Cruiser «Aurora»
The Russia’s most famous cruiser could have been named Polkan or Psyche, but Nikolay II chose the last name in the list – Avrora (Aurora) in honor of the dawn goddess in the Roman mythology. Over the period of its service, the legendary ship covered over 100 thousand miles, took part in three wars, underwent several refurbishments and repairs.
