Myteriet på Storozjevoj

[CvD]

1976 skedde ett myteri på en sovjetisk fregatt (Storozjevoj) av Krivak-klass i Rigas hamn. Fartyget försökte nå Gotland men stoppades med vapenmakt av de sovjetiska styrkorna innan de nådde fram. Om den hade nått fram så skulle nog U137-affären ha framstått som ett lätt problem för den svenska regeringen.

Hursomhelst, de enda uppgifter jag har lyckats hitta om det hela var dels i Operation Garbo och dels i en Tom Clancy-bok, vilka nog inte kan klassas som särskilt säkra historiska källor och "I kamp mot överheten" av Hans von Hoffsten. Så jag undrar om någon kan bidra med lite mer information och ev böcker och hemsidor som belyser händelsen mer.

Det låter intressant faktiskt, hade ingen aning om det innan, men kanske någon av de sökmotorer som finns tillgängliga. Undrar om inte http://www.catweb.nu har en länk dit också.

Efter att sökt på ryska Google har följande kommit fram. Jag har tagit mig friheten att översätta texten med hjälp av altavista. Detta kanske är en början, jag har bara skummat genom texten som hastigt. Jag var ute igår. Fast jag har inte sett att de skulle segla till Sverige.

Protesting against the Brezhnev regime, it arrested the craft commander, arbitrarily removed vessel from the raid in Riga and povel into Leningrad. After declaring ship the territory independent from the state and party organs, Sablin planned to arise to the raid next to the "aurora" and from there daily to leave into tele-ether, calling Soviet people to the unlimited strike. Nothing similar in the country it occurred from the times of "Potemkin's Battleship" and "Lieutenant Schmidt". Large antisubmarine warfare ship "watch" was stopped in The irbenskeye molded edge by the Soviet bombers Su-24, which threw out to the rebellious vessel a series of the projectiles, which damaged control. Then to the deck was landed the boarding group, which arrested the instigator of uprising. The Military Judicial Board of the Supreme Court OF THE USSR accused Sablina of the most shameful for the officer crime - high treason - and sentenced to the shooting. In 1994 Valerie sablin's matter was reviewed by the Military Judicial Board of the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation. In the accusatory conclusion for it was replaced "rasstrel'nuyu" article about high treason by the articles about the military crimes: exceeding authority, insubordination and resistance to chief.

Gjorde en ny sökning och hittade följande:

On November 8, 1975, the Storozhevoy, a Soviet Krivak-class missile frigate, attempted to run from Riga, Latvia, to the Swedish island of Gotland. The political officer aboard, Valery Sablin, led a mutiny of the enlisted personnel. Sablin and 26 others were court-martialled and shot.' However, the real story of the Red October was hidden at the time by the Soviet government and only now have been revealed.

Until the end of the Cold War western intelligence believed that the crew was going to defect, and this was the basis of Clancy's book and the film. However, new evidence which emerged during the last days of the Soviet Union and which was revealed in the Channel Four programme shows that Clancy's account is inaccurate. The aim of the Sentry was not to defect to the West, nor could it be because the leader of the mutiny, Valery Sablin was a committed Communist. His intention was not to flee to the West, but to provoke a political revolution in the USSR with the aim of overthrowing the rule of the privileged Stalinist bureaucracy and restoring a genuine regime of Leninist soviet democracy. As the programme's notes put it: "A fervent believer in Communism, Sablin was making for Leningrad (now St Petersburg). Inspired by the memory of the battleship Potemkin, which had mutinied during the rising of 1905, and by the cruiser Aurora, which had ignited the revolution of 1917, he hoped that his mutiny would spark a new rebellion in Leningrad, and complete what he saw as the unfinished Russian Revolution."

Så dom tänkte mao försöka skapa en ny revolution,
Tror att möjligheten att lyckas hade nog varit små.

Hur som helst är det lite konstigt att man inte hört mer om det, särskilt under den tid när vi i väst trodde att det var ett flyktförsök till Gotland...

En intressant historia. Tack för alla länkar. Här är ytterligare ett par uppgifter som jag läst/hört om denna händelse. Fråga mig inte om källor dock för det kommer jag inte ihåg, men förmodligen är det sånt som jag minns från diskussioner i gruppen sci.military.naval.

1. När man skulle stoppa Storozjevoj så gick flygplanen först av misstag till anfall mot en Sverdlov-klass kryssare tillhörig Östersjöflottan som deltog i jakten (antingen Sverdlov själv eller möjligen Oktiabrskaja Revoliutsija). Kryssaren fick skador i bryggpartiet. I min Jane's Fighting Ships 1984-85 så finns följande kommentar om Oktiabrskaja Revoliutsija:
-citat-
"Oktyabrskaya Revolutsiya completed refit in early 1977... (klipp) ...which included the extension of bridge work aft, the fitting of eight 30 mm mounts with associated four Drum Tilt radars and the removal of Egg Cup radars from 100 mm turrets."
-slut citat-

2. Storozjevoj förflyttades efter reparation till Stilla Havsflottan och fick nytt namn (vet dock inte vilket). Den Krivak I-klass fregatt som bar namnet Storozjevoj under 80- och 90-talen är alltså inte identisk med den där myteriet skedde.

Det var ju lugnande att lära att det gällde en Sovjetutopist - och inte ett försök till massavhopp i Slite. Vilket media - när det hände - övertygade alla, inklusive denne skribent.

Vad vet vi egentligen om det ? De sensaste uppgifterna är hämtade ifrån en hemsida med namnet marxist.com ! Jag blir inte förvånad av att dom försöker använda sig av denna historia till sin fördel. Tyvärr tror jag det blir väldigt svårt att få reda på vad dom egentligen tänkte göra iom att de flesta sköts. Bara min tanke.

Hej!
Jag fick i slutet på 90-talet en del material från Estland angående detta fall. Sjablin var visst politisk officer ombord och han avrättades den 3 augusti 1976.
Detta ämne var ju tabu och år 1981 gjorde en precis liknande sovjetisk kryssare ett flottbesök i Helsingfors. Jag var och tog en närmare titt på fartyget varunder jag i förbifarten slängde en replik åt några kommunister som beundrade kryssaren "Jag ville se på hurudant fartyg de gjorde myteri!" De tittade på mig som om jag pratat i nattmössan. De hade aldrig hört om detta myteri.

Händelseförloppet och syftet med myteriet är nog ganska klarlagt. Bara två personer dömdes för myteriet, initivativtagaren Valerij Sablin och en av matroserna, Alexander Shein. Sablin dömdes till döden (för några år sen omvandlades Sablins straff till 10 år i fängelse, tyvärr var då avrättningen redan verkställd...) medans Shein fick ca 10 år i arbetsläger. Samtliga övriga inblandade i myteriet klarade sig undan utan att ens ställas inför rätta efter att de gjort avbön.

[Mikael Eklund]

Ber om ursäkt och tackar för rättningen

[Boroda]

Kan för övrigt bara nämna att de attackplan som anföll Storozjevoj inte var Su-24-or utan Yak-28B

[Frogman]

Läste i en Lektyr ifrån 1976 att 50-tal personer omkom på fartyget som gjorde myteri i samband med
bombningarna.

Plus då dom ev. förluster som uppstod när man först bombade eller raketbesköt Sverdlov-klass kryssaren av misstag.

Tydligen drevs myteristernas båt av samma turbiner som fanns på Tu-144 (Concordski) och dom körde inte för fullt utan endast på halvfart, trots detta så var det svårt att träffa båten och dom råkade träffa en annan båt istället. Myteristerna besvarade aldrig elden, utan fokuserade på att
försöka fly.
Orsaken till myteriet var att muck datum blivit inställt efter 4-års värnplikt.

Jag har för mig att jag läst nånstans att denna händelse gav Tom Clancy idén till "Jakten på Röd Oktober"
