BOW OF THE SHIP: The distance between the highest and lowest points of the ship, the hood and the keel, is 59 meters. Both anchors, weighing 7 tons each, are in the water and therefore not visible. The anchor chains weigh 30 tons each.
MK-5BIS MAIN-CALIBER TURRETS: the main weapon of the cruiser. Each tower was serviced by 52 to 68 people.The 152.4 mm B-38 guns could hit naval targets at a distance of up to 165 cables, which is 30,558 meters. Shells - weight from 52 to 57 kg. In total, 23 electric motors were used in each of the first, second and third turrets, and 20 in the fourth turret (the turret is structurally located closest to the cellars with ammunition). The operations to reload shells and cartridges from the racks to the conveyor, and from it to the elevator shaft, were carried out manually.
37 MM ANTIAIRCRAFT MOUNTS B-11: Around the superstructure are 16 paired 37-mm B-11 anti-aircraft guns with a rate of fire of up to 170 rounds per minute. To prevent overheating at such a high rate of firing, the installations had their own cooling system. These guns could hit a surface target (for example, floating mines) at a distance of up to 4 km, and an air target up to 3 km. The B-11 system proved to be so successful that 1,872 such installations were produced between 1946 and 1957. Each of them was serviced by seven people.
30 MM ANTIAIRCRAFT MOUNTS AK-230: 30-mm AK-230 anti—aircraft guns with automatic guidance, according to radar data, are one of the first Soviet anti-aircraft guns with a high rate of fire. The ship has 8 such installations with a rate of fire of 1,000 rounds per minute.
100 MM UNIVERSAL CALIBRE TURRETS CM-5-1C: 10-mm dual-purpose universal calibre turrets СМ-5-1С are designed for firing at sea, air and coastal targets. There are six such installations on board - three on each side.
STERN: The third anchor is placed in the rear end of the cruiser - a back anchor that was used, if necessary, during the anchoring berth.
MAIN MAST: The apex of the cruiser's second mast is crowned with an aerial post of the position-radar station "Kiel", aimed to detect air and surface targets; the acquisition range of air and surface targets is up to 180 km. Below is an aerial post of the space station "Kristall-M", which secured stable operational communication with the fleet command post in long voyages of the cruiser - a prototype of modern mobile communication. During the repair in 1979-1986, the cruiser was equipped with the most modern equipment and communication and control equipment. The space communication system Kristall-M, KSBU Centaur, and MVTS-300 Centaur were installed on the cruiser.
MINING ARMAMENT: Minefields are installed on the deck. The ship could take on board up to 68 naval mines of various modifications. Each mine in combat condition weighed up to 750 kg.
