metadata.name: dc.description.abstract
metadata.value: The review is devoted to scientific and historical-journalistic works of the late Soviet and
  post-Soviet periods which formulate the original versions of the events of the Interregnum
  of 1825 and the revolt of the Decembrists. The elimination of the ideological framework of
  Soviet studies of the Decembrists emancipated scholarly research and made it possible to put
  forward previously impossible concepts and hypotheses. On the other hand, the same circumstance
  contributed to the emergence of conspiracy theories and other quasi-scientific or not at
  all scientific versions that are not based on the necessary sources, but appeal to a wide range
  of readers. As a result, modern literature has developed a contradictory variety of conceptual
  models of different levels and quality claiming to explain the events of 1825. This review offers
  an experience of understanding the existing range of concepts, versions and hypotheses
  in post-soviet historiography. It focuses on the main discussion topics: about the circle of
  contenders to the throne (whether it was limited to Grand Dukes or included the Dowager
  Empress Maria Feodorovna); about the position and role of the Governor-General of the capital
  Miloradovich and the existence of a general opposition or a conspiracy of generals who
  supported the transfer of the throne to Grand Duke Constantine; about the role of the secret
  society of the Decembrists and the officer conspiracy initiated by him in the Guards Corps;
  about other influential political actors (the Russian–American Company, the “German party”,
  etc.) presumably opposing the accession of Grand Duke Nicholas.
