Armor Model
Overview
A Soviet commission was sent to Italy in 1932 to find a prototype for a Soviet cruiser. A choice was made in favor of Raimondo Montecuccoli, and the ship's blueprint and propulsion unit were sold to the Soviet Union. A draft design for a cruiser with a displacement of 6,630 tons was approved in 1933. The project's second variant provided eight 152 mm guns. Project 26 cruisers appeared during the development of this project.
