Biography
Biography
Voroshilov was born as Vladimir Kolmanovich in Simferopol, to senior ministerial official Yakov Davidovich Kolmanovich and his wife Vera Borisovna, a seamstress. In 1943 the family evacuated to Moscow. In Moscow, Voroshilov attended an artistic school for gifted children, graduating to the faculty of painting at the State Art Institute of the Estonian SSR. He later studied also at Moscow Art Theatre (MKhAT). In 1954, he spent a year in Germany, as an artist in the theatre of the Group of Soviet Forces in Germany. In 1955—1965, with MKhAT, he was involved in operatic theatre. He became a producer at the Contemporary and at the Taganka Theatre.

Vladimir Voroshilov, Nataliya Stetsenko and Andrey Kozlov finished their part of the cruise provided by a sponsor as a gift for winning the game on December 25th 1993 and "passed the torch" to Alexey Blinov and his team.
