During its 45 years of service, the legendary ship managed to participate in four wars and two revolutions. Its total life span since launching has been more than 120 years.
The bow cannon has been preserved on the upper deck of the ship, the shot of which served as the signal for the storming of the Winter Palace in October 1917.

It has always been believed that sharks are primitive animals that cannot be trained and trained. Visitors who witness these feedings are convinced of how undeservedly man has belittled these ancient inhabitants of the ocean.
