I believe that the murder was ordered by Stalin, arranged by the NKVD and carried out by Nikolayev. The evidence is plain to see. Nikolayev was nervous and his health was poor, but he was a good supporter of the party. The NKVD just needed one little favor. Kirov's ideas would reduce the status of the NKVD; desperate, they turned to Stalin, a man with little power but a great need for it. A man is seen with Leonid, practicing use of a revolver, the weapon used against Kirov. Stalin played the part of sad party secretary well. The bodyguard was also mysteriously killed. Although there is no direct evidence to show that Stalin was the one who gave the order, but a suggestion is made by the evidence.
