 At the end of the Russo @-@ Japanese war , the ship was transferred to the Baltic in early 1906 and helped to suppress the Sveaborg Rebellion later that year . Around 1906 , her fighting top was removed and her superstructure was cut down . The 75 mm guns in the superstructure were apparently removed as well . Tsesarevich made regular winter cruises to the Mediterranean before World War I and aided survivors of the Messina earthquake in December 1908 . In 1909 – 10 the ship 's machinery was overhauled and her amidships casemated 75 mm guns were removed and plated over four years later . Tsesarevich was not very active during the early part of World War I and she reportedly received two 37 mm anti @-@ aircraft guns during the war . Because of her inactivity her bored sailors joined the general mutiny of the Baltic Fleet in early 1917 . She was renamed Grazhdanin ( Russian : <unk> ( meaning Citizen ) ) on 13 April 1917 after the February Revolution . The ship took part in the Battle of Moon Sound in October 1917 . During the climatic part of the battle , Grazhdanin engaged the German minesweepers on 17 October with little effect while Slava engaged the German dreadnoughts König and Kronprinz . The latter fired at Grazhdanin and hit her twice , killing one and wounding four crewmen , although neither hit caused significant damage . The German dreadnoughts outranged Grazhdanin , and she was forced to retreat and abandon Moon Sound in the face of German pressure .
