Obukhovsky plant was not seriously affected by Revolution. It was in Petrograd/Leningrad, under firm control of Bolsheviks. There were no fighting here.It was simply the fact that heavy naval artillery was NOT the first priority of Bolsheviks in 1920s.

By the time when USSR started to get interested in naval matters again, in 1930s, a lot of equipment was re-purposed or simply worn out.
