Project 22220 icebreaker
The first ship, ("Арктика" – Arctic), was laid down in November 2013 and is expected to enter service in 2019. Launched on 16 June 2016, the ship will be the world's largest and the most powerful icebreaker surpassing the "50 Let Pobedy".
The second ship of this class, "Sibir" – ("Сибирь" – Siberia), was laid down on 26 May 2015 at Baltic Shipyard. On 1 July 2016, the hull of "Sibir", one third of the ship and weighing 3,500 t, was shifted to the place of the launched "Arktika" icebreaker, where construction will be completed. The shift made place for the start of the construction of the hull of the icebreaker "Ural" – ("Урал" – Ural). Construction of the Ural started on 25 July 2016.
Jääkarhu
Being one of the last large steam-powered icebreakers in active service, "Sibiryakov" was used in a 1960s Soviet documentary film to represent the steam-powered icebreaker, "Yermak", which had been broken up in 1964. She was also used in the 1969 Soviet/Italian film "The Red Tent" to represent another Soviet icebreaker, "Krasin", which had participated in the rescue mission of Umberto Nobile and other survivors of the crash of airship "Italia" in 1928. While the original 1917-built icebreaker was still in service at that time, her extensive rebuilding in 1953–1960 had changed the look of the vessel completely and thus a more traditional-looking icebreaker was needed for the role.
