In the midst of perestroika , in the wake of the renaming of " Stalin - Brezhnev " street names, in Magnitogorsk the idea was put forward to perpetuate in the name of the street Voroshilov not the famous commander Kliment Voroshilov , but the first builder of Magnitogorsk Alexander Voroshilov. But this undertaking was never realized. Nevertheless, the street in Ivdel was named after Alexander Voroshilov.
