From April 10 to April 18, 1918, the ship took part in the “Ice campaign” of the Baltic Fleet from Helsingfors to Kronshtadt (the destroyer did part of the passage in the Lucy transport tug) [1] . Soon after the end of the campaign, he went to base in Petrograd, stood up to the wall of the Obukhov plant . From October 1918 to December 1919 the ship was in reserve. April 21, 1921 "Izyaslav" was introduced into the naval forces of the Baltic Sea (from January 11, 1935 - the Red Banner Baltic Fleet), consisting in the 2nd division of destroyers [1] . In the spring - in the summer of 1921, the destroyer underwent reconstruction. December 31, 1922 "Izyaslav" received a new name - "Karl Marx" [2] .

In 1934 - 1937, Karl Marx underwent a major overhaul and modernization. A closed bridge was built on the ship, new radio equipment was installed, 1 102-mm gun and 1 torpedo tube were removed, tripod masts were replaced with ordinary ones. Instead of the removed anti-aircraft artillery, 4 45-mm 21-K assault rifles and 2 12.7-mm DShK machine guns were installed on the Karl Marx. During modernization, in 1935-1936, tests of the 50-mm dynamo-reactive gun of the Kurchevsky system were tested on the destroyer [3] . After modernization, the total displacement of the ship increased to 1800 tons. The crew of the modernized ship amounted to 168 people [4] .

Currently, the remains of the ship can be seen an hour's drive from Luanda, on the beach of Santiago, where the ship cemetery is located.
