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.
Ordered from Böcker and Lange's shipyard in Reval, Estonia, in the 1912 naval program, the Izyaslav-class destroyers were improved versions of the preceding Leytenant Ilyin class with a heavier armament.
