The fifth ship of her class, the ship served mostly during the Cold War, from 1973 to 1992.
She served with the Pacific Fleet for the duration of her career, often operating in the Indian Ocean and the Pacific in order to show the flag. Marshal Voroshilov cruised in the Indian and Pacific Oceans during 1974, 1975, and 1976, spending several months under refit in 1977 before undertaking another Indian Ocean cruise between 1979 and 1980. Again refitted between 1980 and 1986, she operated in the South China Sea in 1989. She was decommissioned in 1992 due to deteriorating conditions which reduced naval funding prevented from being addressed before being scrapped in 1994 after a fire broke out.
