Battle or uprising · 1872
Kreenholm strike
In August 1872 the workers of the huge Kreenholm cotton mill on an island in the Narva rapids stopped work. They protested against fourteen-hour days, fines, cramped barracks and the management's response to a cholera outbreak in the mill settlement. Troops were brought in, the strike was broken and its leaders were tried and punished. It is remembered as one of the first major industrial strikes in the Russian Empire. Today the vast red-brick mill buildings still stand on Kreenholm island beside the Narva River, silent since the factory closed in 2010.

Eesti keeles
1872. aasta augustis jätsid Narva kose saarel asuva hiigelsuure Kreenholmi puuvillavabriku töölised töö katki. Nad protestisid 14-tunniste tööpäevade, trahvide, kitsaste kasarmute ja vabriku juhtkonna käitumise vastu asulas puhkenud koolera ajal. Kohale toodi sõjaväelased, streik suruti maha ning selle juhid anti kohtu alla ja karistati. Seda peetakse üheks esimeseks suureks tööstusstreigiks Vene impeeriumis. Tänapäeval seisavad Narva jõe ääres Kreenholmi saarel endiselt tohutud punastest tellistest vabrikuhooned, mis on vaikinud alates vabriku sulgemisest 2010. aastal.
