The Giant (Russian: Гигант) was a semi-rigid airship designed by engineers Alexander Kovanko and Athanasius Shabsky. It was the largest dirigible built in Russia. In subsequent years, no airships of this size were created. The largest airship built in Russia, the SSR W-6 (Osoaviakhim), had a volume of only 18 500 m3.
