7 ноября 1917 года из орудий «Авроры» был сделан холостой выстрел, что стало сигналом к штурму Зимнего дворца, где заседало Временное Правительство. Экипаж крейсера активно участвовал в революционных событиях и последовавших за ними ГВ и отражении иностранной интервенции. После восстановительного ремонта в 1922-1924-х, крейсер "Аврора" в качестве учебного корабля вошёл в состав Морских сил Балтийского флота, на котором до 1940-го проходили корабельную практику курсанты военно-морских училищ Санкт-Петербурга. Заслуга "Авроры" в подготовке грамотных специалистов для флота СССР была огромна. В 10-летнюю годовщину Революции учебный корабль был награждён орденом Красного Знамени. В годы ВОВ личный состав и орудия «Авроры» участвовали в героической обороне Ленинграда. Весь период блокады крейсер провел в порту Ораниенбауме (Ломоносов), подвергаясь систематическим обстрелам и бомбардировкам. Корабль был включен в систему противовоздушной обороны .
Кронштадта. 17 ноября 1948 года легендарный крейсер "Аврора" был пришвартован у Петроградской набережной Ленинграда и до 1956-го использовался как учебная база Ленинградского нахимовского училища. Впоследствии крейсер стал кораблем-музеем, филиалом Центрального военно-морского музея, и в этом качестве сохраняется по настоящее время.

Aurora (Russian: Авро́ра, tr. Avrora, IPA: [ɐˈvrorə]) is a 1900 Russian protected cruiser, currently preserved as a museum ship in Saint Petersburg. Aurora was one of three Pallada-class cruisers, 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.
The second ship, Pallada, was sunk by the Japanese at Port Arthur in 1904. The third ship, Diana, was interned in Saigon after the Battle of the Yellow Sea. One of the first incidents of the October Revolution in Russia took place on the cruiser Aurora, which reportedly fired the first shot, signalling the beginning of the attack on the Winter Palace.
November 7 marks the 97th anniversary of the Russian Revolution. Visitors to St. Petersburg keen to see the famous ship that fired the shot that supposedly began the revolution will be disappointed, however – the cruiser Aurora was towed out of the city in September to be overhauled. RBTH looks back at the history of the ship and its role in the legend of 1917.
曙光號巡洋艦（俄語：Авро́ра，羅馬化：Avrora，IPA： [ɐˈvrorə]）原為俄國波羅的海艦隊的一艘巡洋艦，這艘傳奇的巡洋艦經歷了兩次革命和三場戰爭，因參加十月革命而聞名於世。
曙光號巡洋艦1900年在聖彼得堡的海軍船廠下水，於1902年建成服役。艦長124米，艦寬17米，排水量6730噸。「阿芙羅拉」意為「曙光」，在古羅馬神話中是指司晨的女神。曙光號艦名繼承於1835年下水的快速帆船Аврора，而Аврора（快速帆船）的艦名則源自沙皇尼古拉一世皇后的侍女Аврора Карловна Карамзина。
1904年日俄戰爭爆發，曙光號隨俄國第二太平洋艦隊被派往遠東增援，1905年5月在對馬海峽海戰中俄國艦隊幾乎是全軍覆沒。曙光號脫離了俄國艦隊，掉頭穿過對馬海峽，最後到達菲律賓被扣留，戰後歸還俄國。
On May 27th 1905, during the Russo-Japanese War, the Russian Baltic Fleet is nearly destroyed at the Battle of Tsushima Strait. The decisive defeat, in which only 10 of 45 Russian warships escaped to safety, convinced Russian leaders that further resistance against Japan’s imperial designs for East Asia was hopeless.
On February 8t, 1904, following the Russian rejection of a Japanese plan to divide Manchuria and Korea into spheres of influence, Japan launched a surprise naval attack against Port Arthur, a Russian naval base in China. It was the first major battle of the 20th century, and the Russian fleet was decimated.
During the subsequent war, Japan won a series of decisive victories over the Russians, who underestimated the military potential of its non-Western opponent. In January 1905, the strategic naval base of Port Arthur fell to Japanese naval and ground forces under Admiral Heihachiro Togo, and in March Russian troops were defeated at Shenyang, China, by Japanese Field Marshal Iwao Oyama.

在第一次世界大戰中，1916年因作戰受傷到船廠維修。
1917年二月革命時，艦上水兵發動起義，參加推翻沙皇的鬥爭。
1917年11月7日（俄歷10月25日）曙光號的官兵接受布爾什維克黨指示，開進涅瓦河。9時45分，曙光號巡洋艦率先向當時的臨時政府所在地冬宮開炮（「十月革命一聲炮響」就是指曙光號巡洋艦炮打冬宮發出進攻的信號）。
1923年起，曙光號被編為訓練艦。
在第二次世界大戰中，1941年6月22日，德國入侵蘇聯，三個月後，隨即發生列寧格勒圍城戰，蘇聯紅軍於是將曙光號拆下9門火炮，組成「波羅的海艦隊獨立特種炮兵連」，部署在列寧格勒（聖彼得堡）城郊抵抗德軍的進攻，而曙光號因無力抵擋德軍的轟炸在港口自沉，直到戰爭後期，被打撈出水並進行了修復。
從1948年起，曙光號作為「十月革命」的紀念艦永久性停泊在涅瓦河畔，並成為海軍博物館供遊客參觀。
