Hibiki doesn't count in this regard, since she was handed over as a reparation and originally Japanese, not Russian-built.

And yes, I was thinking that old lady Avrora should be the first true Russian ship added, since she is from St.Petersburg and was meant to work in the Pacifics - she fits the bill perfectly! And she surived the both Damned Wars, damn it! She is still alive and kicking, just in case you don't know..She served as a coastal AA artillery platform during the Great Patriotic War and she wasn't even struck from active servise lists until the end of the war, tvoyu mat'! If that doesn't account for high luck - and at least above average AA/AA cut-in special in her upgraded version - I don't know. Though other stats would be mediocre at best without feeding her a lot of other ships.

Oh, and she'd be so awesome to model; her basic form should look like some Silver Age lady (think upper-class evening gawn - not too explicit, but not puritan, either, perhaps with a slight classical greek tinge, since she was Pallada-class cruiser) or in an imperial sailor uniform. And her upped version should logically be either soviet navy uniform, perhaps telnyashka to accentuate her breasts. And here's the idea for a seasonal art, if we're at it; make that somewhere around new year, her wearing trousers (klyosh) and bushlat with two MG-belts crossed over her torso, and get her some red cloth over her head or something, as in the revolution she started back in the '17th.
