Terez ( Russian Терец ) was the name of a sea-going gunboat of the Imperial Russian Navy . Commissioned in 1888, it was only deleted from the fleet list and canceled in 1931. The name of the boat corresponds to the Russian name for a resident of the area on the Terek River and the Terek Cossacks .

The boat was procured as part of the fleet armament program for the years 1882-1902. It was intended for service in the Russian Black Sea Fleet .

The Terez was laid on May 18, 1886 at the shipyard of the Russian Society for Steam Shipping and Trade ( Русское общество пароходства и торговли ) in Odessa . Like all boats intended for service in the Black Sea Fleet, it was built in a Russian shipyard, while the boats intended for service in the Baltic Sea and the Far East were built in foreign shipyards. The launch took place on August 29, 1887. The boat was put into service on 1888 after being fitted out. After commissioning, the Terez was assigned to the Russian Mediterranean Squadron and provided station service in various Mediterranean ports .

In 1900 the boat underwent a major overhaul and was used as a training boat from the following year. In 1905 the boat was involved in the suppression of the uprising on the cruiser Ochakov (Очаков). Since the boat mainly housed Kwartirmeister (Квартирмейстер, a service position of the Imperial Russian Fleet), the boat was on the side of the troops loyal to the government. The Terez was the first ship to open fire on the harbor cutter, with which some of the mutineers transferred to the cruiser. After the sinking of the cutter, the Terez moved the fire to the mine- layer Swirepy (Свирепый), which was also involved in the uprising, and severely damaged him. Then the crew of the boat and other ships loyal to the government fought the cruiser Ochakov , which was held down. After the Terez threatened to open fire on the mine transport ship Bug (Буг), this was sunk by the crew themselves.

Until 1916 the Terez belonged to the department for the defense of the north-western coast of the Black Sea and was used together with other boats for fire support of the Russian land forces . From August 1916 the Terez belonged to the Russian Danube Flotilla . Here, too, the main task was to provide fire support for the Russian troops on land. During this mission, as with the Donets, the number of shots provided for the guns' barrel was exceeded, which led to high wear on the barrel and, as a result, to reduced accuracy.

Gunboat Snamja Sozijalisma , 1923

On January 18, 1918, the boat passed over to the sides of the Soviet Russian troops . During the occupation of the Black Sea ports by German troops , it was taken over by them in Sevastopol on May 1, 1918 . After the Germans withdrew, it then fell into the hands of the British-French intervention forces on December 14, 1918. They left the boat to the Southern Russian fleet in April 1919 . Also by these the boat was used primarily for fire support for troops on land.

On March 8, 1920, the Terez was badly damaged while fighting an armored train of the Red Workers and Peasants Army . After the ship was taken over by the Red Workers 'and Peasants' Army on March 14, 1920 , it underwent major repairs in 1921. On December 31, the Terez was renamed Snamja Sozijalisma (Знамя Социализма, German: Banner of Socialism). From 26 October 1926, the boat was in the port of Sevastopol launched . In 1931, the arming of the boat was disarmed and the Znamya Sozijalisma the EPRON passed as auxiliary ship. The ship was later canceled , but the exact date can no longer be determined.
