'Moscow', [mɐskˈva]), formerly Slava (Слава, 'Glory') was a guided missile cruiser of the Russian Navy. Commissioned in 1983, she was the lead ship of the Project 1164 Atlant class, named after the city of Moscow. With a crew of 510, Moskva was the flagship of the Black Sea Fleet and the most powerful warship in the region. The cruiser was deployed during conflicts in Georgia (2008) and Syria (2015). She led the naval assault during the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine, from February 2022 until her sinking on 14 April 2022. As Slava Slava was laid down in 1976 in Shipyard 445 of the 61 Kommunara Shipbuilding Plant in Mykolaiv, Ukrainian SSR, launched in 1979, and commissioned into the Soviet Navy on 30 January 1983. Between 18 and 22 November 1986, the ship visited the Greek port of Piraeus. Slava played a role in the Malta Summit (2–3 December 1989) between Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev and US President George H. W. Bush. She was used by the Soviet delegation, while the US delegation had their sleeping quarters aboard USS Belknap. The ships were anchored in a roadstead off the coast of Marsaxlokk. Stormy weather and choppy seas resulted in some meetings being cancelled or rescheduled, and gave rise to the moniker the "Seasick Summit" among international media. In the end, the meetings took place aboard Maxim Gorkiy, a Soviet cruise ship anchored in Marsaxlokk Bay. The Malta Summit was a meeting between US President George H. W. Bush and Soviet General Secretary Mikhail Gorbachev, taking place on December 2–3, 1989, just a few weeks after the fall of the Berlin Wall. It was their second meeting following a meeting that included Ronald Reagan, in New York in December 1988. During the summit, Bush and Gorbachev declared an end to the Cold War, although whether it was truly such is a matter of debate. News reports of the time referred to the Malta Summit as one of the most important since World War II. The meetings took place in the Mediterranean, off the island of Malta. The Soviet delegation used the missile cruiser Slava, while the US delegation had their sleeping quarters aboard USS Belknap. The ships were anchored in a roadstead off the coast of Marsaxlokk. Stormy weather and choppy seas resulted in some meetings being cancelled or rescheduled, and gave rise to the moniker the "Seasick Summit" among international media. The meetings ultimately took place aboard Maksim Gorkiy, a Soviet cruise ship chartered to West German tour company Phoenix Reisen, which anchored in the harbor at Marsaxlokk. Slava returned to Mykolaiv in December 1990 for a refit that lasted until late 1998. On 15 May 1995, the ship was formally renamed Moskva. 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine Main article: Snake Island during the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine Moskva, the flagship of the Russian Black Sea Fleet, helped lead the naval assault during the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine from February until April 2022. She was the most powerful surface vessel in the Black Sea region at the time, and Ukraine's only threat against it were a limited number of Neptune missiles. In February 2022, the cruiser left harbor to participate in the attack on Ukraine. The ship was later used against the Ukrainian armed forces during the attack on Snake Island, together with the Russian patrol boat Vasily Bykov. Moskva hailed the island's garrison over the radio and demanded its surrender, and was told "Russian warship, go f**k yourself". After this, all contact was lost with Snake Island, and the thirteen-member Ukrainian garrison was captured. Slava-class cruisers are built for both air and sea superiority, and have no land-attack missiles. Moskva mainly stayed behind other Russian warships, providing air cover for military demonstrations of amphibious landings with Odesa as the apparent target. In the late hours of 13 April 2022 Ukrainian presidential adviser Oleksiy Arestovych reported Moskva was on fire and Odesa governor Maksym Marchenko said their forces hit Moskva with two R-360 Neptune anti-ship missiles. A radar image showed the ship was about 80 nautical miles (150 km) south of Odesa around 7 p.m. local time (GMT+3), shortly after the damage occurred. Two reports indicated the ship sank before 3 a.m., 14 April. The Russian Ministry of Defence said a fire caused a munitions explosion, and the ship sank in stormy seas while being towed to port. Moskva is the largest warship to be sunk in combat since the ARA General Belgrano in the 1982 Falklands War, and the largest Russian warship to be sunk since World War II. According to the Lithuanian defense minister, there were 485 crew members aboard, including 66 officers. He also said that a Turkish ship responded to a distress call and saved 54 crew members at 2 a.m. local time. Russia stated one sailor from the Moskva was killed and 27 were missing, while 396 crew members were rescued. A Russian recruitment office mistakenly sent conscription papers to a missing Moskva sailor in October 2022. Ukraine has officially declared the wreck of the ship to be an underwater cultural heritage site. «Москва́» — колишній радянський і російський ракетний крейсер проєкту 1164 (шифр «Атлант», англ. Slava class за класифікацією НАТО), який перебував на службі у 1982—2022 роках. Був головним кораблем своєї серії, входив до складу Чорноморського флоту РФ і був його флагманом. 2022 року, під час повномасштабного вторгнення РФ до України, судно було знищено Збройними силами України. Став широковідомим після атаки 24 лютого 2022 року на український гарнізон на острові Зміїний, коли на пропозицію українським воякам здатися корабель отримав відповідь «Русский военный корабль, иди на ***». 13 квітня 2022 року ВМС України завдали по крейсеру удару двома крилатими протикорабельними ракетами Р-360 «Нептун» берегового протикорабельного комплексу РК-360МЦ «Нептун». Внаслідок отриманих ушкоджень та складних погодних умов він перекинувся та затонув. Ввечері 14 квітня затоплення «Москви» визнало Міноборони Росії. Це було перше знищення корабля такого розміру в бою з 1982 року, коли британська субмарина HMS Conqueror потопила аргентинський крейсер «Генерал Бельграно» під час Фолклендської війни; а також найбільша втрата російського військового флоту з 1941 року, коли німецьке бомбардування зруйнувало лінкор «Марат». В Україні крейсер отримав статус Об'єкту підводної культурної спадщини України № 2064. Code A0191-А108
