Nikolai Voroshilov

Nikolai Arturovich Voroshilov (Cykoslevine: Николай Артурович Ворошило trl. Nikolay Arturovich Voroshilov) was a Cykoslevine politician who served as Minister of Internal Affairs from 1944-1962 and Minister of Defense from 1970-2003.

Born to a military family in Cykoslevinia, Voroshilov was quick to be enlisted into the Academy of Evoras, a prominent military school. Voroshilov was taught as all Cykoslevine soldiers were, though he would take a keen interest in internal security, eventually enlisting in the Cykoslevine Royal Police.

During his time as a Royal Police Officer, Voroshilov encountered many communists and socialists during his work, and he began to lean more and more to the left. Later, he would meet Nikolai Kalaymanov, who finally swayed Voroshilov to the socialist cause. Then, during the September Coup, Voroshilov would take up arms against the Tsarist government, and would later be elected Minister of Internal Affairs in the new Republic.

Voroshilov died of a heart attack in 2022 at the age of 103, outliving all of his revolutionary comrades.

He was awarded the Order of the Silver Rye posthumously in 2023 and the Award for Military Merit in 2025.

Voroshilov was the father Artyom Voroshilov.
