What was the spiritual crisis of Emperor Alexander I on the eve of his death that caused him to renounce the throne? Why did the sovereign lose the war with the Russian landed gentry? How did the desire to retain the initiative in developing the project to abolish serfdom affect the emperor's relations with his inner circle, and what role did the European revolutions of 1820-1821 play in this? How did the news of the death of Emperor Alexander I affect the plans of future Decembrists? Why was the manifesto on his accession to the throne not published? Did Konstantin Pavlovich have the right to renounce the succession to the throne according to the laws of the Russian Empire? What was the Decembrist movement? We answer these and other questions in the program "Historical Education" with Yegor Yakovlev on Sputnik radio. Guest of the episode: Boris Kipnis, military historian.
