Historical description:

The heavy tank KV-1 (Kliment Voroshilov) was one of the pillars of the Soviet armored forces during the German invasion of the USSR. The presented version – the 1941 model with a smaller turret – is one of the early KV-1 versions, which took part in dramatic battles on the Eastern Front, including the defense of Leningrad and the Battle of Moscow. The armor of this tank was nearly impenetrable by most German anti-tank weapons at the beginning of the war, making it an exceptionally valuable asset for the Soviet armored units.
