Would secret German cooperation shape the first Soviet battleships?

Could secret German-Soviet cooperation provide the naval technology for these battleships?

Possibly in part, but early Soviet naval cooperation would more likely lean on Italy because Stalin did not yet view Germany as a major naval power.

The Soviet Union and Germany had secret military cooperation, so German help is possible. In this reading, Stalin still regarded Germany primarily as a land power during the early 1930s. Serious Soviet interest in German naval strength belongs to the later period around the Molotov-Ribbentrop negotiations. Italy offered more relevant contemporary capital-ship and machinery experience, making the Regia Marina the more plausible partner for the first generation. A broad political relationship did not automatically provide the specialized credibility needed to influence warship design.
