> He was the Soviet Union's ceremonial president for 27 years - a peasant-born metalworker who signed decrees and greeted foreign dignitaries while Stalin held the real power. His name outlived him on a conquered German city that still bears it today.

## Bio

Born to a peasant family in 1875, Kalinin worked the metal shops of Saint Petersburg and joined the Bolsheviks early enough to fight in the failed 1905 revolution. After the October Revolution succeeded in 1917, he became mayor of Petrograd, then rose to head the new Soviet state in 1919 - Chairman of the Central Executive Committee, a position he held until 1946. He joined the Politburo in 1926 and stayed there, a fixture in the inner circle, but Stalin's rise left him with titles and no leverage. He retired in 1946 and died the same year. Königsberg, freshly seized from Germany, was renamed Kaliningrad in his honor; the city of Tver carried his name until 1990, a year before the Union itself collapsed.
