Soviet destroyer Kalinin
Kalinin (Russian: Азард) was one of five Izyaslav-class destroyers ordered for the Russian Imperial Navy during the 1910s. Not completed during the First World War, she was finally finished by the Soviets in 1927. She played a small role in the Winter War with the Baltic Fleet when Germany invaded the Soviet Union in 1941 (Operation Barbarossa), and was sunk by naval mines on 28 August 1941.
