With War looming over the horizon in the Pacific, the Russian Navy understood its need for a new protected cruiser that was capable of not only scouting operations, but to serve as supportive gunnery for squadrons and as a deterrent to enemy destroyers. The Naval Ministry determined the specifications for the new cruiser, placing an emphasis on speed, then held a contest to determine who would get the contract to build this ship; German shipbuilders Schichau won the contract. | With War looming over the horizon in the Pacific, the Russian Navy understood its need for a new protected cruiser that was capable of not only scouting operations, but to serve as supportive gunnery for squadrons and as a deterrent to enemy destroyers.

Laid down in 1898 near Danzig, ''Novik'' was completed August 1900, and set to sea trials. It was immediately apparent that she lived up to her promise of being a fast ship: with an averaged clocked speed of 25 knots, making her the fastest cruiser in the world upon her completion. This came a cost; her endurance and fuel consumption above 15 knots was terrible. As well, she was envisioned as an enlarged destroyer, therefore her armour was light, with the exception of the armoured deck over her vital components, at a maximum thickness of 50mm. | Laid down in 1898 near Danzig, ''Novik'' was completed August 1900, and set to sea trials.
