For the second century, the Decembrists have been confidently sitting on an ideological pedestal erected for them with revolutionary and Soviet propaganda, and the tragedy on December 14, 1825 is still one of the most mysterious and controversial pages of Russian history, causing a lot of issues of any unbiased historian.
Why were the ideologies of the conspiracy on the eve of decisive events far away from the capital and did not prepare for the performance, but destroyed the incriminating manuscripts? Why did the main leaders of the uprising not appear at Senate Square at all? If the Decembrists were those knights without fear and reproach, which is customary to portray them - why did many of them break in the investigation, renounced and repented? Did they act on their own initiative or were there only pawns in someone else"s game? Finally, could they win? And what would their victory turn out for Russia? Freedom and prosperity? Or a national catastrophe?
