Beria is well-known to be a pedophile, and he is shown selecting a victim, complimenting her, etc. No sexual contact is shown. The other characters all know about it and tolerate it as long as it's convenient for them.

They capture a man while he is out walking his dog. They take the man and leave the dog out on his own. Not exactly “abuse”, but still kind of upsetting.

The movie is very outspoken against the soviet union and its institutions, police included. It depicts in brutal detail a few of the crimes and brutality of the NKVD(the Soviet secret Police force headed by the aforementioned Lavrentiy Beria), such as a scene where agents of the NKVD fire into a crowd of mourners

Not exactly. A whole pack of doctors do a "house call" for Stalin and are later shown performing a somewhat gory autopsy.

Lots of people being shot though there's rarely a lot of blood, and one person's scalp and skull are opened fairly graphically.
