Naw, I already know how it was, I saw Battleship Potempkin.
Potyomkin was made in 1925. It's a story about a rebellion in Russian Empire, not USSR.
In Soviet Navy there was no such a huge "gap" between sailors and officers, like in Russian Imperial navy or British navy.
In summer 1905 there was a big unrest in the Navy, after Tsushima and surrender in Port Arthur. Naval rebellions happened until 1907, "Pamyat' Azova" cruiser in the Baltic. Cruiser Ochakov, Sveaborg fortress....
About USSR - there were so manyt hings completely alien and absolutely different to anyone living in so-called "free world" that even I don't understand it all myself.
