<HTML>Dear Walter
You have forgotten to mention a cruiser Molotov which was constructed in second half 30th and is commissiones jast before the war.
In USSR appreciated the Italian ship builders. Besides I know, that long time USSR conducted negotiation with Italy on rent of naval base in territory of Italy. The beginning of Civil War in Spain has resulted in the termination of this negotiation.
Recently from Germany to Moscow there came the documents from German archives. After a capture of Sevastopol Italian (peoples of Borgese) have found out in Sevastopol unfinished Soviet mini submarines. She very much has interested the Italians. However Germans have told, that by them this submarines is more necessary. They have shipped her on a railway platform and have sent to Germany for study. The platform left from Sevastopol but... never has arrived to Germany ... You undestand... )
