Creation History
The project was developed by order of the Ministry of Higher Education of the USSR in the early 1950s , based on the project of carbohydrate obtained by reparation in Germany. The project executor is TsKB-57 ( Leningrad ), chief designer L.V. Voishvillo. The ship was built in 1950 at the Gdansk Shipyard in Poland as a serial coal ore carrier with a displacement of 7800 tons. According to the project, the steam engine worked from coal-fired boilers. At the time of construction, the ships were already obsolete, and there were almost no military vessels on coal, but the ordered series gave work to the shipyards of Poland. It was believed that they needed help orders. Conversion to fuel oil was carried out at a shipyard in Tallinn , with the simultaneous reconstruction of facilities for training purposes. Holds were divided into cubicles for cadets (up to 217 people), rooms for seconded teachers. The training service had a separate bathhouse for cadets, a gym.
