Captain 3rd Rank Valery Mikhailovich Sablin (Russian: Вале́рий Миха́йлович Са́блин) (1 January 1939 – 3 August 1976) was a Soviet Navy officer and a member of the Communist Party. In November 1975, he noticed the rampant corruption and stagnation in Leonid Brezhnev's Soviet Union, he then led a mutiny on the Soviet anti-submarine frigate, Storozhevoy (Russian: Сторожевой, Storoževoj, meaning "Sentry") in the hope of starting a Leninist political revolution in the Soviet Union. His mutiny failed and he was executed for treason nine months later.
