In 1825, a group of disillusioned army officers launched a coup in the Russian capital, St.Petersburg. Their goal was to overthrow the Tsar, establish a constitutional government and abolish the brutal institution of serfdom. They became known by the month of the revolt – the Decembrists – a moment that nearly changed the course of Russian and world history.

Those revolted officers of the secret societies were incompetent leaders worse than the tsar. First they started a revolt and did nothing but waited in the senate square for the canons to attack them. After they run in the frozen river, many died others got arrested and exiled.
Sorry but I don’t think they were determinate to achieve anything else than die. Bad leadership, world history could have been different if they were ready to die for their beliefs and ideas instead of begging for forgiveness to Tsar, it could have been no first ww1 and ww2, no Communism, no Lenin and Stalin or it could have been even worse with a Russian Hitler attempting to dominate Europe and having a ww1 against Russia
The production value on this is amazing. A particular hats off to the narration. I don't know what it is, but the way he tells this story is absolutely gripping. The part about the botched hangings almost brought a genuine tear to my eye.
I know it is good manners and common sense for the Epic History TV crew to thank their patrons and financial supporters, but really, it's we – the ones who watch all of this AAA-grade content for free time and time again as much as we want – who should be thanking them. I almost feel guilty getting this for free on their dime.
I promise, one of these days I'll do my duty and chip you a few ducats. <3
Decembrists are not supported by ordinary Russians but supported and coordinated by British, French and Polish freemasons. Most of the Decembrist basically Freemasons, and more over most of them is etnically Polish, Jewish or German. This is great example of military coup by bunch of idealists.
Please 🥺 we want more I've searched through the channel again for more of these. But I've already watched them countless times. Please educate us more with these documentaries Anxiously waiting for the next one
Such an exquisite summary of events that are still echoing to this day. Thank you for all the research and effort that was put into this video and the series as a whole
you posted this video one day too late my man, last sunday i watched it with my entire family in our tv and i had to get up to go the second video. It was really enjoyable nevertheless!
What an absolutely incredible video! The detail you put into your videos is simply exquisite. I'm not a fan of the Decembrists liberal ideals but the courage the soldiers had to stand against what they thought was wrong is inspiring nevertheless.

I'd love a video from Epic History TV about the Caucasus War
Russians need to get out and see the rest of Europe again lol. Some have already realized how shit they have it just compared to Ukraine
An important video very relevant to our times
If only they were successful. Russia's trajectory would've been vastly different.
This was a terrible revolt lol.
Such good documentary’s, reminds me of what the History channel was when I was young. Thank you for the work you put into this.
it makes little sense why men of proven honor turn their backs on their country.
Basically this is freemason military coup supported by France, British Empire and Austria Hungary
These videos are incredible, nice work
Thank you for making this. I learned a great deal.

This is such a well done documentary. Great content!
I would love to see series about Scotland and Ireland fought for their Independence and Freedom from ruthless British regime
Fantastic presentation, outstanding quality and good context.
Love these longer videos. keep up the good work
Great work! Thx 🙂
Ironic that I’m reading Leaves from A Russian Diary while seeing this. Czarist authoritarianism seems fatherly compared to the hells of Bolshevism
No offend i agree with the idea. but that will end like French Revolution
EPIC HISTORY TV has surpassed all previous episodes which where all excellent to produce the BEST episode’s EVER 🫡
Still waiting for you guys to do WW2

Decemberists suffering from some serious performance anxiety.
