Maxim Gorky was a Project 26bis Kirov-class cruiser of the Soviet Navy that served during World War II and into the Cold War. She had her bow blown off by a mine in the Gulf of Riga during the opening stages of Operation Barbarossa, but made it to Kronstadt for repairs. After being repaired, she was blockaded by Axis minefields in Leningrad and Kronstadt for most of the war, but participated in the Siege of Leningrad by providing gunfire support for the defenders. She bombarded Finnish positions during the Vyborg–Petrozavodsk Offensive in mid-1944, but played no further part in the war. She began a major modernization in 1953, but the Navy reconsidered the cost-effectiveness of the refit and canceled it in 1955. She was sold for scrap in 1959.
