Review of a brief history of the Russian icebreaker fleet. Before talking about modern icebreakers, I decided to figure out where they came from at all, why do we need so many of them and are so powerful, what technologies were used on them earlier and what is the historical continuity of domestic icebreaking. In the end, this is a review of history from the first coal steamers of the Tsarist era, diesel-electric ships of the war and post-war times, and, finally, the transition to nuclear icebreakers and an overview of their advantages.
