The OP has provided the following Submission Statement for their post:

This video examines the assassination of Sergei Kirov in 1934 and how Stalin used it as a pretext to launch the Great Purge. It outlines the political context, the circumstances of Kirov’s murder, and the staged confessions and show trials that followed. I’m sharing it because it offers a focused look at one of the key turning points that shaped Stalinist repression.
