The Project 58 missile cruisers (Ракетные крейсера проекта 58), known to NATO as the Kynda class[1] and sometimes referred to as the Grozny class (тип «Грозный»), from the name of the first ship of the series to be constructed, were the first generation of Soviet missile cruisers and represented a considerable advance for the Soviet Navy.

The design proved to be top-heavy and was soon succeeded by the larger Kresta I class, but the Kyndas stayed in service until the fall of the Soviet Union.

The main armament comprised two trainable quadruple SS-N-3 anti shipping missile mountings; one forward one aft.

A total of 16 ships were planned but eventually only four were built, one for each fleet (Baltic, Pacific, Arctic, Black sea).

The class was followed up by the larger Kresta I-class ships, sharing the main design but optimized primarily for ASW warfare.
