"Red Mutiny" tells how the sailors of Imperial Russia's newest and
most powerful battleship, Potemkin, seized control and flew the red
flag of revolution in June 1905. It is a tale of dramatic
adventure, naval battles, heroic sacrifices, treachery and intrigue
at the court of the last Tsar. A dedicated band of revolutionaries
inspire and lead the sailors to overthrow their tyrannical
officers, but the Potemkin finds itself steaming around the Black
Sea with the rest of the fleet in pursuit. Hunted from port to
port, the mutineers enter Odessa, sparking a bloody insurrection
(made famous by Eisenstein's film) and bringing Imperial Russia to
its knees. As Lenin and many others recognized at the time, this
was the key event that would make the Russian revolution possible.
The political consequences of this mutiny were profound, but the
author concentrates on the individuals involved in these dramatic
events: it is a brilliantly realized, cinematic treatment that
really brings the story to life.
