What: A rebellion by sailors, soldiers, and workers at the Kronstadt naval base in 1921, against the Bolshevik government. Why significant: The Kronstadt Mutiny was significant because it represented a major challenge to the legitimacy of the Soviet government and the Bolsheviks' claim to represent the interests of the working class. The rebels demanded an end to the one-party system, greater political freedoms, and an end to economic coercion and forced labor. The mutiny was ultimately suppressed by the Red Army, but it contributed to growing disillusionment with the Bolsheviks and their policies. Decade/era: 1921
