Toyvo Antikaynen (Russian: Тойво Антикайнен) was a merchant ship of Black Sea Shipping Company (Soviet Union), tweendecker type general cargo ship, project B401. This ship is one of the Kommunist-class cargo ships.[2] The ship was named in honor of communist leader in Finland Toyvo Antikaynen, who was frendly to the USSR.

Only two ships of Kommunist-class cargo ships had additional figure in the built number (shipyard number). That were Djuzeppe di Vittorio (number B40/101 - B40/91) and Toyvo Antikaynen (number B40/102 - B40/92). Can be it was due to this two ships were built by another shipyard in Poland, and other Kommunist class cargo ships.[3]
