Between 1904 and 1905, cruiser Aurora relocated to the Far East as part of the 2nd  Pacific Squadron and participated in the Battle of Tsushima. After the Russo-Japanese war, Aurora returned to the Baltic and took part in the Battle of the Gulf of Riga during World War I. The cruiser defended Kronstadt during the Great Patriotic War. In 1945, Aurora was converted into the base of the Nakhimov Naval School, and she later became a museum ship.
