Admiral Lazarev (Russian: Адмирал Лазарев) was the second Kirov-class battlecruiser. Until 1992 she was named Frunze (Russian: Фрунзе) after a Project 68 cruiser (named after Bolshevik leader Mikhail Frunze); at that time she was renamed after Russian rear admiral Mikhail Petrovich Lazarev. Scrapping of the ship began in April 2021.[1]
