In March 1921 the sailors of Kronstadt, the naval fortress in
the Gulf of Finland, rose in revolt against the Bolshevik
government, which they themselves had helped into power. Under the
slogan of A'free soviets, '' they established a revolutionary
commune that survived for sixteen days, until an army came across
the ice to crush it. After a savage struggle, the rebels were
subdued. Paul Avrich vividly describes the uprising and examines it
in the context of the development of the Soviet state.
Originally published in 1991.
