Kirov's Assassination: The Deadly Secret of the Stalin Era
19.99 €
The book is dedicated to one of the key events of the Stalin era – the assassination of S.M. Kirov, First Secretary of the Leningrad Regional Party Committee, on December 1, 1934, and the reaction to it, which culminated in the mass repressions of 1937–1938. Historians believe that the shooting at Smolny marked the beginning of the "Great Party Purge" and the "Great Terror" – tragic events attributed to I.V. Stalin.

Author Grover Furr, an American historian with a Ph.D. and a B.A., is a professor known for his bestselling books on the Stalinist era. He examines documentary materials related to the investigation of S.M. Kirov's assassination and the subsequent trials of members of the Trotskyist-Zinoviev opposition. The book is structured as an analysis of the latest publications, drawing on materials from international archives, including the Library of Congress, the Harvard University Houghton Library, and others. Debunking errors and falsifications, the renowned author analyzes the entire spectrum of politically motivated rumors and speculation, myths, and legends associated with the assassination of S.M. Kirov.
