The First Russian Revolution 1825: The Decembrist Movement Its Origins, Development, and Significance - Softcover
The ringleaders of the rising, which occurred in December 1825, were then arrested. They were all high army officers and members of noble families. The investigation that followed was conducted by Nicholas I. himself. It was soon disclosed that revolutionary leagues permeated the whole army. Wholesale arrests, accompanied by inhuman inquisitions, followed. Some of the revolutionists, known in history as the Decembrists, were executed and others exiled. But the flame of revolution lit by them did not go out with the suppression of the revolutionary movement. The severe punishment of the revolutionists only fanned that flame. The Decembrists had not sacrificed their lives in vain.
