L-3 was one of six Series II double-hulled Leninets or L-class minelayer submarines built for the Soviet Navy during the early 1930s. L-3 had initially been named Bolshevik and had been renamed Frunzovets while under construction in 1931. Commissioned in 1933 into the Baltic Fleet, she was renamed L-3 when the navy decided to use alphanumeric names for submarines in 1934.
