This category brings together articles about the princely Vorotynsky family and the places in Nizhny Novgorod Oblast associated with it. The Vorotynskys were hereditary Rurikids, several generations of whom left their mark on the region's history: Mikhail Vorotynsky went down in history as an outstanding 16th-century military commander, and his son Ivan Mikhailovich Vorotynsky and grandson Ivan Alekseyevich Vorotynsky went on to serve at the tsar's court. Vorotynsky District, where the village of Semyany is located, is also named after the family.
