Ship project history: Built in Italy under Soviet order for service in the Far East. Design of Ansaldo. They had Italian numbers PS8 and PS26 under which passed to Vladivostok where 12/12/1934 were been accepted by Soviet Union and received armament. They were equipped by triple-shaft diesel machinery, on trials without armament shown 20.5-21kts, but in service conditions reached no more than 18.5kts. They differed by extremely low metacentric height (13cm in worst loading condition). The project provided replacement of 102mm gun No2 by 1 triple 450mm TT, however in practice it was not realised.
Modernizations: early 1950s, both: - 3 x 1 - 102/60; + 2 x 1 - 100/56 B-34-USM.
Naval service: Both were stricken in 1959, then Kirov was converted to barrack ship PKZ-89. Dzerzhinskiy in 1961 ran ashore during a storm on Island Shikotan (Kuriles).
