120 years ago today, on June 27, 1905 (the 25th lunar month), the Russian Black Sea Fleet "Potemkin" revolted.

On June 14, 1905, the sailors of the ironclad USS Potemkin of the Russian Black Sea Fleet revolted. On June 27, 1905, after shooting a group of the most hateful officers, the rebels raised the revolutionary red flag and sailed their warships to Odessa.

In the port of Odessa, where revolutionary activities are frequent, citizens support the soldiers on the USS Potemkin. The Russian government ordered Cossack cavalry to enter Odessa to suppress the rebellion by force. Soon, due to material shortages, the Potemkin sailed into Romania's neutral port of Constanta, seeking political asylum. He was extradited to the tsarist government the following year, and many sailors were sentenced to heavy sentences. Lenin believed that this uprising was the first mass revolutionary movement in the tsarist army.

Although the uprising of the ironclad Botemkin failed, it showed that the Russian proletarian revolution was gradually reaching a climax under the guidance of Lenin's revolutionary strategy.

The story "The Warship Potemkin" made by the famous Russian director Eisenstein based on the story of the Potemkin is an immortal classic in the history of film.

Eisenstein's "The Warship Potemkin"(1925) is a film full of revolutionary passion. He assembled highly expressive pictures and created exciting revolutionary sparks. His films do not focus on portraying the gender of the characters, but focus on using metaphorical poetic film language to express the huge role of the entire proletariat as a driving force for history. The paragraph "Odessa Stairs" in "Warship Potemkin" uses a set of montage shots to vividly expose the bloody suppression of unarmed people by the tsarist army, using romantic techniques to express the cruel reality.
