'''NS ''50 Let Pobedy''''' ({{lang-ru|50 лет Победы}}),; translated as ''"50 Years of Victory''", orreferring ''Fiftiethto the Anniversaryanniversary of Victory'' (referring to victory inof the [[EasternSoviet FrontUnion in (World War II)|Second World War]]), is a Russian {{sclass-Sclass|Arktika|icebreaker|0}} [[nuclear-powered icebreaker]]. She was the world's largest nuclear-powered icebreaker until surpassed by the [[LK-60Ya-class icebreaker|LK-60Ya-class]] {{ship||Arktika|2016 icebreaker|2}} (launched 2016).

Construction on project no. 10521 started on 4 October 4, 1989, at the [[Baltic Works]] in [[Leningrad]] (now [[Saint Petersburg]]), USSR. Originally the ship was named NS ''Ural''. Work was halted in 1994 for lack of funds, so that the actual fiftieth anniversary of [[Victory Day (Eastern9 EuropeMay)|Victory Day]], in 1995, after which she was named, found the ship in an abandoned state. Construction was restarted in 2003.

She was finally completed in the beginning of 2007, after the 60th Anniversary. The icebreaker sailed into the [[Gulf of Finland]] for two weeks of [[sea trial]]s on 1 February 1, 2007. Upon completing sea trials, the icebreaker returned to St. Petersburg Baltic shipyard and started preparations for her [[maiden voyage]] to [[Murmansk]]. The new ship showed superior characteristics for an icebreaker, such as exceptional maneuverability{{dubious|date=June 2020}} and a top speed of {{convert|21.4|kn}}.

She arrived at her homeport [[Murmansk]] on April 11, April 2007.

The icebreaker is an upgrade of the ''Arktika'' class. The {{convert|159.60|m|ft|0|abbr=on}} long and {{convert|30.0|m|ft|0|abbr=on}} wide vessel, with a [[displacement (ship)|displacement]] of 25,840 metric tons, is designed to break through ice up to {{convert|2.5|m|ft}} thick. She has a crew of 140.<ref name=reg>{{cite web|url=http://www.rs-head.spb.ru/en/regbook/file_shipa/jdbc/fleet/reg_book/controller_reg_book?index=895826&type=book1&language=eng|title=Russian Registry of Ships|accessdateaccess-date=22 September 2010 | archiveurlarchive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20100905170059/http://www.rs-head.spb.ru/en/regbook/file_shipa/jdbc/fleet/reg_book/controller_reg_book?index=895826&type=book1&language=eng| archivedatearchive-date=5 September 2010 <!--DASHBot-->| deadurlurl-status= yesdead}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://sr.se/cgi-bin/euroarctic/amnessida.asp?programID=2460&Nyheter=0&grupp=2604&artikel=1219680 |title=A ship called ’Fifty'Fifty years after the victory’victory' |author=Anastasia Yakonuk |publisher=Sveriges Radio |date=26 February 26, 2007 |accessdateaccess-date=8 March 2007-03-08 |deadurlurl-status=yesdead |archiveurlarchive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070930201658/http://sr.se/cgi-bin/euroarctic/amnessida.asp?programID=2460&Nyheter=0&grupp=2604&artikel=1219680 |archivedatearchive-date=September 30, 2007 |df= }}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://en.rian.ru/russia/20070131/59989100.html|title=Russia tests nuclear icebreaker on open sea|publisher=[[RIA Novosti]]|date=31 JanuarySeptember 2007|accessdate=2007-02-02| archiveurl= https://web.archive.org/web/20070218000947/http://en.rian.ru/russia/20070131/59989100.html| archivedate= 18 February 2007 <!--DASHBot-->| deadurl= no}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://aeroflot.ru/eng/service.asp?ob_no=4912&d_no=4914 |title=Titans of the Upper Latitudes |publisher=Aeroflot in-flight magazine |date=2006 |accessdate=2015-12access-date=17 December 2015 |deadurlurl-status=yesdead |archiveurlarchive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20060621134229/http://aeroflot.ru/eng/service.asp?ob_no=4912&d_no=4914 |archivedatearchive-date=June 21, June 2006 }}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=httphttps://www.bellona.org/news/Russia_to_get_new_nucleararctic/russian-nuclear-icebreakers-fleet/2006-03-russia-to-get-new-powered_icebreaker_this_yearnuclear-powered-icebreaker-this-year|title=Russia to get new nuclear-powered icebreaker this year|publisher=Bellona.org|date=1 March 2006|accessdate=2007access-02-02}} {{Dead link|date=October2 2010|bot=H3llBotFebruary 2007}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.quarkexpeditions.com/our-fleet/50-years |title=Quark Expeditions fleet information |publisher=Quark Expeditions |date=2008-03-17 |accessdate=March 2008 |access-06-date=25 June 2008 |archiveurlarchive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080618012352/http://www.quarkexpeditions.com/our-fleet/50-years |archivedatearchive-date=18 June 2008 |deadurlurl-status=yesdead }}</ref>

''Fiftieth50 AnniversaryLet of VictoryPobedy'' is also an experimental project; for the first time in the history of Russian icebreakers the design incorporated a [[spoon-shaped bow]]. As predicted by the ship's designers, such a shape increases the efficiency of the ship's efforts in breaking the ice. The icebreaker is equipped with an all-new digital automated control system. The biological shielding complex was heavily modernized and re-certified by the State Commission. A new ecological compartment was created.

Since 1989 the nuclear-powered icebreakers have also been used for tourist purposes carrying passengers to the North Pole. Each participant pays up to US $2545,000 for a cruise lasting threetwo weeks.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.quarkexpeditions.com/en/departure/vic20180613|title=ARC-NTH-14D2018: 2018-06-13|website=www.quarkexpeditions.com|language=en|access-date=12 April 2018}}</ref> The ''Fiftieth Anniversary of Victory'' contains an accommodation deck customised for tourists.

OnAs Julyof 30,February 2013, Quark Expeditions as well as international polar cruise company Poseidon Expeditions were both offering North Pole cruises on 50 Let Pobedy.<ref>{{cite web |title=North Pole |url=http://www.quarkexpeditions.com/arctic-expeditions/north-pole-cruise-ultimate-arctic-adventure/overview |access-date=5 September 2015 |work=Quark Expeditions}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=http://poseidonexpeditions.com/ships/50-years-of-victory/ |title=I/b ''50 Years of Victory |work=Poseidon Expeditions |access-date=5 September 2015}}</ref> On 30 July 2013 ''50 Let Pobedy'' reached the North Pole for the 100th time in the history of icebreaker navigation during one of [[Poseidon Expeditions]] cruises.<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://poseidonexpeditions.com/blog/?p=403 |title=100th achievement of the North Pole |work=Poseidon Expeditions |date=31 July 31, 2013}}</ref>

In October 2013, the vessel carried the [[Olympic Flame]] to the North Pole, in the runup to the [[2014 Winter Olympics]]<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.maritimedanmark.dk/?Id=20665 |title=Den olympiske ild kom forbi Nordpolen |work=Maritime Denmark |date=27 October 2013 |language=Danishda}}</ref>

In August 2017, the vessel set a new record for transit time to the North Pole, making the journey from Murmansk to the Pole in 79 hours, arriving at 02:33 AM on August 17, August 2017.
