The new icebreakers, referred to as
Project 21900M, represent a further development of the original Project 21900 design. Modifications to the original design include, among smaller general improvements, a slightly different diesel-electric power plant configuration and more efficient pulling-type

While the steel cutting for the second
Project 21900M to be built by Vyborg Shipyard was not set to begin until sometime 2013, the production began ahead of schedule and the keel laying ceremony was held on 12 December 2012. After the launching of the first icebreaker,
