1917 Kronstadt Mutiny

Beginning on 28 February [O.S.] 1917, an uprising occurred among the sailors stationed at the Kronstadt naval base, in response to the unrest taking place in Petrograd. Almost the entire garrison stationed at the naval base participated in the mutiny, during which many naval officers were either killed or imprisoned by the rebellious sailors, including the commander-in-chief Admiral Wiren.
