Riga Class / Project 50 LOA 299′ / 91.1 m TDISP 1,500 tons. These served from 1954 until as late as the 1990s (68 built, many exported, none appear to be active or preserved).

Kola Class / Project 42 LOA 315′ / 96 m TDISP 1,900 tons. (8, 1 lost, rest scrapped) These served from 1951 until as late as the 1970s, and were supplanted by the cheaper and smaller Riga class. Although most sources list these as scrapped in the 1970s, one ship, Lev (1953-1970s) remained in a semi-dismantled state for many years, surviving up until it notably sank at the dock in Baltiysk in 2009. The Kola class design inspired the North Korean Najin class frigates.
