After Nikolay Kuznetsov was removed from the post of the People's Commissar of the Navy in January 1947, the terms of reference for the construction of a Project 82 cruiser were edited numerous times. Two draft designs were presented in August 1947, and later, they were combined. The joint project had 220 mm main battery guns, higher speed, and lower displacement. This project was a tactically advantageous solution: One of the ship's main tasks was to oppose the U.S. Des Moines-class heavy cruisers.
