Vasily Vasilyevich Kuznetsov (1901–1990) was a Soviet statesman and twice Hero of Socialist Labor.[1] He was born in the selo of Sofilovka, which was then part of the Nizhny Novgorod Governorate.
Government Service
For decades, Kuznetsov held high positions in the Soviet party and state system. Among his Moscow addresses was building 19 on Alexey Tolstoy Street (now Spiridonovka) in the Presnensky District, where other prominent Soviet figures also lived at various times.[2]
