If you mean beam length, then yes, it was a bit shorter than Hipper class, but Gangut was built before WWI when heavy cruisers weren't even a thing (there were armored cruisers instead). And ship designs got more advanced since then. Hipper class were built in 1930s, so they were relatively modern in WW2. Although Gangut was obsolete by the time she was finished lol, commisioned a month after HMS Queen Elizabeth. Luckily for her she never faced naval action.
