Αυγή (Russian: Авро́ра, tr. Avrora, IPA: [ɐˈvrorə]) is a 1900 Russian protected cruiser, currently preserved as a museum ship in Saint Petersburg. Aurora was one of three Pallada-class cruisers, built in Saint Petersburg for service in the Pacific. All three ships of this class served during the Russo-Japanese War. Aurora survived the Battle of Tsushima and was interned under US protection in the Philippines, and eventually returned to the Baltic Fleet. The second ship, Pallada, was sunk by the Japanese at Port Arthur in 1904. The third ship, Diana, was interned in Saigon after the Battle of the Yellow Sea. One of the first incidents of the October Revolution in Russia took place on the cruiser Aurora, which reportedly fired the first shot, signalling the beginning of the attack on the Winter Palace.

General Characteristics and Historical Role

Teh Russian Cruiser Aurora is a protected cruiser of the Imperial Russian Navy’s Pallada class. She is one of the oldest ships still afloat and the most famous vessel associated with the Russian Revolution. Launched in 1900, she participated in the Russo-Japanese War, suffering damage and casualties during the Battle of Tsushima in 1905. Her lasting historical significance stems from the October Revolution of 1917, when the blank shot from her forward gun signaled the start of the assault on the Winter Palace. Today, she is preserved as a museum ship in St. Petersburg and remains a symbol of the Russian Navy and Soviet history.
