1921 The beginning of the uprising in Kronstadt
95 years ago, on March 1, 1921, an anti-Bolshevik uprising of sailors began in Kronstadt. A 15,000-strong rally took place on Anchor Square under the slogan "Power to the Soviets, not to parties!". The speech of the head of the All-Russian Central Executive Committee Mikhail Kalinin at the rally was disrupted, although he was freely released from the fortress. But the commissioner of the Baltic Fleet, Nikolai Kuzmin, was arrested.
