===Dybenko's disputed role===
Some sources contend that as the leader of [[Tsentrobalt]], [[Pavlo Dybenko]] played a crucial role in the revolt and that the ten warships that arrived at the city with ten thousand [[Baltic Fleet]] mariners were the force that took the power in Petrograd and put down the Provisional Government. The same mariners then dispersed by force the [[State Duma (Russian Empire)|elected parliament]] of Russia,<ref>{{Cite web |title=ВОЕННАЯ ЛИТЕРАТУРА – [ Мемуары ] – Дыбенко П.Е.

These are disputed by various sources, such as [[Louise Bryant]],<ref>{{Cite book |last=Bryant |first=Louise |url=https://digital.library.upenn.edu/women/bryant/russia/russia.html |title=Six Red Months in Russia: An Observer's Account of Russia Before and During the Proletarian Dictatorship |date=1918 |publisher=George H.

As for the "several shots in the air", there is little evidence suggesting otherwise.
