Kobulov biography

And it was mainly used as a “car for torture and murders”, although it should be noted that it was not deprived of his mind. Then he was barely 18 years old. Despite such a young age, Kobulov quickly began to advance along the official ladder: since the beginning of the 10ths, as indicated in the book “Politburo and the Beria case” edited by Oleg Mozokhin, he occupied exclusively leading posts in the secret and political department of Georgia.

Bogdan owed his advance mainly to Lawrence of Beria, who was working in Georgia at that time. However, Kobulov himself was not a mistake. At least Elena Prudnikova, the author of the book “Beria: the last knight of Stalin”, believes that Bogdan Zakharovich probably had high mental abilities, as he also worked in the economic department of the Georgian GPU. We add that Kobulov was distinguished by a rather textured appearance.

As a lover of food, he weighed more than kilograms. In addition, he had a huge head and, as indicated above, "large hairy arms and short crooked legs." It is not surprising that Lavrenty Pavlovich immediately christened the ward with a samovar. Apparently, a master of interrogations, the samovar was very dear to Beria, because the People's Commissar of the People’s Commissar to take him to Moscow.

Almost immediately after moving, he again began to prove his devotion to Lavrenty Pavlovich. For example, when, during the interrogation, one arrested suddenly pounced on Beria, Bogdan, having instantly reacted, broke his attacking neck literally with his bare hands. However, for Kobulov, this was most likely not the first time. So, Simon Sebag Montephiore in his book Stalin.

The courtyard of the Red Monarch, ”wrote that Bogdan Kobulov always took an active part in the torture of the detainees. According to the English historian, he loved to jump on the bodies of his victims and dashingly wave a club. True, sometimes, having returned from work, Kobulov sobbed, anticipating that one day he and his colleagues would have to answer for everything that he had done.

Other “exploits” was really close to the end. But while Kobulov was at the peak of his career, he managed to do a lot of terrible. The bloody pragmatist, ”it was Kobulov on the orders of Beria who led the murder of his wife Marshal Grigory Kulik Kira Simonich - murder, because a criminal case was not even opened on Simonich. Kobulov was also the organizer of the operation authorized by Stalin to liquidate the famous revolutionary Ivan Bovkun and his wife.

In addition, according to Yuri Frolov, the author of the “Great Stalinist Empire”, for the deportation of Crimean Tatars, Bulgarians, Greeks, Armenians and people of foreign citizenships living in Crimea, Bogdan Kobulov, among other figures, received the Order of the Red Banner. The death of the samovar, however, was this appointment for Bogdan Zakharovich the last: after the arrest of Lavrenty Beria, his fate was a foregone conclusion.

Kobulova was taken into custody at the end of June, right in the building of the Central Committee. According to Elena Prudnikova, author of the book “Year. Deadly games ”, he was called there under some kind of plausible pretext. Beria, V. Merkulov, V. Dekanozov, S. Goglidze, P. Meshik and L. Vlodzimirsky, were accused of "the extermination of honest and loyal party of personnel." The samovar-Kobulov, who fully pleaded guilt, was shot by the verdict of the Supreme Court of the country under the chairmanship of Marshal Ivan Konev.
