In 1928 it was renamed “Artem”, which is a common East Slavic given name. It mostly served as a convoy guard in the Baltic Sea in World War I and was involved in several conflicts with White and foreign naval forces supporting the Whites in the Russian Civil War. It underwent several renovations in the 1920s and and 1930s. It saw action in the Russo-Finnish war of 1939-1940 and in World War II. In the early months of Germany’s invasion of the Soviet Union, it participated in the defense of Riga, Tallinn, and the Estonian Moonsund archipelago as well as guarded convoys in the Baltic region. On August 27th, 1941, during the Soviet evacuation of Tallinn, it hit a mine and was sunk.
