Some more information about Kirov:
During the Civil War (1918–1922) S.M. Kirov participated in organizing the defense of Astrakhan against the White Guard troops A.I. Denikin and A.V. Kolchak.
Kirov became one of the founders of the Transcaucasian Socialist Federative Soviet Republic (TSFSR) in 1922. As first secretary of the Central Committee of the Bolshevik Communist Party of Azerbaijan, Sergei Mironovich led the restoration and reconstruction of the oil industry of the republic.
In February 1926, he became the first secretary of the Leningrad Provincial Committee of the All-Union Communist Party of Bolsheviks. Under Kirov, an industrial and local fuel and energy base is being created in Leningrad and the Leningrad region, and the city economy is being reconstructed.
December 1, 1934 S.M. Kirov was assassinated in Smolny by L.V. Nikolaev. Vase with the ashes of S.M. Kirov is installed in the Kremlin wall in Moscow.
In Soviet times, Kirov's activities in Leningrad and his personality were mythologized in the image of a martyr - a faithful follower of V.I. Lenin and I.V. Stalin, who died for the ideals of Bolshevism. Cities, streets, enterprises, institutions and groups were named after Kirov.
