[[folder:Russian Battleships - Battlecruisers]]
Russian battlecruisers, much like their German and British counterparts, consist of WWI-era proposals, fast and heavily armed, but lightly armored and lacking in AA.
* NamedAfterSomebodyFamous: All of them are named after famous Russian admirals of the XIX century.

!Admiral Senyavin
Tier VII Russian Battleship of the battlecruiser line. In 1921-1922 there was a proposal to finish ''Kinburn'', an ''Ismail''-class battlecruiser, in an upgraded configuration, with better armor and replacement of triple 356mm turrets with new twin 406mm guns. However, poor state of Soviet industry at the time led to the ships being scrapped instead.
* AnachronicOrder: This proposal is actually newer than higher-tier ships. This is a result of being a modernisation of an even older ship, and not a new development.
* NamedAfterSomebodyFamous: Dmitry Senyavin, famous for his victories in the Russo-Turkish war of 1806-1812.
!Admiral Istomin
Tier VIII Russian Battleship of the battlecruiser line. In 1914, Putilov Plant developed a series of battlecruiser projects, loosely based on German warships of the time, such as ''Bayern''-class. Project №4 had three triple 406mm turrets, with overall layout similar to ''Ismail''-class, in so-called "Russian scheme".
* NamedAfterSomebodyFamous: Vladimir Istomin, a Battle of Sinop and Siege of Sevastopol participant.
!Admiral Kornilov
Tier IX Russian Battleship of the battlecruiser line. Another product of the 1914 R&D, Project №9 carried three quadriple 406mm turrets, also arranged into Russian scheme.
* NamedAfterSomebodyFamous: Vladimir Kornilov, another Battle of Sinop and Siege of Sevastopol participant.
!Admiral Lazarev
Tier X Russian Battleship of the battlecruiser line. The end result of Putilov Plant R&D, "Battleship of 1915" had the same armament as earlier Project №9, but arranged into more efficient linear-elevated scheme. Eight ships were meant to be built, but none were even laid down.
* NamedAfterSomebodyFamous: Mikhail Lazarev, discoverer of Antarctica, participant of Battle of Navarino, and TheMentor for the aforementioned Kornilov and Istomin.

Tier IX Russian Battleship. Sovetsky Soyuz was the name of the lead ship of the project 23 battleship series. Before the [=WWII=] Stalin wanted to build ''15'' of them, before settling on "only" four. None on them were ever finished, but some of their armament, including a sole 406mm main caliber gun, was used in the Siege of Leningrad.

* NoPronunciationGuide: Good luck trying to pronounce ''that'' name without tongue-tying yourself if you are not used to Russian. It is [[DownplayedTrope downplayed]] due to two reasons:
** English-speakers can just call it October Revolution as it is the literal, correct translation.
** Wargaming eventually released a guide on their website detailing how the Russian name is pronounced.

[[folder:Russian Submarines]]
Soviet submarines are designed to hunt other submarines. They are armed with fast torpedoes, that, however, suffer from long reload time and low damage. Their Submarine Surveillance reloads twice as fast as other nations', but lasts for a shorter time. These boats also have player-controlled guns, that fire SAP shells, and can finish off low-HP enemies.
* HunterOfHisOwnKind: Their torpedoes are perfect for striking low-durability targets like other submarines, and their short-cooldown Submarine Surveillance helps in locating these targets. However, torpedoes' low damage means that they are far less effective against armored targets, like battleships.

!S-1
Tier VI Russian Submarine. ''S''-class, officially designated "Srednyaya"[[note]]Medium[-sized][[/note]], and nicknamed "Stalinets"[[note]]follower of Stalin[[/note]], was the most successful class of Soviet submarines in WWII. With 41 units built, ''S''-class submarines served in all four fleets. Sixteen boats of this type were lost in the war; S-1 herself was destroyed by her crew to avoid capture.
!L-20
Tier VIII Russian Submarine. ''L''-class, designated "Leninets"[[note]]follower of Lenin[[/note]], was the second-ever series of Soviet submarines. The class was designed primarily as minelayers, but were used as attack submarines as well. The class was built in four batches (series II, XI, XIII, XIII-bis), with L-20 being the lead boat of the last series, fastest and most capable of them. 24 boats were built, with 25th being left unfinished. Six boats of this class were lost in WWII.
* AnachronicOrder: Twofold. The first boat of the class, L-1, was commissioned before S-1 was even laid down, while L-20 herself was launched over a year after K-1.
!K-1
Tier X Russian Submarine. ''K''-class, officially designated "Kreyserskaya"[[note]]Cruiser, as an adjective[[/note]], were the most powerful submarines in the Soviet Navy duing WWII. Envisioned as "cruiser submarines", they were armed with two 100mm guns, and were known to engage submarine chasers in surface combat. 11 boats of the class were completed, and five of them were lost in the war.

* RareVehicles: Out of all the Russian battleships in the game so far, only Gangut/Oktyabryskaya Revolyutsiya[[note]]It's the same ship with different names and refits[[/note]] was actually commissioned into the navy- Imperial Russia/Soviet Union only managed to commission two classes of dreadnoughts in the first half of the 20th century. Many of the other designs were started but never completed [[note]] Izmail/Borodino, Sovetsky Soyuz [[/note]], and the rest were preliminary drawings or design studies never authorized [[note]] everything else bar the aforementioned ships [[/note]].

* AndNowForSomethingCompletelyDifferent: Shes the only true heavy cruiser in the Russian cruiser tree. This means that despite the extensive options for premium Russian cruisers available, You will have to keep a dedicated ''Moskva'' captain since ''Moskva'' doesn't benefit from several light cruiser skills like inertia fuse high explosives.
