No. If the documents exist and if they are genuine Soviet articles, 
then they tell us interesting things about the sources of the Korean 
War germ-warfare accusations. That the germ warfare accusations were 
false may well have been to Beria's advantage in the days around 
Stalin's death, but that doesn't make them true...
