Bogatyr — Soviet Tier III cruiser.
The best protected cruiser of its time in the Russian Navy. This ship was based on a project that was notable for its overall well-balanced features and good protection of the ship's numerous main guns, some of which were mounted in turrets. During World War I, the ship was re-armed with more advanced artillery.

Performance
Refer to the in-game Port screens for more useful data.
Bogatyr is a decent cruiser for her tier. She has solid armor and maneuverability, with a particular focus on the main battery guns.
Bogatyr can pack more main guns than any other Tier III ship: sixteen (16) in fact, two more than American counterpart St. Louis. She can also shoot further than any other Tier III cruiser. It is important to note, however, that the hang time for the shells is long, and that they fire on a high arc (both good and bad). The turret traverse is painfully slow even for her broadside mounts that don't have far to swivel.
Researching and equipping the 130mm guns is a nominal downgrade. Despite higher fire chance per shell and quicker turret traverse, the individual shells do less damage and have less penetration. The 130mm guns do benefit from the Basic Firing Training commander skill, however, and make a Bogatyr that sets up in this fashion an excellent destroyer hunter-killer. The 130mm guns also come with improvements in dispersion and an increase to shell velocity, which increases the overall accuracy of the guns.
Pros:
- Lots of guns on both sides of the ship, she can train more barrels to broadside than American counterpart St. Louis.
- Good damage output, especially against lightly armoured ships.
- Upgraded guns have good ballistics for Tier III, allowing Bogatyr to hit targets even at maximum range.
Cons:
- Upgraded guns have lower damage per shell and worse rate of fire than stock guns.
- Less health and armor than St. Louis; however, Bogatyr still has better survivability than most other Tier III cruisers.
- Slow for a cruiser.
- Not a single anti-aircraft gun.
