This book studies only one event in the period of the interregnum, the political crisis of 1825 which happened when Nicholas the First ascended to the throne. Adjutant Iakov Rostovtsev, one of the Decembrists, showed up at the Winter Palace on December 12th, two days before the Decembrists rebellion took place, with a letter to Nicholas and had a conversation with him. The author analyzes the letter and personality of Rostovtsev, the essence of his conversation with the Grand Duke, and shows that this event reveals many characteristic features of Russian history in their critical moments. Appendices. Bibliography.
