When the Russo-Japanese War flared up in 1904-5 he volunteered her to reinforce the Russian Pacific Fleet being assembled to steam half way around the world. Massively overloaded with supplies and coal and fitted with wireless and Hotchkiss guns, she lead a squadron at the Battle of Tsushima.

Svietlana, who had been damaged, was caught off the island of Ulleungdo early the next morning and fought until her engines were damaged and she was ablaze. Her officers scuttled her rather than surrender and she went down with colours flying, her survivors being saved by the Japanese cruiser America Maru.
