1905 Kronstadt Mutiny

On 26 October 1905, a mutiny erupted among soldiers and sailors stationed at the Kronstadt naval base, following the arrest of 50 soldiers who tried to present their demands to their regiment commander. The mutineers, who were poorly organised and lacked effective leadership, engaged in arson and looting. On 28 October, troops were brought in from St. Petersburg to suppress the mutiny, which resulted in the deaths of 16 sailors and 1 civilian.
