Kirov in a sentence

After Kirov's death, Stalin called for swift punishment of the traitors and those found negligent in Kirov's death.

As Kirov turned a corner, passing Nikolayev, the latter drew his revolver and shot Kirov in the back of the neck.

Borisov appears to have stayed well behind Kirov, some 20 to 40 paces (some sources allege Borisov parted company with Kirov in order to prepare his luncheon).

Kostrikove began using the pen name "Kir", first publishing under the pseudonym "Kirov" on April 26, 1912.

On 15 October 1934, Nikolaev packed his Nagant revolver in a briefcase and entered the Smolny Institute where Kirov worked.

On 1 December 1934, the usual guard post at the entrance to Kirov's offices was left unmanned, even though the building served as the chief offices of the Leningrad party apparatus and as the seat of the local government.
