On March 6 of 1953, the day after Stalin died, Beria reunited the MVD (1953-1954) and the MGB into one body, the MVD. The post-Stalin leaders had the power hungry Beria executed and on March of 1954 the unified MVD was separated and reformed into the KGB and the MVD, a series of trials and executions did away with Beria's senior associates. Mercifully for the long suffering Soviet people, millions of political prisoners were relased from the labour camps during a period of civility wich occurred after the death of Josef Stalin, the MVD was mercifully abolished in 1960 but this only gave the KGB more power and a chance to carry on Stalin's vision of a "just" society.
