The Vladivostok-class heavy cruisers were a class of three heavy cruisers from the late 1930s onwards. They served in the Soviet Navy's Pacific Fleet. Similar to the Kormoran-class of the Kriegsmarine, the Vladivostok-class was built with commerce raiding in mind.
The Vladivostok was built Leningrad while Anyan and Okhotsk were constructed at Polyarny and Severodvinsk respectively.
- The Vladivostok-class is a slightly modified version of the Project 22 cruisers that were never built in OTL.
