This cruiser was named after its legendary predecessor, who heroically died in the summer of 1904 in a battle with the Japanese in the Yellow Sea. This ship was rightfully considered the "best armored cruiser" of its time and became the flagship of the Baltic Fleet and the favorite of Emperor Nicholas II, and Nikolai Ottovich Essen was appointed its first commander. Built in England according to Russian technical requirements (a successful fusion of fresh combat experience with the advanced industry of the "mistress of the seas"), the Rurik was also extremely beautiful - its swift silhouette personified the ideal of naval aesthetics - and more than once led Russian squadrons on foreign campaigns, showing the St. Andrew's flag around the world.
