Looks like one of the very many river barges modified to carry a tank turret or two which were employed in the later stages of WW.II and after.

Hi kenny according to Jurg Meister in "Soviet Warships of the second World War" the "Udarnyi" was sunk by German aircraft in the Black Sea on September 18th 1941 close to the island of Tendra with the loss off 66 crew . Hope this helps .

If you can wait for a couple of days, I have Breyer's "Encyclopedia of Soviet shipbuilding" at the other place, and there are suitable drawings in it which I could scan.
