Krasin (1916)
The real Krasin
The first icebreaker Krasin (launched as Sviatogor and renamed in 1927 to honor the recently deceased Krasin) was built for the Imperial Russian Navy by Armstrong Whitworth in Newcastle upon Tyne and launched on 3 August 1916. She had a long, distinguished career, and performed rescue duties including Umberto Nobile's failed Italian Polar expedition. During World War II, Krasin participated in many Russian convoys.
Krasin continued in service until recently, and is now a museum ship in Saint Petersburg. (from Wikipedia)
Here you can see the history of nuclear icebreakers.
The red ship is "50 Years of Victory" - largest nuclear icebreaker in the world.
And the beige one on the left is "Lenin" - first nuclear icebreaker in the world.

Nowadays icebreakers are built as multi-purpose ships so that they can be used more efficiently around the year.
