The Kiev class (Russian: Киев) (officially designated as Project 48) was designed in 1939 for the Soviet Navy as a smaller class of destroyer leaders after the cancellation of the Tashkent-class ships that had been intended to be built in the Soviet Union.
Originally, the Soviet Navy wanted a supercarrier similar to the American Kitty Hawk class, but the smaller Kiev-class design was chosen because it was considered more cost-effective. Unlike most NATO aircraft carriers, such as U.S. or most British ones, the Kiev class is a combination of both a cruiser and an aircraft carrier.
