|blurb=The first '''[[List of battlecruisers of Russia|Russian battlecruisers]]''' were developed after the end of the [[Russo-Japanese War]] of 1905, when the [[Russian Naval General Staff]] decided that it needed a squadron of fast "armored cruisers" that could use their speed to maneuver into position to engage the head of the enemy's battle line, much as [[Tōgō Heihachirō|Admiral Tōgō]] had done during the [[Battle of Tsushima]] against the Russian fleet. However, [[World War&nbsp;I]] and the [[Russian Civil War]] interrupted the construction of the Russian [[Borodino-class battlecruiser|''Borodino''-class ships]] ''(example pictured)'', and all were [[scrap]]ped. Twenty years later, the [[Soviet Navy]] issued a requirement for a ship capable of dealing with enemy cruisers, but the design began to grow as it was modified to allow for combat with German [[Deutschland-class cruiser|pocket battleships]] on even terms, and later modified to gain parity with the {{Sclass|Scharnhorst|battleship|2}}s. Two ships were laid down in 1939, but the development of their new guns lagged significantly behind their construction, and six {{convert|38|cm|0|adj=on|sp=us}} twin-gun turrets were ordered from Germany in 1940.
