Interesting facts

La révolution en Russie, also known as Les événements d'Odessa and La révolte du cuirassée Potemkine, is a 1905 French silent short film directed by Lucien Nonguet, and distributed in English-speaking countries under the titles Revolution in Russia and Revolution in Odessa. The film dramatises the re-enactment of events that had taken place a short time before in the context of the 1905 Russian Revolution and which would be the subject twenty years later of Sergei Eisenstein's celebrated film, Battleship Potemkin.

Production

The film was announced in the July 1905 supplement of the Pathé catalogue, in the series Scènes historiques, politiques et d'actualité (Historical, political and current affairs scenes), only a few weeks after the Potemkin mutiny which took place on 27 June.
