h4. Appearance
Originally revealed in the [i]Northern Overture[/i] event on January 2020, she was made playable in the [i]Khorovod of Dawn's Rime[/i] event in February 2021. By that point, her character design (post #3810553) underwent a slight revision and update (post #4384559).

Her rig is animalistic in style, like Ironblood, but unpainted and crusted in [[ice]]. Her historical 190 mm triple gun mounts are placed on either side, and noticeable are the [[chain|chains]] wrapped around the rig.

h4. History
In real life, [i]Kirov[/i] was designed with Italian assistance, based off the [[Duca degli Abruzzi (Azur Lane)|Condottieri]]-class light cruisers but enlarged to take in existing 190 mm guns in the Soviet inventory and to provide better protection from the harsher weather conditions.
She was commissioned in 1938 and sold for scrap in 1974.
