I have had the best success in my Russian Destroyer's by A) Not rushing into cap, letting the Hatsu's, Fubuki's cap. Japanese DD's will detect you first and at short range their guns are not worth the trade B) Hanging with the fleet, no YOLO rush. Therefore AFT is of great benefit. C) Keep minimum 8km away from USN destroyers D) Russian DD's may not be the best at dealing the most damage, but I enjoy Russian DD's most over any other class/nation for one reason. With their fast speed, low shell arc, fast rate of fire, it gives you the best psychological deterrent to any ship approaching your team's fleet. Almost everyone turns around. Pick the right targets to deter and you can kill an enemy push. Russian DD's don't win games by dealing the most damage, they win games by controlling the entire dynamic of a flank you are in. I have had 25 random games with the Kiev at 75% Win Ratio and 77% win ratio in 60 Ranked battles (season 2) and 16 battles in Season 3 with 94% win ratio with Kiev using these tactics. Russian DD's, especially the Kiev, are seriously game changing if you use it correctly.
