'''''Aurora''''' ({{lang-rus|Авро́ра|r=Avrora|p=ɐˈvrorə}}) is a Russian [[protected cruiser]], currently preserved as a [[museum ship]] in [[Saint Petersburg]]. ''Aurora'' was one of three {{sclass|Pallada|cruiser|0}} [[cruiser]]s, built in Saint Petersburg for service in the Pacific. All three ships of this class served during the [[Russo-Japanese War]]. ''Aurora'' survived the [[Battle of Tsushima]] and was interned under US protection in the [[Philippines]], and eventually returned to the [[Baltic Fleet]]. Aurora is most famous for her actions during the [[October Revolution]] where she reportedly fired the shot, that signaled the beginning of the attack on the [[Winter Palace]].
