"Svirepy" made three trips to Gogland between 23 November and 6 December, covering attempts to save the wrecked transport "Iosif Stalin". She was engaged by Finnish coastal artillery twice, but escaped unscathed. Relocated to Leningrad on 12 December, the destroyer began repairs at Shipyard No. 189 on New Year's Day 1942. The ship had fired a total of 1,073 main-gun rounds during 1941. For the rest of the war, "Svirepy" saw little action. Between 1942 and 1943 she remained in Leningrad, participating only in defense against air raids. In these two years her 130 mm guns carried out thirteen firings, all training except for one February 1943 bombardment in support of the Battle of Krasny Bor during which she expended 120 shells. The ship received minor damage from the nearby explosions of three aerial bombs on 4 April 1942. From 14 to 19 January 1944 the destroyer made her last bombardment during the Krasnoye Selo–Ropsha Offensive, firing 415 130 mm shells.
