Decembrists: reforms or revolution?
39.99 €
This collective monograph brings together the research of contemporary historians studying the Decembrist movement and its contemporary era. The monograph draws on scholarly achievements achieved over the past two decades. The authors represent leading scholarly schools in St. Petersburg, Moscow, and Yekaterinburg.
The monograph reflects current trends in contemporary historiography and illuminates aspects of the history of Decembrism, including the fundamental concepts of the political language of the participants in the noble anti-autocratic movement, secret societies as a political phenomenon in Russia in the early 19th century, the dynastic crisis of 1825, and the Decembrist uprising in St. Petersburg. It examines the activities of the Supreme Criminal Court in 1826, which determined the fate of the main group of Decembrists. It touches on the subsequent fates of little-studied categories of movement participants who escaped the status of "state criminals" (those punished without trial, pardoned, acquitted during the investigation, etc.), and characterizes the influence of Decembrist ideas on Nicholas I's views on necessary reforms.
The book is intended for historians, political scientists, cultural experts, and anyone interested in the history of Russian society at the beginning of the 19th century.
