The Krasnyi Krym was a light cruiser of the Soviet Navy. She was laid down in 1913 as the Svetlana for the Imperial Russian Navy, the lead ship of the Svetlana class. She was built by the Russo-Baltic Yard in Tallinn, Estonia and launched in 1915. 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 completed by the Soviets in 1926. 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. She was awarded the Guards title on 18 June 1942. She was reclassified as a training ship in November 1954 before being scrapped in July 1959.
