In July, Andrey Kostin, president of VTB and chairman of the board of United Shipbuilding Corporation, said that the maintenance work on the "Admiral Nakhimov" cruiser has been completed and it is about to undergo testing.

In February this year, Nikolai Patrushev, presidential assistant and chairman of the Maritime Committee, said that the "Admiral Nakhimov" cruiser is currently receiving the most modern weapons and will soon be reactivated. The ship's reactor has been started.

The ship was built in the late 1980s and served in the Northern Fleet. In the late 1990s, the cruiser was sent for repairs.
