What is unusual about the activity of the Decembrists?

The Decembrists were ahead of their time by about a hundred years. Only at the beginning of the next century, revolutions aimed at overthrowing the tsarist government began to thunder in the country. Serfdom was abolished only 36 years after the Decembrist uprising. It is believed that the formation of the worldview of these special people of their time was influenced by the French Revolution of the late 18th century, which penetrated with its ideas into Russia with the help of various Frenchmen who were then in fashion. They were hired as educators.
