Following the collapse of the Russian Empire and the intervention into the Russian Civil War by the Allies, Avtroil, then under Bolshevik control, was captured by British cruisers and destroyers in the Baltic in December 1918. The ship was transferred to Estonia, from whom she was purchased by the Peruvian Navy in 1933. The ship was renamed Almirante Guise and served with the Peruvian navy until she was scrapped in 1954.
