The Kronstadt sailors had been in the vanguard of the revolutionary events of 1905 and 1917. In 1917, Trotsky called them the "pride and glory of the Russian Revolution.", before ordering the red army to destroy them.
But they felt betrayed by the Bolsheviks and formed an independent organisation.

Glorious Struggles
The Siege of St. Elizabeth's Hospital
On January the 27th and 28th, 2006, the St. Elizabeth's Hospital (Molebank) Cadre of the Kronstadt Sailors finally abandoned their defence after a week's hard fighting against zombies from Da Shamblin' WAAAGH, the Church of the Resurrection, and assorted ferals. Comrades Billy Bragg, Vule, Wladimir Uljanow and Hale all gave their utmost in defence of the hospital and its inhabitants. All the Kronstadt Sailors involved escaped alive, thanks to their superb co-ordination and co-operation. We shall not forget those who fell during the siege, nor shall we cease our efforts to free the people of Malton!
Then raise the scarlet standard high,
Within its shade we'll live and die,
Though cowards flinch and traitors sneer,
We'll keep the red flag flying here!
Goals
The Kronstadt Sailors are a group of radical communists, socialists and anarchists who aim to bring a utopia to Malton, bypassing the statist and authoritarian principle of the 'dictatorship of the proletariat'. We believe in the equality and freedom of all.
- W. Uljanow
Our goals are:
1) To enable people to act as free and mutually co-operative individuals, without the constraints of governance by anyone.
2) To assist those in need.
3) To defend those who are weak.
4) To destroy tyranny.
5) To revive the fallen.
In sum: To each according to their needs, from each according to their abilities.
- 'Doc' Steiner
Principles
The Kronstadt Sailors are an independent group, not a faction of any organisation, nor does it have any factions itself. There is no internal leadership, our comrades are free to come and go as they please.
The Kronstadt Sailors welcome the people of Malton as friends, allies and members. We'll provide any help and protection needed, free of obligations.
The Kronstadt Sailors have no use for any form of property. We share our goods with everyone. And we don't accept any claims of buildings or suburbs from other groups. In other words, we believe that everyone should be able to come and go as they wish.
The Kronstadt Sailors protect the people of Malton. To this end, we won't over-barricade buildings. Barricading is a necessary device to keep zombies from killing survivors, who should always be able to enter any building of their choice.
No building barricaded by a KS comrade will be built to a level higher than Very Strongly. When we come across buildings barricaded above this, we shall endeavour to ensure that there are nearby safehouses accessible to those who do not have Free Running.
The Kronstadt Sailors will give medical support for the wounded, military aid for the oppressed and scientific help for the fallen. Again, this will be done for free, regardless of group affiliation and without strings attached.
The only penality is exclusion. The Kronstadt Sailors will act to exclude those who attack or betray us (for example, by relaying our locations to zombies or groups of PKers) from all services. Exclusions will be decided by a vote taken by the KS, the results of which shall be posted here for all to see.
Constitution of the Kronstadt Sailors
The Constitution is an adjunct to our Principles (see above) which lays down the generally accepted norms of operation for all members of the Kronstadt Sailors. It is not The Law, nor does it seek to actively restrict, restrain, or prevent in any manner, comrades from acting as they wish. In order to fully understand the actions of the Kronstadt Sailors, our Principles and Constitution should be seen as interdependant.
Article One: All buildings will be barricaded to Very Strongly as an absolute maximum. However, in extreme and exceptional circumstances, comrades may be forced for their own safety to barricade above this limit - as soon as the danger is past, the barricades will be lowered to Very Strongly once more.
Article Two: The Kronstadt Sailors consider Headshot to be a skill which, while controversial, is the player's choice to take or not to take.
Article Three: Politeness and decency are qualities that are necessary for the smooth running of society - the Kronstadt Sailors will therefore behave with the utmost appropriate politeness and decency with regards to any situation.
Article Four: The Kronstadt Sailors will give medical aid to any beleaguered survivors, regardless of group.
Article Five: Due to the nature of Urban Dead, the Kronstadt Sailors will revive zombies where and when possible, but reserve the right to temporarily incapacitate them through violent means if necessary. Fun is the aim of the game after all, comrades.
Joining The Kronstadt Sailors
The Kronstadt Sailors are committed to supporting Malton's survivors, be they organised groups or individuals. At the same time, we will do our best to ensure that the zombie hordes don't get fed up and lurch back to their graves. To that end, we're looking for the following sort of people to join us:
First and foremost, we'd like to see anti-authoritarians of any stripe! Basically, if you consider yourself a lefty, the Kronstadt Sailors is the place for you.

Vitally, you must be willing to work within a group. All members of the Kronstadt Sailors have an equal say in the direction of the group, thanks to our combination of direct democracy and no single leader.
We do not accept those who abuse alts, zerg, cheat in any way, or spy. The Kronstadt Sailors are here to have fun and introduce Malton to freedom and equality at the same time.
If you would like to join, either PM Wladimir Uljanow or join our Forum - this is purely so we can keep track of who's joined. Once we recognise you (by replying to you, basically), you make your membership official with a simple two-stage process.
