At present she is moored for eternity by the Petrograd shore in St. Petersburg and is an object of Russia’s cultural heritage.
On March 31, 1897, the Emperor Nicholas II ordered to rename the standing cruiser “Aurora” after the ancient Greek goddess of dawn. She was launched in 1900 and set out of the fleet in 1948. Since 1957 she is museum ship.

The image of the cruiser Aurora was put on the second by significance award of the Soviet Union – the Order of the October Revolution.
