This 1939 memorial collection was published to honor the memory of Sergei Mironovich Kirov, a high-ranking Soviet official whose assassination in 1934 became a pivotal event used to justify the Great Purge. Compiled by V. S. Azarov, the volume is a characteristic artifact of the Stalinist personality cult, containing speeches, tributes, and literary works that mythologized Kirov as a martyr for the Communist cause. The edition is distinguished by the artistic contribution of Mark Abramovich Kirnarsky (1893–1942), a noted Soviet graphic artist whose cover and interior designs for this book reflect the neoclassical, decorative traditions of the "World of Art" movement, offering a stylistically refined contrast to the typical socialist realist aesthetic of the period. This book is a significant primary source for understanding the propaganda mechanisms and visual culture of late 1930s Soviet Russia.
