If you are referring to the Molotov cocktail, the most common explanation of its origin is that it was named "in honour of" the Russian Foreign Minister of the same name, a gesture of defiance by the Finns who used the home-made petrol bombs with considerable effect in the Finno-Russian War, early in WWII. If I am mistaken on this, I look forward to correction.
