The death of Sergei Mironovich Kirov (1886-1934), the brilliant speaker, and the Bol`sheviks` star and sweetheart, increased the list of secrets of the soviet regime. Most of the books about him were based on myths rather than reliable sources. This book is the first academic biography of Kirov which tells about his life, virtues, and weaknesses. The author investigated numerous apocryphal stories about him for almost thirty years, and compared them with newly opened documents. She concluded that Stalin was not behind Kirov`s assassination by L. Nikolaev. Chronology of Kirov`s life, name index. Bibliographic references.
