Text in original Preserved Tanks In Russia publication:

In November 1944 the IS design team, led by N. L. Dukhov, was ordered to work on a more effective armour layout for the IS-2. The resulting design was developed concurrently with the IS-2M. It had a hull with a sharply sloped nose - earning it the nickname of “Schuka” (‘Pike’) and a very distinctive ‘frying pan’ turret. It entered production as the IS-3 and its clean shape was the forerunner of most post-war Soviet designs.
