Left SR who commanded rebel troops, was amnestied and became a Red Army commander

A Left SR, Sablin served as a Red Army commander from 1917. In July 1918 he led the rebel troops in Moscow alongside Popov and withdrew them on defeat. On 27 November the Revolutionary Tribunal gave him, like Spiridonova, one year, but he was amnestied two days later in view of his services to the revolution. He soon went over to the Bolsheviks, commanded divisions in the Civil War and took part in suppressing Kronstadt. He was shot in the army purge of 1937.
