The 76.2 mm Lender gun configuration is a fabrication by Wargaming.

See Krasny Krym for the Soviet-era version.

Svietlana is depicted as she would have appeared had she entered service with the Imperial Russian Navy.

The ship was reclassified as a training ship in November 1954 before being scrapped in July 1959. Krasnyi Krym was awarded the Guards title on 18 June 1942. During World War II she supported Soviet troops during the Siege of Odessa, Siege of Sevastopol, and the Kerch-Feodosiya Operation in the winter of 1941-42. The ship was completed by the Soviets in 1926. Her hull was evacuated to Petrograd when the Germans approached the port in late 1917 and laid up incomplete during the Russian Revolution. She was built by the Russo-Baltic Yard in Tallinn, Estonia and launched in 1915.

She was laid down in 1913 as Svetlana for the Imperial Russian Navy, the lead ship of the Svetlana class. Krasnyi Krym (Russian: Красный Крым - Red Crimea) was a light cruiser of the Soviet Navy. The placement of torpedoes is also something to be aware at, due to the fact that their placement is way at the back of the ship and exposes your entire broadside when attacking. The AA weaponry is also for show and will rarely shoot down any aircraft. The downside for the cruiser though is the poor reload time, unlike the other cruisers for it's tier. In addition, swinging the bow of the ship back and forth can bring almost all the guns to bear on a target you are charging at, as well as making yourself hard to hit. She can fire eight of these guns per broadside, the most of any Tier IV cruiser. Most noticeably she has numerous 130 mm guns as her main battery armament - the caliber later seen on higher tier Soviet destroyers. Svietlana is a unique ship with many interesting qualities that make her stand apart from her tier 4 rivals.
