Was it built in Germany before WWI?

This is the Novik, pretty close but no cigar.

Unless it was refitted, aft stack removed or shot off, which was not replaced. A thought[&:]

I think this is a derivative of the Novik design. Specifically, the Orfei class.

Almost immediately after the Pospeshnyy Class order, 22 destroyers of another modified Novik design were ordered for the Baltic Sea Fleet. Some sources call all 22 the Gavriil Class but others divide the 22 into three classes, Gavriil (Russo-Baltic Yard, Reval), Leitenant Ilin (Putilov Yard, St Petersburg) and Orfei (Metal Works, St. Petersburg). As with the preceding, actually concurrent Pospeshnyy Class, the new ships were not exact copies of the Novik. They were slightly shorter, narrower and lighter (321 feet 6 inches, 30 feet 6 inches, 1,260 tons normal) than the Novik (336 feet 3 inches, 31 feet 3 inches, 1,280 tons normal). With two shafts rather than three and rated at 30,000 shp, rather than the 40,000 shp of the Novik, the new designs were only capable of 32 knots, rather than the 36 knots of Novik. All of the class required German assistance. The ships being built at the Metal Works Yard received turbine plans, boiler layouts and auxiliary engines from Vulcan at Stettin. Obviously, the advent of the war instantly ended cooperation and delayed completion of the ships to a certain degree.

Ok, I counted only 4 guns on picture so it wouldn't be estonian Lennuk (ex Avtroil, Novik-IV class).

According to a hint that it's not Soviet, and it probably served in other navy... the last posiibility is that it is estonian Vambola (ex Kapitan I Ranga Miklukha-Maklai, Novik-II class)
