From November 1962 to July 1971 Chairman of the Council of Ministers of the RSFSR. He had an impressive, representative appearance. According to the recollections of the former secretary of the Chelyabinsk Regional Committee of the CPSU M.F. Nenashev, “with careful observation, in conversations and speeches, he did not give the impression of a sophisticated statesman. His meetings and speeches before party activists evoked a strange impression: he talked a lot about attention to agriculture, especially livestock raising, taught tediously and tediously, showed photographs of purebred Canadian cattle, showing us his scholarship. He looked more like a mannered provincial lecturer than a statesman on the scale of Russia.” Played one of the key roles in preparing the removal of N.S. Khrushchev in October 1964. 10/13/1964. at a meeting of the Presidium of the CPSU Central Committee, which discussed the issue of removing N. S. Khrushchev, stated: “As a result of Comrade Khrushchev’s incorrect and non-partisan attitude, an intolerant situation has been created. ...Essentially, there is no collective leadership. Does not tolerate any comments. ... Shouts, insults" (APRF. Working record of the head of the General Department of the CPSU Central Committee V.N. Malin of speeches at a meeting of the Presidium of the CPSU Central Committee 13 - 14.10.1964). He sharply interrupted N.S. Khrushchev, who called the members of the Presidium his friends: “You have no friends here!” The remark was mixed by V.V. Grishin: “You are wrong,” he objected, “we are all friends of Nikita Sergeevich.” L. I. Brezhnev's rise to power was a surprise for him and, judging by his further behavior, was met negatively. Speaking to members of the bureau of the Novosibirsk Regional Committee of the CPSU, he assessed the entry of Soviet troops into Czechoslovakia in August 1968 as an erroneous step by the leadership and made it clear that he expressed this point of view at a meeting of the Politburo. On December 19, 1969, at a Politburo meeting discussing whether it was necessary to publish an article in connection with the 90th anniversary of the birth of J.V. Stalin, he firmly stated: “I am for the article. If we don’t give the article, the damage will be great” (APRF. F.3. Op. 120. D. 7. P. 609). On June 17, 1971, at a meeting of the Politburo, he proposed to approve the secretaries of regional party committees and chairmen of regional executive committees by the Council of Ministers of the RSFSR, or at least coordinate the candidates there, but was not supported by the majority. He expressed his point of view, which did not coincide with the opinion of the majority of members of the Politburo, on the construction of KamAZ, the Cheboksary hydroelectric station, and the appointment of N. A. Shchelokov to the post of Minister of Internal Affairs of the USSR. Hostile relations with L.I. Brezhnev, which arose almost from the first days of work, eventually resulted in a series of clashes, first minor, and then on fundamental issues. He claimed a more significant role in the party and state. In 1971 - 1973 Chairman of the USSR People's Control Committee. L.I. Brezhnev treated this department as superfluous: “I don’t see any benefit from people’s control. Here was Mehlis, everyone was afraid of him.” According to G. I. Voronov, attempts to convince the Secretary General of the importance of people's control as a democratic institution, unlike the times of L. Z. Mehlis, when control was state, part of the bureaucratic system, were not successful. L.I. Brezhnev believed that the chairman of the People's Control Committee should not be a member of the Politburo. According to G.I. Voronov, this belittled the role of the CPC. He could not agree with this and resigned: “In April 1973, I asked to be relieved of my duties as chairman of the USSR People's Control Committee. Then I was removed from the Politburo. And in 1976, just before the XXV Congress of the CPSU, together with Mzhavanadze, Shelepin and Shelest, they were removed from the Central Committee. Yes, Brezhnev did not want us to attend this congress. All statutory norms were violated. I was so outraged that I was going to speak out. Mzhavanadze dissuaded me: ‘‘Why? The microphone will be turned off anyway. But Shelest is a good fellow, he defiantly left the hall” (Brezhnev L.I. Materials for a biography. M., 1991. P.190). Deputy of the Supreme Soviet of the USSR of the 3rd - 8th convocations. Awarded orders and medals of the USSR. Since May 1973, a personal pensioner of union significance. Deprived of high positions by L. I. Brezhnev, during the era of Gorbachev’s changes, he did not fail to kick his offender, assessing N. S. Khrushchev’s personality differently: “Even Khrushchev’s obvious miscalculations weigh much less than the main thing that he did... Motives of the participants The plenums were different, but the result? Instead of correcting the mistakes of one outstanding personality, we relied on another – a mediocre one.” Buried in Moscow.

Born in Voronezh into a working-class family. Russian. He began his career in 1942 as an apprentice mechanic at the Voronezh Locomotive Repair Plant named after. F. E. Dzerzhinsky. In 1943 - 1944 worked as a quality control inspector at the Voronezh Aviation Plant, which was evacuated to Kuibyshev in the fall of 1941. After graduating from the aviation technical school in 1947, he became a technologist, head of the technical bureau, head of the workshop, chief product quality inspector, and secretary of the plant party committee. In 1954 he graduated without interruption from the Kuibyshev Aviation Institute. Since 1960, head of the industrial and transport department, since 1961, secretary, since 1963, second secretary of the Kuibyshev Industrial Regional Committee of the CPSU, since 1965, second secretary of the Kuibyshev Regional Committee of the CPSU. Oversaw defense industries. In 1967 - 1971 Chairman of the Executive Committee of the Kuibyshev Regional Council. In 1971 - 1975 First Secretary of the Voronezh Regional Committee of the CPSU. In July 1975 - January 1979, First Deputy Chairman of the Council of Ministers of the RSFSR. Dealt with issues of finance, material resources, and capital investments. From January 11, 1979 to 1982, Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of the USSR to the Republic of Cuba. On January 10, 1979, during the vacation of his boss M. S. Solomentsev, with whom it had recently become increasingly difficult to work, he was invited to a conversation with the head of the Department of Foreign Personnel of the CPSU Central Committee N. M. Pegov, who announced his transfer to diplomatic work. He did not agree, citing lack of experience, age, and lack of knowledge of foreign languages. He was forwarded to the Secretary of the CPSU Central Committee K.V. Rusakov, who said that the issue was discussed at the Secretariat of the Central Committee, all the pros and cons were weighed. Visits to Ya. P. Ryabov, M. S. Gorbachev, A. P. Kirilenko did not change anything: I had to go to Havana. V.I. Vorotnikov supported Yu.V. Andropov in his long-term and persistent campaign against the first secretary of the Krasnodar regional committee of the CPSU S.F. Medunov. Defending him, L.I. Brezhnev sent V.I. Vorotnikov into honorable exile - ambassador to Cuba. Yu. V. Andropov elevated V. I. Vorotnikov for loyalty to himself after the death of L. I. Brezhnev. In 1982 - 1983 First Secretary of the Krasnodar Regional Committee of the CPSU. In 1983 - 1988 Chairman of the Council of Ministers of the RSFSR. He replaced M. S. Solomentsev in this position, who was transferred as chairman of the Party Control Committee under the CPSU Central Committee. There was no delivery or acceptance of cases. According to V.I. Vorotnikov, they did not even meet. On March 11, 1985, at a Politburo meeting discussing the issue of electing the General Secretary of the CPSU Central Committee, he spoke in favor of M. S. Gorbachev: “Why is M. S. Gorbachev’s reception room always full of people? Yes, because he knows how to listen to them and wants to help them. At the same time, this is not a kind leader. He knows how to ask a person, he knows how to demand. And this, as you yourself understand, is a very important quality for our huge country” (TsKhSD. F. 89. Collection of declassified documents). A person close to M. S. Gorbachev, his comrade and ally in pre-Kremlin life and at the first stage of perestroika. As a result of the disagreements that arose regarding the principles and tactics of carrying out economic and especially political reforms, he was pushed into the background by the pro-Western oriented entourage of the Secretary General. According to the chief Kremlin doctor E.I. Chazov, initially, before N.I. Ryzhkov, M.S. Gorbachev planned V.I. Vorotnikov for the post of Chairman of the Council of Ministers of the USSR. However, he soon changed his mind: he was told that V.I. Vorotnikov was applying for the place of M.S. Gorbachev. Together with D. A. Kunaev and V. V. Shcherbitsky, he objected to the formation of the State Agricultural Industry of the USSR. On November 27, 1987, he sent a note to the Politburo “On the consequences of the anti-alcohol campaign in the RSFSR,” in which he was the first to raise the question of the negative processes that accompanied this struggle, and the need not to plan a further reduction in the production of wine and vodka products. In 1988 - 1990 Chairman of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the RSFSR, Deputy Chairman of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the USSR, in 1989 - 1990. Deputy Chairman of the Supreme Soviet of the USSR. He spoke approvingly of N. Andreeva’s article “I Can’t Give Up Principles,” published on March 13, 1988 in the newspaper “Soviet Russia,” but at the Politburo, having heard that M. S. Gorbachev had a different opinion, he clumsily made excuses. At a meeting of the Politburo on March 12, 1989, discussing draft documents for the upcoming Plenum of the Central Committee on agrarian policy, he objected to the proposal contained in M. S. Gorbachev’s draft report on the possible liquidation of collective farms: “Is it necessary in principle to pose the question this way, even hypothetically? Especially the Secretary General now, at such a time? I am categorically against it." At the April (1989) Plenum of the Central Committee, which discussed issues of national policy of the party, he objected to the proposals made for the formation of the Russian Communist Party within the CPSU. He believed that this would have a negative impact on the unity of the CPSU. Since December 9, 1989, member of the Bureau of the CPSU Central Committee for the RSFSR. In March 1990, he was elected as a people's deputy of the RSFSR and received more than 70 percent of the votes. On May 23, 1989, on the eve of the opening of the First Congress of People's Deputies of the USSR, in the building of the Council of Ministers of the RSFSR he was supposed to lead a meeting of People's Deputies of the USSR from Russia with the leadership of the CPSU and the Russian government, but he lasted only a few minutes at the microphone. It turned out that he, an experienced leader who chaired many events on a national scale, did not know how to manage a forum of dissent. Accustomed to dealing with an obedient audience, he was at a loss when faced with obstinacy and unplanned questions. Seeing this, M. S. Gorbachev began to lead the meeting. On April 20, 1990, he asked the Politburo not to recommend him for the post of Chairman of the Supreme Council of the RSFSR: his age is not the same, 64 years old, and the functions of the new Supreme Council are no longer the same, and he does not really perceive “democratic” tendencies. On May 22, 1990, he spoke at the First Congress of People's Deputies of the RSFSR with a report “On the sovereignty of the RSFSR, the new Union Treaty and democracy in the RSFSR.” At the end of the report, he proposed adopting a Declaration of Sovereignty and submitted its draft to the presidium. At the same congress, he was put forward on the list of candidates for voting for the post of Chairman of the Supreme Soviet of the RSFSR, but immediately recused himself. On June 28, 1990, at a Politburo meeting discussing issues of the upcoming XXVIII Congress of the CPSU, he proposed not to include the leaders of the republican communist parties in the Politburo: “They are also presidents. These are truly appanage princes.” Deputy of the Supreme Soviet of the USSR of the 8th - 11th convocations, People's Deputy of the USSR in 1989 - 1991. Hero of Socialist Labor (1986). The last member of the Politburo to receive this award. In 1986, at the Politburo, M. S. Gorbachev made a decision not to reward any more members of the top political leadership. He was awarded four Orders of Lenin, the Order of the October Revolution, three Orders of the Red Banner of Labor, and the Order of the Badge of Honor. According to him, from the end of 1989 he began to understand that they wanted to survive him from the Politburo: they simply stopped inviting him to important meetings. And he did not wait for resignation, but wrote a statement himself. Since 1990, personal pensioner of union significance. After the collapse of the USSR he was stripped of this title. Lived on 340 rubles. He left politics completely. Since the beginning of 1992, advisor to the All-Russian Council of War, Labor and Armed Forces Veterans.

Excerpt characterizing Voronov, Gennady Ivanovich

Boris felt that Pierre did not recognize him, but did not consider it necessary to identify himself and, without experiencing the slightest embarrassment, looked him straight in the eyes.
“Count Rostov asked you to come to dinner with him today,” he said after a rather long and awkward silence for Pierre.
- A! Count Rostov! – Pierre spoke joyfully. - So you are his son, Ilya. As you can imagine, I didn’t recognize you at first. Remember how we went to Vorobyovy Gory with m me Jacquot... [Madame Jacquot...] a long time ago.
“You’re mistaken,” Boris said slowly, with a bold and somewhat mocking smile. – I am Boris, the son of Princess Anna Mikhailovna Drubetskaya. Rostov’s father’s name is Ilya, and his son’s name is Nikolai. And I didn’t know any m me Jacquot.
Pierre waved his arms and head as if mosquitoes or bees were attacking him.
- Oh, what is this! I got everything mixed up. There are so many relatives in Moscow! Are you Boris...yes. Well, you and I have agreed. Well, what do you think about the Boulogne expedition? After all, the British will have a bad time if only Napoleon crosses the canal? I think the expedition is very possible. Villeneuve would not have made a mistake!
Boris knew nothing about the Boulogne expedition, he did not read the newspapers and heard about Villeneuve for the first time.
“We are more busy here in Moscow with dinners and gossip than with politics,” he said in his calm, mocking tone. – I don’t know anything about it and don’t think anything about it. Moscow is most busy with gossip,” he continued. “Now they’re talking about you and the count.”
Pierre smiled his kind smile, as if he was afraid for his interlocutor, lest he might say something for which he would repent. But Boris spoke distinctly, clearly and dryly, looking directly into Pierre’s eyes.
“Moscow has nothing better to do than gossip,” he continued. “Everyone is busy with who the count will leave his fortune to, although perhaps he will outlive us all, which is what I sincerely wish...
“Yes, it’s all very difficult,” Pierre picked up, “very difficult.” “Pierre was still afraid that this officer would accidentally get into an awkward conversation for himself.
“And it must seem to you,” Boris said, blushing slightly, but without changing his voice and posture, “it must seem to you that everyone is busy only with getting something from the rich man.”
“So it is,” thought Pierre.
“And I just want to tell you, in order to avoid misunderstandings, that you will be very mistaken if you count me and my mother among these people.” We are very poor, but I, at least, speak for myself: precisely because your father is rich, I do not consider myself his relative, and neither I nor my mother will ever ask or accept anything from him.
Pierre could not understand for a long time, but when he understood, he jumped up from the sofa, grabbed Boris’s hand from below with his characteristic speed and awkwardness and, flushed much more than Boris, began to speak with a mixed feeling of shame and annoyance.
- This is strange! I really... and who could have thought... I know very well...
But Boris interrupted him again:
“I’m glad I expressed everything.” Maybe it’s unpleasant for you, excuse me,” he said, reassuring Pierre, instead of being reassured by him, “but I hope I didn’t offend you.” I have a rule of saying everything directly... How can I convey it? Will you come to dinner with the Rostovs?
And Boris, apparently having relieved himself of a heavy duty, getting out of an awkward situation himself and putting someone else in it, became completely pleasant again.
“No, listen,” Pierre said, calming down. – You are an amazing person. What you just said is very good, very good. Of course you don't know me. We haven’t seen each other for so long... since we were children... You can assume in me... I understand you, I understand you very much. I wouldn't do it, I wouldn't have the guts, but it's wonderful. I am very glad that I met you. It’s strange,” he added, after a pause and smiling, “what you assumed in me!” - He laughed. - Well, so what? We'll get to know you better. Please. – He shook hands with Boris. – You know, I have never been to the count. He didn’t call me... I feel sorry for him as a person... But what to do?
– And you think that Napoleon will have time to transport the army? – Boris asked, smiling.
Pierre realized that Boris wanted to change the conversation, and, agreeing with him, began to outline the advantages and disadvantages of the Boulogne enterprise.
The footman came to summon Boris to the princess. The princess was leaving. Pierre promised to come for dinner in order to get closer to Boris, firmly shook his hand, looking affectionately into his eyes through his glasses... After he left, Pierre walked around the room for a long time, no longer piercing the invisible enemy with his sword, but smiling at the memory of this dear, smart and strong young man.
As happens in early youth and especially in a lonely situation, he felt an unreasonable tenderness for this young man and promised himself to make friends with him.
Prince Vasily saw off the princess. The princess held a handkerchief to her eyes, and her face was in tears.
- It's horrible! terrible! - she said, - but no matter what it costs me, I will do my duty. I'll come over for the night. He can't be left like that. Every minute is precious. I don’t understand why the princesses are delaying. Maybe God will help me find a way to prepare it!... Adieu, mon prince, que le bon Dieu vous soutienne... [Farewell, prince, may God support you.]
“Adieu, ma bonne, [Farewell, my dear,” answered Prince Vasily, turning away from her.
“Oh, he’s in a terrible situation,” the mother said to her son as they got back into the carriage. “He hardly recognizes anyone.”
“I don’t understand, mamma, what is his relationship with Pierre?” - asked the son.
“The will will say everything, my friend; Our fate depends on him...
- But why do you think that he will leave anything to us?
- Ah, my friend! He is so rich and we are so poor!
“Well, that’s not a good enough reason, mummy.”
- Oh my god! My God! How bad he is! - exclaimed the mother.

When Anna Mikhailovna left with her son to visit Count Kirill Vladimirovich Bezukhy, Countess Rostova sat alone for a long time, putting a handkerchief to her eyes. Finally, she called.
“What are you talking about, dear,” she said angrily to the girl, who made herself wait for several minutes. – Don’t you want to serve, or what? So I'll find a place for you.
