Moskva was commissioned in 1938 and twice made port visits in Turkey before Operation Barbarossa began on 22 June 1941. Moskva and its sister ship Kharkov bombarded the Romania port of Constanţa with a total of 350 rounds on 26 June, but Moskva either struck a mine or was torpedoed in a case of mistaken identity by the Soviet submarine Shch-206 which also attacked, but missed, Kharkov which had been damaged by near-misses from 28 cm (11 in) shells from the German coast defense battery Tirpitz and bombs from Romanian aircraft.
