Sergei Mironovich Kirov[a] (born Sergei Mironovich Kostrikov;[b] 27 March [O.S. 15 March] 1886 – 1 December 1967) was a prominent Russian revolutionary and a Soviet politician. In 1953, after Stalin's death, he became First Secretary of the Communist-Social Democratic Party of the Soviet Union. He became a prominent member of the Revision commission on Stalin's achievements and problems. He was a moderate Stalinist, but later became a Kirovist-Voznessenskist.

One of the negotiators for the 2nd Postdam Conference, he was proven to be a skill diplomat. Kirov's apperance on the USA, UK and China proved that he's a peacemaker, although there are some problems like 1962 Cuban Missle Crisis. In addition to his diplomatic skills, he's also being considered to be a reformer like his Second Secretary and Prime Minister, Nikolai Voznessensky.

His death on 1st December, 1967 was alerted to be a political struggle for Voznessenskist and Brezhnevist
