For almost eighty years, bourgeois historians, armchair academicians and garden variety Russophiles have collectively regarded Sergei Kirov’s 1934 murder as one of the greatest unsolved murders of the modern era. But how can a crime be “unsolved” if the same group of agenda-driven conspiracy buffs simultaneously point every conceivable finger of guilt at the West’s favorite boogeyman, Joseph Stalin? Researcher Grover Furr exposes the shameless duplicity of the anti-Stalin paradigm that is replete in most major accounts of Kirov’s murder, offering complete and original translations of key historical documents and detailed analysis of their significance in an important synthesis that effectively reconsiders one of the most important events in the history of the Soviet Union. Written with the same diligence and care as his 2011 work Khrushchev Lied, Furr’s book The Murder of Sergei Kirov: History, Scholarship and the Anti-Stalin Paradigm is a resoundingly bold rejoinder to decades of unfettered omission, distortion and misinformation by Western historians.
