Simple explanation:
the ship was mined and sunk off Varna 08.02.20. Raised only in 1938 she was still in repair at Odessa, when she was scuttled as a blockship in 1941.

I think it's interesting that she kept her Tsarist name right until 1947! All other ships from that era were renamed shortly after the revolution of 1917.
