The Svetlana-class light cruiser was the first and only class of light cruisers built for the Imperial Russian Navy. Eight were laid down as part of the 1912–16 shipbuilding program. They were intended to act as scouts for Gangut and Imperatritsa Maria-class dreadnoughts and to lead destroyer flotillas.
Construction was interrupted by World War I, the Russian Revolution and the Russian Civil War. In the 1920s, Four ships were completed as cruisers while the last four were completed as tankers.
