The 1921 revolt by sailors at Kronstadt, a naval fortress, marked a significant uprising against the Bolshevik government they once supported. Driven by the demand for "free soviets," the sailors established a revolutionary commune that lasted sixteen days before being violently suppressed by the army. Paul Avrich provides a detailed account of the uprising and explores its implications within the broader narrative of the Soviet state's evolution.
