The Decembrist Revolution

Revolution! The autocratic government has fallen, and the our ruler justly beheaded at Peter’s Square. It is time to create a new Russia, a Revolutionary Russia!\n\nThe new regime takes its leaders from the formerly secret ranks of the Union of Salvation, a cabal of Imperial Army officers who took a stand against oppression and led the uprising against the our ruler. Pavel Pestel was the ideological heart of the Union, while Mikhael Lunin and Nikita Muraynov led the charge from the front lines. Sergei Trubetskoy, nominally the leader of the Union, has only recently returned to Russia following ill-health. Each places a bid for leadership of the new Russian state.\n\nThe revolutionary state aims to abolish serfdom, establish equality under the law, and redistribute the land of oppressive nobles between the State and the peasantry. With a strong foundation in political liberalism, the revolution carries an unwavering resolve to challenge autocracy throughout the world.
