		The Knaiaz Potemkin Tavritcheki - more popularly referred to simply as Potemkin - comprised a pre-war Russian battleship, launched in 1903 (having been laid down five years earlier), which gained notoriety in 1905 when its crew took part in a failed revolutionary mutiny.
		As a pre-Dreadnought displacing some 12,800 tons and with a crew of 731 the Potemkin was renamed Pantelimon and placed to wartime use in 1914 along with six other Russian pre-Dreadnoughts in the Black Sea, chiefly geared towards coastal defence.

		He answers with the powerful story of the 1905 mutiny of the sailors of the Potemkin in their struggle against the repressive officers of the Russian Imperial Navy.
		The Potemkin had many troubles, and after many tribulations, eventually turned herself in to the Romanian government, and the sailors were given asylum in Romania.
		Many modern day film critics assume that historians have deduced the actual concrete events of the Potemkin mutiny down to small details and thus assume that Eisenstein's creation "owes more to mythmaking than to historical fidelity,"(4) but their attitudes refuse to acknowledge their distance from the subject and the confused nature of the event.

		He spared neither men, money, nor himself in attempting to carry out his gigantic scheme for the colonization of the south Russian steppes; but he never calculated the cost, and more than three-quarters of the design had to be abandoned when but half finished.
		Catherines famous expedition to the south irs 1787 was a veritable triumph for Potemkin; for he contrived to conceal all the weak points of his administration and to present everything in a rose-colored light.
		But the army was ill-equipped and unprepared; and Potemkin in an hysterical fit of depression gave everything up for lost, and would have resigned but for the steady encouragement of the empress.

		In an effort to show the Empress that her policies were improving the lot of the Russian people Potemkin arranged for the Empress to take boat tours on the Volga to see the lives of ordinary Russians.
		Each night as the Imperial party rested (and Potemkin presumably got laid) the cute little village was moved down the river to the next stop on the Empress' itinerary.
		Whether Catherine was actually aware of the deception is unknown but the phrase "Potemkin Village" came to mean a false façade, something that was created solely to look good for a particular audience.

		On a journey through the Ukraine and Crimea -- what might be called a campaign swing today -- it was Potemkin's precedent-setting duty to construct fake pretty villages along her route, houses and barns worthy of a second-rate Hollywood Western, where all the buildings had but one nicely painted side.

	The revolt on the armoured cruiser "Potemkin"
		Naturally, the "Potemkin" should have immediately sent the torpedo-boat to the "George the Conqueror," to arrest the petty officers, to put the guards at the guns and then compel one of the steamers in the harbour to tow the cruiser off the shoal and not allow the soldiers to join with it.
		When the "Potemkin" had left, the police, the gendarmes, the Tsarist generals and capitalists felt themselves to be masters of the situation, and carried out a devilish revenge on the revolting workers, repaying them for the terror and excitement through which they had lived.
		The revolt on the cruiser "Potemkin" in 1905 was one of the object lessons of the revolutionary struggle, in which the broad masses of workers and peasants and particularly the sailors and soldiers, learned the lesson of revolutionary struggle and the concrete tactics of armed revolt.

		POTEMKIN is a film in which individual characters are much less important than the groups and crowds of which they are members, and it achieves its incredible power by showing the clash of the groups and crowds in a series of extraordinarily visualized and edited sequences.
		Amazingly, each of these sequences manage to top the previous one, and the film actually builds in power as it moves from the mutiny to the citizen's rally to the massacre on the Odessa steps--the latter of which is among the most famous sequences in all of film history.
		In the movie, the Potemkin retaliates by shelling the opera house in the city, supposedly the headquarters of the murderous soldiers.

		Potemkin is perhaps best remembered for the legendary "Potemkin Villages" he is said to have created for her benefit as she embarked on a grand tour of all the newly Russianized lands he had conquered for her.
		These "villages," it was said, were little more than elaborate stage sets of prosperous towns, populated by cheerful serfs, all of which were quickly collapsed and set up again at the next stop on Catherine’s carefully plotted itinerary.
		The artificiality of the Potemkin Villages came to represent in the minds of many, Catherine’s superficial and halfhearted attempts to reform and liberalize her kingdom.

		Of course, calling Bush the Potemkin president is actually a gross insult to the genuine article -- Prince Grigory Potemkin, the man who allegedly had fake villages constructed on the shores of the Dnieper River in order to impress the Czarina Catherine during an official inspection tour.
		And the same may one day be said of some of the unflattering Katrina stories now circulating about Bush -- although the photographic evidence of him strumming his official presidential guitar while New Orleans sank beneath the waves is going to make it pretty hard to shake the equally inevitable Nero comparisons.
		The ultimate Potemkin Village, in other words, may be the archaic structures of the American republic.
