Stalingrad-class Battlecruiser
The ''Stalingrad''-class battlecruiser, also known as Project 82 (russian: Тяжёлые крейсера проекта 82), was a Soviet battlecruiser design from 1941. It was a smaller and less-expensive counterpart to the s of 1939. The original role was for a light, fast ship intended to break up attacks by British fast-cruiser forces that might attempt bombardment of Russia's northern ports.

Design work had just started when the German invasion of the Soviet Union opened and the design was put on hold.
