Sobre IBD

The Russian cruiser Aurora, launched in 1900, fought in the Russo-Japanese War and is probably most famous for her role in the Bolshevik Revolution of 1917. This edition commemorates the 100th anniversary of that event and brings the history of the vessel up to date. All of the photos and drawings are in their original color and are printed on coated paper.
