	International Encyclopedia of Military History
		Mutiny does not normally include the rebellion of military forces in a coup d'etat, rebellion or revolt, such as the actions of a Roman praetorian guard to install a new emperor, or the revolt of certain elements of the Spanish army against the II Republic in 1936.
		Mutinies occur when the subordinates in a unit lose confidence in the ability of their superior officers to satisfy their grievances, order legal actions, avoid the unnecessary risk or sacrifice of their lives, or when the leaders otherwise present a hazard to their condition or well-being.
		Mutinies were more common in the premodern era when pay and support of troops was irregular, as in the case of Spanish units serving in the Netherlands in the late sixteenth century.

		Mutiny is the act of conspiring to disobey an order that a group of similarly-situated individuals (typically members of the military; or the crew of any ship, even if they are civilians) is legally obliged to obey.
		While many mutinies were carried out in response to backpay and/or poor conditions within the military unit or on the ship, some mutinies, such as the Connaught Rangers mutiny and the Wilhelmshaven mutiny, were part of larger movements or revolutions.
		The Mutiny Act legislated for offences in respect of which death or penal servitude could be awarded, and the Articles of War, while repeating those provisions of the act, constituted the direct authority for dealing with offences for which imprisoument was the maximum punishment as well as with many matters relating to trial and procedure.

	Sergei Mikhailovich Eisenstein
		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.
		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.
		After the end of the armed mutiny against the officers, Hough says, "considered in their total, the problems facing Matushenko could send the mind reeling."(14) He considers the mutiny to be Matushenko's responsibility, and the problems are facing him, and not the entire mutinous crew of the Potemkin.

	Socialism Today - Revolution on the screen
		On the one hand, the rebellion by the sailors remained an exception, the apparatus of the state was not completely paralysed, the rising by workers and peasants was not met with unlimited solidarity by the soldiers.
		The film shows a lot: the power of the revolution; the enthusiasm it caused among large sections of the petit bourgeoisie (which is torn between the working class and the ruling elite); the active role of women in the rebellion; the attempts of the church to prop up the old order.
		The mutiny on board the Potemkin occurred before the formation of the workers’ councils — soviets, the great ‘invention’ of 1905 with which the working people of Russia created their own organs for struggle, to seize power and organise the new society.

		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.
		The role of Potemkin in 1905 was subsequently depicted on film by famed director Sergei Eisenstein in 1925.

	Battleship Potemkin
		Sergei Eisentein's silent classic was made in 1925 as a homage to the abortive 1905 Russian naval mutiny.
		The film was rejected when submitted to the BBFC in September 1926 on the grounds that films should not address issues of 'political controversy' and that Potemkin's pro-Revolutionary message was therefore unacceptable for classification.
		Following the BBFC's rejection of the film, Potemkin was submitted to the London County Council and Middlesex County Council for certificates for local screenings.

		Potemkin was the last and largest of eight Russian capital ships commissioned between 1886 and 1900 for the Black Sea Fleet, one of three dictated by Russia's peculiar maritime geography.
		Sympathy for reform varied from ship to ship, and Potemkin's crew was viewed as among the most loyal, but after the ship sailed for Tendra, on June 27 the men refused to eat maggotinfested meat that had been brought aboard.
		Under threat of bombardment by Potemkin at point-blank range, she came about but was driven hard aground on the harbor mole, thus putting her powerful guns at the disposal of the military authorities in Odessa.

		With that, the crew seized control of the Potemkin, and were joined by Russian torpedo boat 267, which was already accompanying the battleship on maneuvers.
		A few days later, a funeral was held for one of the sailors who died during the initial mutiny on the battleship.
		By this point the authorities were becoming increasingly concerned with the conduct of the Potemkin crew, and thusly sent two naval squadrons after the battleship with instructions to persuade the crew to give up, or, failing that, sink the ship.

	Bronenosets Potemkin
		After the Bolshevik Revolution in 1917 the new Soviet government assumed control of the film industry, denounced the capitalist cinema of pre-Revolution Tsarist Russia, and decreed that the Soviet cinema was to be used for education and propaganda—to indoctrinate the Russian masses and to promote class consciousness throughout the world.
		Although the film was originally supposed to chronicle the entire rebellion, Eisenstein decided to limit the story to just one representative episode—the mutiny on the Potemkin and the subsequent civilian massacre on the steps leading down to Odessa harbour.
		Three shots of marble lions—the first is sleeping, the second waking, and the third rising— seen in rapid succession give the impression of a single lion rising to its feet, a metaphor for the rebellion of the Russian masses against Tsarist oppression.

	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.
