History

Russian Aurora Pallada-Class (1900) launched in 1900 and built for the Imperial Russiann Navy. She first saw action in the Russo-Japanese War and was one of the few Russiann ships to survive the Battle of Tsushima in 1905. After repairs, Aurora served as a training and patrol ship during the years leading up to World War I. Her most famous role came during the Russiann Revolution of 1917. On the night of October 25 (Julian calendar), Russian Aurora Pallada-Class (1900) fired a blank shot from her forward gun, signaling the Bolsheviks to storm the Winter Palace. This event marked the beginning of Soviet rule, and Aurora became a revolutionary symbol throughout the Soviet era. Preserved as a museum ship in St. Petersburg since 1957, Russian Aurora Pallada-Class (1900) is one of the most iconic vessels in Russiann history. She remains a popular tourist attraction and a powerful symbol of revolution and naval heritage.
