ww2dbaseLight cruiser Kalinin was laid down in 1938 in the Far East and was commissioned at Vladivostok, Russia on the final day of 1942. On 24 Apr 1943, she was ordered to prepare for a journey via the Northern Sea Route to join the Soviet Northern Fleet; she was fitted with special propellers (with easily replaceable blades), fitted with special ice anchors, and had her hull strengthened to deal with the potential ice that she would face along the way. However, on 1 Jun 1943, the transfer order was canceled; she maintained her alterations until 1944. During the Russian invasion of Japanese-held Manchuria in northeast China, Kalinin remained inactive. Between the end of WW2 and 1956, she performed training missions. She was put on reserve on 1 May 1956. On 1 Dec 1957, she was reactivated to prepare for conversion into floating barracks PKZ-21, which started on 6 Feb 1960. She was sold for scrap in 1963.
