A proposito di questo titolo

In December 1825, a group of young Russian officers led thousands of soldiers into Senate Square in St. Petersburg, demanding an end to autocracy and serfdom. This episode examines the Decembrist Revolt — its origins in the Napoleonic Wars, the secret societies that planned it, the tragic confusion on the day, and Nicholas I's brutal crackdown. We explore key figures like Pavel Pestel, Kondraty Ryleyev, and Sergei Trubetskoy; the 'Russian Truth' constitution they envisioned; the five leaders executed; and the wives who followed their husbands into Siberian exile. The episode also considers the revolt's legacy as the founding myth of the Russian revolutionary movement, inspiring later generations from Herzen to Lenin. A story of idealism, betrayal, and sacrifice that reshaped Russia's political landscape.
