| 説明 | ....seen shortly after1AM 1st June 2011For those visitors to our planet who have not heard of the Aurora:-The Aurora is a Russian protected cruiser built in 1900, currently preserved as a museum ship in St. Petersburg. She battled the Japanese Navy in the Russo-Japanese War and one of the first incidents of the Bolshevik Revolution of 1917 took place on the cruiser Aurora.According to the Soviet account of history, on 25 October 1917, Aurora refused to carry out an order to put to sea, and this contributed to the Revolution. At 9.45 pm on that date, a blank shot from her forecastle gun signalled the start of the assault on the Winter Palace, which was to be the last episode of the Bolshevik Revolution. The cruiser's crew then allegedly took part in that attack.In 1922, Aurora was brought to service again as a training ship. During the Second World War, the guns were taken from the ship and used in the land defence of Leningrad. The ship herself was docked in Oranienbaum port, and was repeatedly shelled and bombed. On 30 September 1941 she was damaged and sunk in the harbour.After extensive repairs in 1945 - 1947, Aurora was permanently anchored on the Neva as a floating museum. |
