Rossiya (Russian: Россия; literally: Russia) is a Russian Arktika-class nuclear-powered icebreaker. In 1990, it became the first ship to carry commercial passenger traffic to the geographic North Pole.^[4] Its sister ship Arktika was the first surface ship to reach the pole.

During the winter of 2012–2013, Rossiya was stationed in the Gulf of Finland.^[5]

According to Bellona, Rossiya was taken out of service in 2013 and is currently in "cold lay-up" awaiting disposal.^[6]
