 After the end of the Russian Civil War the victorious Bolsheviks considered finishing Izmail , and possibly Borodino , to their original design . It would have taken at least two years to build all of Izmail 's turrets , even if enough guns had been available . Ten had been delivered by Vickers before the Revolution and one gun had been completed domestically in 1912 , but the prospects that more guns could be purchased from Vickers or that the Soviets could make more were not promising , given the state of their heavy industry in the wake of the Civil War . Another problem was the complicated electrical system ; it could not be completed under current conditions , and at least twenty months would be required to replace it with a simpler system .
