On this forum:
I've found a few drawings representing some unknown (possibly hypothetical??? ) warships: a battleship with many secondary and AA gun turrets, a Missile-Gun cruiser with heavy gun and missile armament and a Gun destroyer with heavy gun armament:

The Cruiser:

The Destroyer:

I wonder if these were real design proposals or some artists technical ideas from the 1950's?
 
The cruiser Jupiter.
This is from a book for children on the design of ship models. The ship is invented.

There is still such a book indicated: "model of a battleship," from the library of the young designer.

I suspected as such, still that cruiser drawing is very detailed! The short Range SAM's seems to be one shot though.
 
Here is a drawing of another non-real Soviet 'project' (actually a fictitious plan for modellers): the "Hrabyi" destroyer.

These are very interesting and certainly have follow the Soviet styles of the period - the cruiser has elements of the Project 82 Stalingrad class and the destroyer 'Hrabyi' looks a bit like the Project 41 Neustrashimy. The 'Jupiter' looks like it has been strongly influenced by the British Dido class though.
