Answer 2

The 1825 anti-czarist Decembrist Revolt in Russia was led by a group of former army officers.

The Decembrist Revolt was an uprising against Imperial Russia by a group of Russian army officers who led nearly 3,000 soldiers on December 26, 1825. As this incident occurred in December, the rebels were called Decembrists. The rebels took the Senate Square in St. Petersburg, which, in 1925 and to celebrate the centenary of the event, was renamed Decembrist Square.
