Mutiny on the Potemkin Leads Sailors to Revolt at Sea
Reported by Le Journal correspondent from Kustenji Romania, the mutiny aboard the Kniaz Potemkin left several officers dead after sailors refused tainted meat and seized control. Mastutchenko, a sergeant major, led the revolt declaring war on tyranny as officers were arrested and stripped of rank. The crew then moved toward open sea while a surgeon was killed and mutineers sang the International. The mutiny followed tensions after earlier battles with Russia’s army and navy.
