Varyag — Soviet special premium Tier III cruiser.
One of the most famous cruisers in the Imperial Russian Navy. Built in the U.S. under a one-off project that was based on the same technical design used for the construction of cruiser Bogatyr. The ship had a very high speed for her time and carried numerous rapid-fire main and secondary guns.
