Spokesman for the Navy Dmitry Dygalo and Director of the Central Naval Museum Andrei Lyalin appeared today at the press conference onboard cruiser Avrora.

Officials told about future status of the relic ship. After promulgation of Directive of the Navy Commander-in-Chief Admiral Vysotsky about disbandment of military crew and decommission of the Navy's No. 1 ship, Avrora's future touched not only St. Petersburg's community but everyone not indifferent to the history of our country.

It was announced that the cruiser would be commanded by an officer, the military crew would be replaced with civil employees, and the ship would remain subordinate to the Navy and Leningrad Naval Base.

Russian Navy's St. Andrew's Flag will be daily hoisted and lowered in accordance with the Navy Regulations by cadets of Nakhimov Naval School located next to Avrora.

The ship's transfer to the Central Navy Museum will be carried out with all due care during 2-3 months. Technical condition of the cruiser will be thoroughly assessed by specially assigned highly qualified panel.
