The KV from the Kirov factory won the 1939 heavy-type tank competition. The KV-1 was named KV-1 model 1941 "small turret" in February 1942 at the start of production, armed with L-11's 76.2mm gun. The upgraded version was armed with 76.2mm F-32 cannons.

To solve the problem of the fear of inadequacy of armor protection on the already heavily armored KV-1 Model 1941, It was decided to bring the armor protection of the turret up to a thickness to 75mm. Since the capability of producing such a thick armor plate was lacking at the time, so an interim solution was to use bolt on armor, 25 mm of thickness, bolt directly to the outside of the turret and some other parts of the hull. This type was usually referred to as KV-1s Ehkranami.
