Voroshilov

Voroshilov is a name associated with several significant figures and places in Russian and Soviet history. Most notably, Kliment Voroshilov was a prominent Soviet politician and military leader. He was one of the earliest Bolsheviks and a close associate of Joseph Stalin. Voroshilov held various high-ranking positions, including People's Commissar for Military and Naval Affairs and later Chairman of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet, serving as the nominal head of state. He was a decorated military commander, participating in the Russian Civil War and later the Great Patriotic War (World War II).

The city of Ussuriysk in Primorsky Krai, Russia, was named Voroshilov from 1935 to 1957 in honor of Kliment Voroshilov. Also, the city of Alchevsk in Luhansk Oblast, Ukraine, was known as Voroshilovgrad from 1935 to 1959 and again from 1970 to 1990. The name Voroshilov is also borne by several Soviet-era naval vessels. The legacy of Kliment Voroshilov is complex, reflecting his significant role in the Soviet Union's formative years and its military establishment.
