== Personal life == Voroshilov was married to Ekaterina Voroshilova, <nowiki> </nowiki>born Golda Gorbman, who came from a Jewish Ukrainian family from Mardarovka. She changed her name when she converted to Orthodox Christianity in order to be allowed to marry Voroshilov. They met while both exiled in Arkhangelsk, <nowiki> </nowiki>where Ekaterina was sent in 1906. While both serving on the Tsaritsyn Front in 1918, where Ekaterina was helping orphans, they adopted a four-year-old orphan boy who they named Petya.<sup>[18]</sup> They also adopted the children of Mikhail Frunze following his death in 1925. During Stalin's rule they lived in the Kremlin at the Horse Guards.<sup>[19]</sup> His personality as it was described by Molotov <nowiki> </nowiki>in 1974: "Voroshilov was nice, but only in certain times. He always stood for the political line of the party, because he was from a working <nowiki> </nowiki>class, a common man, very good orator. He was clean, yes. And he was personally devoted to Stalin. But his devotion was not very strong. However in this period <nowiki> </nowiki>he advocated Stalin very actively, supported him in everything, though not entirely sure in everything. It also affected their relationship. This is a very complex issue. This must be taken into account to understand why Stalin treated him critically and not invited him at all our conversations. At least at private ones. But he came by himself. Stalin frowned. Under Khrushchev, Voroshilov behaved badly".
