Junker Mutiny

The Junker mutiny was a revolt in Petrograd to support Kerensky's counter coup.

Revolt
On November 11th 1917 the Junker schools in Petrograd revolted in favor of Kerensky's coup d'etat. The junkers of Nikolayevskoye School of Engineers soon captured the manege (In which they captured some armored cars), the telephone exchange and Hotel Astoria. They disarmed many Bolshevik units and cut off power from Smolny. The Vladimirskoye Military School also joins in the revolt. Due to these victories the junkers send out telegraphs saying they've already won and calling for the rest to surrender. The Bolsheviks did not surrender however and managed to return the telephone exchange and surround Nikolayeskoye. The revolt collapsed soon after.
