The reasons for the uprising of the Decembrists?

The uprising of the Decembrists took place in 1825 in St. Petersburg due to a number of internal and external reasons. An unfavorable socio-economic situation developed in the country due to serfdom and autocracy. These factors hindered the development of the state in comparison with the rest. The tense situation was influenced by overseas trips. In them, the Russian intelligentsia got acquainted with the order of the Western states. The mood was also influenced by the revolutionary writings of European writers during the Enlightenment.
