Pre-revolutionary official ideology called the Decembrists traitors, while Soviet historians portrayed them as knights without fear or reproach, whereas they were neither. Some were clever and cynical, some were honest but inexperienced, some were bold and reckless, and some were not pure of hand at all. They had different answers to the question of whether the high end justifies cruel means. But such different people had a common great aspiration - to destroy class society and abolish serfdom.
In the field of view of Doctor of Historical Sciences Oksana Kiyanskaya got and leaders of secret societies, and little-known participants of the conspiracy. Why dictator Trubetskoy did not go to the square? For what was executed Ryleev, who did not take part in the uprising? The book, based on published documents and archival materials, reconstructs the real history of the anti-government conspiracy, shows the connection between its participants and public opinion, and creates a collective portrait of the Decembrists free from ideological stamps.
