Abstract
The beginning of the 1950s was a period of active exploration of the Northern Sea Route, as well a time of aggravation of relations between world powers, which led to the development and strengthening of new economic and political positions of the Soviet Union. The authors of the article describe the prerequisites and the development of icebreaking shipbuilding in the USSR in the face of significant demand for new ships with a principled position to leave the accumulated experience inside the country. Particular attention is paid to an in-depth analysis of the established situation and the practice of developing a new icebreaking vessel at that time by outstanding Leningrad scientists from the Chief Directorate of the Northern Sea Route under the Council of Ministers of the USSR: A.I. Brandaus, V.F. Burkhanov, V.I. Neganov, N.A. Eremeev, A.S. Kolesnichenko, M.Y. Rogov and others. The paper also reflects the great interest of the central organizations of shipbuilding and management of the sea and river fleet in the rapid advancement of this project in the USSR.
