Description	The uprising of 14 December 1825 opened a new stage in Russian history. Despite its tragic outcome, it had a profound effect on the later development of social and political thought in Russia, and even two hundred years later it still calls for close study and reflection. Who were these young reformers who decided to defend their ideals with weapons in their hands? What aims did they pursue, and how united were they in their noble intentions? These questions about the uprising of 1825 still provoke lively interest and heated debate. The author of this book is the well-known historian and publicist Yakov Gordin. The Decembrist movement became one of the central subjects of his research. Drawing on a wide body of sources and taking into account extensive historical scholarship, Gordin reconstructs the events of 14 December 1825 and the months that preceded it. He follows the actions of the main conspirators as well as figures from the government camp. The book revises many established views of the uprising and clarifies the motives of its participants. The main narrative is preceded by an essay on the political role of the Russian Guards in the eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries. Written in an engaging manner, the book is intended for everyone interested in Russian history.
