The development of the KV-2 began in 1939. The Commissar of Defence Kliment Voroshilov wanted a tank capable of destroying German fortifications and resisting German heavy tanks, so the KV-2 was developed from the KV-1 in January 1940. The KV-2 is equipped with an M-10 152 mm howitzer gun, integrated into a much higher turret. This heavily armoured tank, less mobile than the KV-1, remained effective as artillery support against heavy German tanks. During the first days of the German invasion, only one of these KV-2s was able to resist several Panzerjäger Is for two days before being destroyed by a German hand grenade thrown through a hatch.

A total of 334 vehicles were produced from 1940 to 1941. The KV-2 tanks were used in action in 1941, most of the vehicles were lost the same year. The tanks captured by the Germans were reused and renamed Panzerkampfwagen KV-II 754.
