recently been released by the Archive Department of the Georgian
Ministry of Internal Affairs, and is available for download in PDF
format: http://archive.security.gov.ge/saarqivo_moambe_3.pdf

The Archives Department has also published an Appendix to the 3rd
Edition, entitled "Correspondence between Lavrenty Beria and Joseph
Stalin: 1937," which provides photographs of original telegrams (in
Russian) sent by Beria to Stalin in Moscow from File No. 152 (Opis 14)
of the Georgian Central Committee archive:

In addition, they have produced a short film (in Georgian with English
subtitles) as an extension of one of the articles in the 3rd edition,
called "File 171: the Gindia Case," based on the criminal file of an
Abkhaz separatist from the late 1970s:
