Meanwhile, the Cruiser "Aurora", which was first set afloat in 1900, took part in the Russo-Japanese War and World War I, was in Bangkok in 1911 as part of the celebrations in honor of the coronation of the King of Siam, defended Leningrad at the city’s door during the Great Patriotic War, was a training base of the Nakhimov Naval Academy, as well as "starred" as a Cruiser "Varyag" in the eponymous movie. Nowadays, sailors of the Naval Fleet are in a continuous active service on the Cruiser "Aurora".
