Ivan Susanin class, also known by its Soviet designation Project 97P (Russian: 97П), is a series of icebreaking patrol ships built for the Soviet Navy and Soviet Border Troops, and today operated by the Russian Navy and Coast Guard of the Border Service of the FSB.

As of 2024, four Ivan Susanin-class patrol ships remain in service: Ivan Susanin with the Pacific Fleet[2] and Ruslan with the Northern Fleet,[3] both with their armaments removed,[4] and Neva and Volga with the Border Service of the FSB.[5][6]
