Beskrivning
One of Financial Times’s Best Books of 2025: HistoryOn 14 December 1825 a group of young Russian army officers led 3,000 troops to Senate Square in St Petersburg, aiming to force the Senate to adopt a liberal constitution and transform the Russian Empire. The Decembrist Revolt – as it came to be known – was suppressed, with a second uprising in the south meeting the same fate. Five leaders were executed, and many others exiled to Siberia.Why did so many young noblemen risk their lives for regime change, what was their vision for an alternative society, and what were the consequences for participants and their families? This book highlights the often-neglected liberal tradition in Russian political thought and the experiences of Decembrist wives and fiancées, offering a fresh reinterpretation in the light of recent events in Russia.

Recensioner i media

The Decembrist Revolt of 1825 has come to be overlooked by the subsequent greater upheavals and revolutions that convulsed Russia. Rabow-Edling, a historian of 19th-century Russia who teaches at Uppsala University, has written an accessible reappraisal of the country’s “first revolutionaries”, many of whom were young nobles pushing for a more liberal regime, the harsh repression they suffered, and the lasting impact they had on Russia.
