TIL the ending of Eisenstein's Battleship Potemkin is bullshit. In the film, the sailors on the ship convince the approaching Tsarist squadron to join the Revolution and everyone cheers, crisis averted, Revolution picking up steam!
IRL, the mutineers sought asylum in Constanța, Romania. This was granted by King Carol I. The few Russians who attempted to return home were executed or sent to Siberia.
There's a great article on the actual events, Radu Jude's short film recalling/satirizing the situation, and the ill-fated Spomenik to commemorate it.

Chilling on a summer day in Constanța.
@ Teatrul National de Opera si Balet - Oleg Danovski
all is calm on the Romanian Black Sea coast. it’s the first time i’ve been since it’s not been so calm in the country just north of here, the first time i’ve been since COVID.
Out for a late morning walk around the Peninsula, Constanța.
After a quick drink at our favourite watering hole (Hypso25) we went down to take a look a Black Sea.
Interesting sky this morning over #BlackSea #Constanța #Constanta #Dobrogea #românia #Romania
