After purchasing cruiser Lützow from Germany and renaming her Petropavlovsk, the question of whether to build more advanced ships of the same type arose. Several designs were provided for Project 82. Stalin gave personal instructions to select a design with 305 mm guns, and the final project was approved in 1951. Cruiser Stalingrad was laid down in Mykolaiv in the same year. The ship was planned to be launched in 1953, but the construction of ships under this project was canceled after Stalin's death.
