1906 Kronstadt Mutiny

During the night of 19 July [O.S.] 1906, a mutiny occurred among the sailors stationed at Kronstadt naval base, in the aftermath of Tsar Nicholas II's dissolution of the First Duma earlier that month. The mutiny was put down by the next day, as the mutineers lacked sufficient weaponry and the refusal of a key infantry regiment to participate in the uprising.
