Скачать или смотреть Russian Cruiser Aurora - THE Russian Revolutionary

Few ships have had quite as much impact on world events as the Russian cruiser Aurora. At least, as the usual story goes. This humble protected cruiser fired the symbolic shot that kicked off the October Revolution. Resulting in, of course, the decades of Soviet rule.

Of course, how much of that story is true is...debated. Nonetheless, it's a powerful symbol.

Even if only one small part of Aurora's larger story. A story that began with some...interesting mishaps. And continued through both world wars, with the ship eventually becoming a memorial. And then a museum, which she continues to be to this day.
