TIL about the Kronstadt Rebellion: a group of sailors and civilians disappointed in the direction of the Bolshevik government —whom Leon Trotsky himself had praised earlier as the “adornment and pride of the revolution”—demanded a series of reforms: reduction in Bolshevik power, newly elected soviets (councils) to include socialist and anarchist groups, economic freedom for peasants and workers, dissolution of the bureaucratic governmental organs created during the civil war, and the restoration of civil rights for the working class.
I’ve got a pin somewhere about Kronstadt, I feel you
