metadata.name: dc.description.abstract
metadata.value: Drawing on new archival documents recently released into circulation, this article investigates the
  decision-making mechanism of the Politburo of the Central Committee of the CPSU regarding the reform of state
  security bodies in the early 1950s. The reason for this was the statement of the senior investigator of the Investigative
  unit for particularly important cases of the MGB of the USSR, M. D. Ryumin, who signaled the unfavorable
  situation in the Ministry of State Security. This contributed to V. S. Abakumov’s removal from office and arrest.
  A number of other leaders of the MGB were also arrested. In October 1951, by decree of the Soviet Council of
  Ministers, M. D. Ryumin was appointed Deputy Minister of State Security, member of the Board of the MGB, and
  head of the investigative unit of the MGB. However, a year later, he was suspended from work in the Ministry
  of State Security for failing to solve the “Abakumov case” and “the doctors’ case”, and was sent to the Central
  Committee of the CPSU. Later he was appointed to the post of senior controller of the Ministry of State Control
  of the USSR. After Stalin’s death, Ryumin was arrested in July 1954 for falsifying investigative materials, torturing
  prisoners, and committing other offenses. By the decision of the Military Board of the Supreme Court of the
  USSR, he was executed.
