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.[1][2] The mutineers, who were poorly organised and lacked effective leadership, engaged in arson and looting.[3] 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.[3]
