Capital Marine Modellers' Guild: The First Shot of the Revolution

The First Shot of the Revolution - the Cruiser AURORA

Here are a selection of photographs of the museum ship Cruiser AURORA in Petrograd, and some models of the ship as well as art.

The ship fired the blank shot which signalled the start of the final phase of the armed uprising in November 1917. Interesting fact: during the Great Patriotic War the ship was sunk to prevent it from being damaged by nazi scum invaders. After the war it was refloated and restored.

The ship is beautifully maintained and well worth a visit.
