She was named «Liuitenant Ilin»; her namesake was liutenant Dmitri Sergeevich Ilin (1737-1802), hero of Chesma naval battle. She participated in the First World War: in October of 1917 she fought in Moon Sound battle against German naval forces.
On October 25, 1917, her crew supported October Revolution and joined Bolshevik forces. In April 1918 «Liuitenant Ilin» participated in Ice Cruise of the Baltic Fleet: on April 10 she left Helsingfors and sailed to Kronstadt, main base of the Baltic Fleet. From September 9, 1918 to September 17, 1919 she was in long-term storage. During this time «Liuitenant Ilin» was renamed first time: July 3, 1919 she got named «Garibaldi» after Giuseppe Garibaldi, famous Italian revolutionist. On April 21, 1921, she returned to the active service and joined the Naval Forces of the Baltic Sea. Then this destroyer was renamed second time: under Revolutionary Armed Forces of the Republic's order № 293/569 «On renaming naval ships by names of Soviet and foreign communist leaders» December 31, 1922 «Garibaldi» was renamed «Trotsky» after Lev Davydovich Trotsky, soviet government official. Then she underwent major repairs from November 15, 1924 to June 8, 1926. And then come the final rename: February 14, 1928 destroyer «Trotsky» was renamed to «Voykov» ― after soviet diplomat Pyotr Lazarevich Voykov, killed in 1927 by White movement terrorist.
On August 19-21, 1929, «Voikov» visited Memel (Lithuania). September 6, 1929 on way back to Leningrad she collided with destroyer «Volodarsky», greatly damaging her bow; then she conducted repairs in Kronstadt. In 1933-1934 she undervent major repairs in Leningrad. On July 2, 1936, she left Leningrad for Vladivostok and on October 17, 1936 arrived at the Pacific Fleet via the White Sea-Baltic Canal and the Northern Sea Route. «Voikov» participated in the Soviet-Japanese war: on August 14, 1945 she escorted landing ships to Korean port Seisin (Chongjin) and supported the landing by her artillery. On August 21, 1945 «Voykov» participated in to Genzan (Wonsan) landing operation. On same day near Genzan she and sub hunter frigate EK-2 spotted a submarine periscope and commited depth charge bombardement; after that her captain Aviv Nikolaevich Abyzov reported a «probable» destruction of enemy submarine. On September 17, 1945 «Voikov» was awarded the Order of the Red Banner.
After the ending of the war she was removed from the Navy list on September 17, 1949 and given to government sports and military organisation DOSFLOT as training ship. Four years later, in 1953, she was returned to Navy as floating barracks ship PKZ-53 and served as such for three more years.
