Voroshilov, Marshal Kliment (1881–1969), Stalin's earliest and most intimate military associate, who became the Soviet defence minister in 1925 and a marshal in 1935. His incompetence, and Stalin's obstinacy, resulted in profound embarrassment in the 1939–40
Finnish–Soviet war and his removal from the defence ministry.
In July 1941 he was appointed to command North-West
front (army group) to stem the German onslaught on
Leningrad. However, by September he had conclusively demonstrated his unsuitability for field command and was replaced. For two months in 1942, he was the nominal C-in-C of the partisan movement; and in January and December 1943, he lent his presence—briefly, in the planning stage—to offensives at Leningrad and in the Crimea. Nevertheless, Stalin retained him in the
Stavka throughout the war. He was also a member of the Soviet delegation at several Allied conferences (see
Grand Alliance) and was prominent in post-war Soviet politics.
