Mutiny on the cruiser Pamyat Azova

On the night of 20 June 1906 (Old Style) sailors of the Russian training cruiser Pamyat Azova, lying in the Tallinn roadstead, rose in revolt, killed several officers and raised the red flag, hoping to spark an uprising in the Baltic Fleet. The rest of the crew and the shore did not join them; the ship was retaken within hours and the mutineers arrested. A court martial sentenced eighteen leaders to death, and they were shot in Tallinn that August. Today the bay off Tallinn's harbour, where the cruiser lay at anchor, is crossed by ferries to Helsinki and Stockholm.

1906. aasta 20. juuni (vkj) öösel tõstsid Tallinna reidil seisnud Vene õppekristleja Pamjat Azova madrused mässu, tapsid mitu ohvitseri ja heiskasid punalipu, lootes kogu Balti laevastiku üles tõsta. Ülejäänud meeskond ja kallas neid ei toetanud – laev võeti mõne tunniga tagasi ja mässajad arreteeriti. Sõjakohus mõistis 18 eestvedajat surma ja nad lasti augustis Tallinnas maha. Tänapäeval sõidavad üle sadama esise lahe, kus ristleja ankrus seisis, laevad Helsingisse ja Stockholmi.
