On 7 November 1975, Captain 3rd Rank Valery Sablin seized the Storozhevoy, a Soviet Burevestnik Class missile frigate, and confined the ship's captain and other officers to the wardroom. Sablin's plan was to take the ship from the Gulf of Riga north into the Gulf of Finland and to Leningrad, through the Neva River, moor by the decommissioned cruiser Aurora, a symbol of the Russian revolution, from where he would, by radio and television, protest against the rampant corruption of the Brezhnev era. In that address, he was going to say what many were saying privately: the revolution and motherland were in danger; the ruling authorities were up to their necks in corruption, demagoguery, graft, and lies, leading the country into an abyss; the lofty ideals of Communism had been discarded, and there was a pressing need to revive the Leninist principles of justice (Sablin was a strong believer in Leninist values and considered the Soviet system to essentially have "sold out"). However a junior officer escaped from confinement and radioed for assistance. When the Storozhevoy cleared the mouth of the Gulf of Riga, she did so with 10 bomber and reconnaissance airplanes and thirteen warships in pursuit. Sablin surrendered after several bombs were dropped in front of and behind the ship.

All of the other mutineers were freed.
