Most westernoids know about Beria is from the death of Stalin movie which is completely inaccurate so I’m asking is, are the rape accusations against him real, and are they even relevant?

I am not an expert on the subject, and frankly it wouldn't shock me either way. However, it is interesting to note that Beria is the only one of Stalin's "team" whose files still haven't been declassified. Stalin, Molotov and Khrushchev archives etcetc are all open; Beria's is still sealed. It isn't even because of secret police classification: the preceding heads' archival stuff is also accessible to scholars. (Source on this is Sheila Fitzpatrick's On Stalin's Team.)
