#121: Mutiny on the Storozhevoy [a second Communist Revolution] presented by #42 Alex Baumans
<p>In 1975, an idealistic Soviet political officer decided it was time to restart the Communist Revolution, and that the best way to do that was by fomenting mutiny on a state-of-the-art anti-submarine destroyer with nuclear capabilities.</p> <p><a href= "https://order-of-the-jackalope.com/mutiny-on-the-storozhevoy/">https://order-of-the-jackalope.com/mutiny-on-the-storozhevoy/</a></p> <p>Presented by #42, Alex Baumans. Alex is pathologically interested in anything unusual and obscure. He's a closet goth, armchair general and amateur theologian. His favorite animals are ducks, octopodes and pigs. You will also find him surprisingly knowledgable about K-Pop girl groups.</p> <p>Key sources for this episode include Michael Fredholm Von Essen's The Hunt for the Storozhevoy and Gregory D. Young and Nate Braden's The Last Sentry.</p> <p>The Ancient and Esoteric Order of the Jackalope is a secret society devoted to the idea that that which is least known is best to know.
