I think I built this over 20 years ago from two different Dragon box sets of 1:700 scale Soviet naval vessels.
The main ship is a Project 1134B Berkut B (Golden Eagle) "large anti-submarine warfare ship" named Nikolayev. It was the lead ship of the Berkut-class large ASW ships. It was commissioned new year's eve 1971, and would become a Ukrainian Navy ship after 1991. It did not continue in service and was soon scrapped in India in 1994.
The Nikolayev is escorted by two Project 1234 Ovod Small Missile Ships.
It is all hand-painted. The base is wood with an artists oil paint water surface.
The photos are scans of old printed photos. Sorry about the image quality.
