Kronstadt

A revolt flared at the Kronstadt naval base in Soviet Russia in early March 1921. The Bolshevik government suppressed it after ten days of bitter fighting. The young Soviet Republic had just emerged from a long, hard-fought civil war. The masses were hungry, tired, and dissatisfied with the harsh war measures.
