KV-2 - Soviet heavy assault tank of the initial period of the Great Patriotic War. The abbreviation KV means "Klim Voroshilov" - the official name of serial Soviet heavy tanks produced in 1939-1943, named after the hero of the Civil War in Russia, military and political figure Voroshilov Kliment Efremovich. Originally called "KV with a large tower".
This machine was developed by the design bureau of the Leningrad Kirov Plant (LKZ) in January 1940 in connection with the urgent need of the Workers 'and Peasants' Red Army (RKKA) in a well-protected tank with powerful weapons to fight the fortifications of the Mannerheim Line during the Soviet-Finnish war of 1939— 1940s
