beria time. She was much older when she defected in 1964. I am not sure how much clearer I can be. I didn't read it in a book. I heard it from her lips. Ponyatno?
And again I puzzled why you think that describes "two contradictory mind sets". Being afraid of being raped by Beria. Being afraid of being shot by Stalin? Not trusting Beria. Not trusting Stalin. Living in fear of Beria. Living in fear of Stalin. Wanting to stay away from Stalin. Wanting to stay away from Beria.
Yep. You are right . Those must be two completely different mind sets. They have absolutely nothing in common with each other. There is no common thread in the outlook of those two different situations. It looks like night and day.
You are one sharp cookie.
