Sergei Mironovich Kirov (1886–1934), real surname Kostrikov, was one of the most prominent Bolshevik leaders of the 1920s–early 1930s, First Secretary of the Leningrad Regional Committee of the VKP(b), member of the Politburo, and a close associate of Stalin. His assassination on December 1, 1934, in Smolny became the official pretext for the Great Terror, launching mass repressions across the USSR.
This 1934 collection, published by Partizdat (the Central Committee’s Party Publishing House) shortly before or immediately after Kirov’s death, compiles his key articles, speeches, and reports from that year. The volume reflects Kirov’s role in implementing the Second Five-Year Plan, industrialization, collectivization in Leningrad region, cultural construction, and anti-opposition campaigns. Texts include addresses to party conferences, reports on economic achievements, ideological statements against “right deviationists,” and calls for vigilance and discipline — typical of high-level party rhetoric in the early Stalin era.
The edition opens with portraits of Kirov (including posthumous ones in some copies) and concludes with brief editorial notes. Issued in a sturdy full-cloth binding, it served as official propaganda material and a memorial tribute to the “loyal Leninist” whose murder was portrayed as a counter-revolutionary act.
A rare and symbolically charged artifact of 1934 Soviet political literature, this book is highly collectible for historians of Stalinism, Kirov cult studies, Great Terror origins, Leningrad party history, and early 1930s Partizdat imprints.
