Stepan Petrichenko was the leader of the revolution comiteé appointed which led to the Kronstadt Rebellion of 1921. Their resolution was aimed at the very heart of the Bolsheviks, mainly its politics, which many consider to be a fatal blow to Lenin. The proletariat itself had turned against him. Petrichenko was originally born in Hungary to parents who practised farming. He was not a career officer in the Baltic fleet, and when he was made leader he was an engineer on the battle ship Petropavolask. He had been stationed on the Kronstadt Marine Base since 1905. After the rebellion was struck down by Trotskij, he fled over the ice to Finland, where he continued his aggitation against the Bolsheviks. He stayed in Finland for many years, until he got into a conflict with the Finnish government after supporting Soviet groups during the war between The Soviet Union and Finland in 1940. He was expelled to the Soviet Union, where he was soon arrested and deported to prison camp where he died shortly after.
