A mutiny on a Russian warship becomes successful. The crew helps revolutionaries in town fight knout-wielding Cossacks, turning their guns on government buildings.
Edison also had a film recounting the mutiny on the Potemkin. Western film makers were sympathetic to the plight of the Russian underclasses; see THE NIHILIST (1905) or RUSSIAN ANTI-SEMITIC ATROCITIES (1905). This version, with several camera set-ups, is a very advanced film for the year. However, as large as it loomed in revolutionary mythology, it became an article of faith that the West did not care. Take a look at this movie and make the claim.
It all washed away in the face of Eisenstein's version. If you wish to accept the claim that the apAcademicians invented everything they use, that's another useful myth.
