Strashny (Russian: Страшный, lit. 'Terrible') was one of 18 Storozhevoy-class destroyers (officially known as Project 7U) built for the Soviet Navy during the late 1930s. Although she began construction as a Project 7 Gnevny-class destroyer, Strashny was completed in 1941 to the modified Project 7U design.

Accepted from the shipyard on the day that the German invasion of the Soviet Union (Operation Barbarossa) began in June 1941, Strashny was rushed into service for operations in the Gulf of Riga. While returning to Tallinn, Estonia, in mid-July after suffering bomb damage, her bow was severely damaged by a mine that took her out of the war for several months. Towed to Soviet naval bases, the destroyer was repaired during the Siege of Leningrad by taking a bow from an unfinished Project 30 destroyer. Returning to service in April 1942, Strashny bombarded Axis positions during the final months of the siege and in the Vyborg–Petrozavodsk Offensive. Postwar, she continued to serve in the Baltic and was briefly converted to an unarmed stationary training ship before being broken up for scrap in 1960.
